China Creeps, The Hoosegow and Class of 1984
| Message Board > Show Reviews > China Creeps, The Hoosegow and Class of 1984 |
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | The Black Pixie and All Systems Media, in association with Riffilanda, present: THE CHINA CREEPS, THE HOOSEGOW and CLASS OF 1984 September 25th @ Logans $10 @ the door or discount admission to Riffilanda wristband holders. More details to come.... Cheers! - Sun, 9 Aug 2009 5:21pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | Why bother associating yourself with Rifflandia? What is rifflandia doing to help this show? The festival doesn't book punk bands...and only a small fraction of people attending the fest would even be remotely interested in this show. Why offer a discount to wristband holders? - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:09am | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Because Riffilanda is trying to branch out to include punk in the festival, and I thought I'd give them a hand by including my show with them. It doesn't affect people who do not want to participate in Riffilanda, because it will be at the door cover, but the discount is offered to promote punk entering Riffilanda. - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:18am | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | If Rifflandia was trying to include punk-rock in the festival, they would BOOK SOME PUNK BANDS. Sounds like you're helping them out by putting their name on another poster, and giving the people buying their wristbands, a discount at the door. But what is it doing for you or the bands playing your show? At best it's taking $2(or whatever the discount is) times 5 (the number of Rifflandia wristband holders that will likely attend this show), outa the bands pockets. - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:29am Edited: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:34am | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Bands are going to be well taken care of and will see money at the end of the night. There are bussiness reasons as to why I included Riffilanda. But I assure you, it will be like any other well run show in which the bands will see profit. Also there is a cap on how many wristband holders will recieve the discount price - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:34am Edited: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:35am | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | So...Rifflandia/Atomique is gonna scratch your back if you put their name on the poster? They'll help get your friends bands on some bigger bills, etc? I'm just wondering why I have to pay two dollars more to see the band than some people who spent $60 to see an indie-rock fest...and why 3 decent punk bands would want to help to promote a festival that would never book them to play their fest.... - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:46am | ||
| Dick User Info... | since this show has the big backing now , i think The Hoosegow needs a gaurantee of two hundred dollars, payable before they play... - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:43pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | $200??? Why not go for $400! - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:51pm Edited: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 1:19pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I don't see how this will really affect us or any of the bands on the bill. If some wristband sporting indie rocker shows up, then good for them. They'll get blown away by some of the best Skate Rock bands around these parts. If the promoter says she'll take care of us, it's up to her to do it. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Riffilanda approached me, therefore they are interested in these bands. The bands will get paid and it will be a great introduction of punk into Riffilanda that will hopefully convince them to put more punk acts in their show. The bands will not be affected by this, as I am still in control of the show, money and profits. I am not offering a huge discount at the door, I am merely encouraging people who do the whole Riffilanda thing, to come to the show and try out some punk - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 9:04pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | Bullshit. Rifflandia approached you...therefore they want free promotion and to develop some credibility outside of the genres of music they represent with their festival. Once again...if they wanted punk-rock in any shape or form, in their festival...they would have booked it. Also, once again...I see how this benefits the festival organizers...but how does it benefit you or the bands playing this show? My guess is that you get about five people with wristbands at this show...and that they would have been there regardless. So...I want to know why people who regularily attend and support Punk-rock in this town have to pay full price, while people with wristbands to a festival that has booked no punk bands in it's two years of existence, get a discount? Are Rifflandia at least paying for the cost of printing posters/postering for this show in exchange for putting their logo on your poster??? - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 9:49pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Yes, Riffilanda is making a financial contribution. This is in association with Riffilanda, not a Riffilanda show. - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:00pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | Yeah...it's obviously not a Rifflandia show...cause they wouldn't book these bands. It's good to hear that they are making a financial contribution though. Do me a favor and let me know how many wristbands you see at the door for this show...I'd love to know. Also...if you're gonna hop into bed with 'em, you might wanna learn how to spell the festival name right... - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:11pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Thanks TD - Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:20pm | ||
| superslacks User Info... | Shit T-man, why you gotta be such a dick? People try to build bridges and you just shit all over them. Who cares how many wristbands come to the show - every one that does is a bonus, and if none show up it's no loss. Are you just mad they wouldn't let you open for Tegan and Sarah? - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 9:07am | ||
| T.Depression User Info... | Who's being a dick? I just don't see why the bands playing this show would want to be affiliated with a festival that would never consider booking them to play. There are too many people worried about "building bridges", networking, making connections and doing favors in this town...and not enough people interested in just playing music/putting on shows, etc, etc. - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 9:45am Edited: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 9:45am | ||
