| Now Find a show to go to! Mar 12 (Sat) - Faces of Bayon, Sarcomancy, Nocuous, Forced Asphyxiation, Useful Idiot - Club Oasis (Worcester , MA) 3/12 @ Club Oasis - Faces of Bayon, Sarcomancy, Nocuous, Forced Asphyxiation, Useful Idiot[views:45234][posts:188][show listing] _____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:28pm