| superslacks User Info... | "There are too many people worried about "building bridges", networking, making connections and doing favors . . . " Right, because being a malcontent and a jerk are really the best way to get shit done. You "don't see why . . ." who the fuck cares!? Figure it out, it's pretty fucking obvious. - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:30am | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | It's not obvious...it doesn't make any sense to me. So, I'm a jerk and a malcontent...Victoria needs a few of those...seems we have enough people going with the flow and taking things as they come. Complaining about everything on a local music messageboard may not be the best way to get things done...but I've got no other oiutlet to do it right now. Big Deal right...my oppinion holds absolutely no weight anyway, right? This is a thread about the China Creeps / Hoosegow / Class of 1984 show. It WILL be a fun show. I guarantee that none of the people who book Rifflandia will be in attendance...and I'm willing to bet that you won't be either, Superslacks. - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:23am | ||
| superslacks User Info... | Now you're talkin' my language - how much are you willing to bet? - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:18pm | ||
| T.Depression User Info... | I'll bet you a pint of Beer and a punk-rock 7" that you won't be there. The real question is...if you do show up...will you be getting the Rifflandia wristband discount? - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:39pm | ||
| superslacks User Info... | If I am in town that weekend I will be there - and I'll pick up a wristband just to shake in your face! You DO realize you're technically PAYING me to go to a show . . . . Sheesh - I never work so cheap! - Tue, 11 Aug 2009 1:22pm | ||
| LETSGETRAD! User Info... | 1) china creeps awesome. i have their 7" i havent played it in a long long time but ill have to bust it out soon 2) rifflandia stinks. whatevs. i dont exactly get the connection either but whatever im not one to pick. ARE there any punk bands playing rifflandia? i THINK bogus tokus are gonna play somewhere (hah i know, but seriously, go see them) but thats it as far as ive seen - Wed, 12 Aug 2009 1:42pm | ||
| Spinvis User Info... | right on, Looking forward to this one! - Wed, 12 Aug 2009 4:39pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | It never hurts to have a bigger entity help you out, even if they are getting something back. You assume 5 to 0 people will show up with wristbands anyway. No big loss. If you're worried about the $2 discount that you aren't getting, go buy a wristband. - Wed, 12 Aug 2009 4:46pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | No Discounts, $10 at the door. No longer Riffilandia show. (Due to it being easier for all promoters involved) - Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:07pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | 25 more days till everyone gets Creeped out!.....bad pun, eh? China Creeps, Hoosegow, Class of 84 - $10 @ Logans - Tue, 1 Sep 2009 10:21pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | WHO THE HELL IS SPINVIS!?! aaaargh Trevcore be at this one no wristband though Can I still get in if I dont have a wristband? - Wed, 2 Sep 2009 1:05am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | ......just kidding Trevcore could talk his way into anywhere, even with out pants. - Wed, 2 Sep 2009 1:12am | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | I'll be at the door TC. No wristbands. No longer a Riffilandia show due to complications - Wed, 2 Sep 2009 10:48am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... |  | ||
| canon.docre User Info... | Dying to know what the 'complications' were here. - Mon, 14 Sep 2009 2:55pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Complications= too little time/ lack of organization/ a promoter looking out for the best intrests of her show - Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:55am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Oh great. Now Depression thinks he has the weight to bully promoters around. - Tue, 15 Sep 2009 1:05pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Pffft, this has nothing to do with Mr. Depression. Simply put. Riffilandia and I tried to join together on too short notice. - Tue, 15 Sep 2009 2:28pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | DOOR PRIZE: 100th person gets free ticket to VADER ....if no winner- on stage auction - Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:12pm | ||

| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | TONIGHT!!! See you all there Doors @ 9pm, $10 #100 through the door gets a ticket to VADER - Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:25am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | The China creeps were a lot of fun Great tunes. Im so glad I went out to this Saw some old friends Scored some sweet merch China Creep 7inch and a sweet new Hoosegow shirt design It was great to skate tricks performed off of the stage The kid that won the trick competition went on to bust his deck I felt so sad for Pixie, alone on stage trying to auction off a twenty two dollar ticket that nobody was interested in I almost just gave her twenty bucks to help her out, but someone ended up with it for 5. Very refreshing I left covered in 4 dollar Hoosegow stickers. I didnt even feel them going on Stealthy done. Does that mean im accepted now? missed hoosgow and Class of 84, but I promised Jon I would rent the movie small but awesome crowd Thanks to the promoter and the bands - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 1:33am | ||
| T.Depression User Info... | Yeah...pretty small crowd at the beginning (for Class of 1984), but it got better by the time the Hoosegow got going. NOt bad considering that most of the Jak's and Teem Shiddy were outa town. I'm not surprised that the promoter had trouble auctioning off tix to Vader at a punk show...somone got a deal though. - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 8:53am | ||
| Spinvis User Info... | Hoosegow ruled! I thought the Vader ticket was intended as a prize...not an auction? - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 9:29am | ||
| T.Depression User Info... | I'm sure if 100 people would have shopwn up, the 100th person would have walked home with the ticket. That was the deal... - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 9:59am | ||
| KRIEG User Info... | Thanks, captain obvious! - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:45am Edited: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:45am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Who is SPinvis!? I need to know. - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:37am | ||
| goff User Info... | i'll tell you next time i get drunk - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 1:18pm | ||
| TheBlack Pixie User Info... | Despite recovering from a concussion and being ill, I still had a great time. Thank you to all the bands and everyone in the crowd that made the night great. Yes TC, we accept you...or at least I do Silly punks don't know who the mighty VADER is??? I'm shocked! Close to 100...but no cigar - Sat, 26 Sep 2009 4:19pm | ||
| Grimlord the stonedinater User Info... |  I have never seen Vader before...... Except on TV You should do a raffle or some kind of contest to give it away..... Like who has the biggest penis ...But that wouldn't be fare to all the other guys.... when is the Vader show? - Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:04am | ||
| Grimlord the stonedinater User Info... |  Fall down drunk again? Don't ask me where I got that pic from....... P.s. that's not B/P - Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:05am Edited: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 12:52pm | ||
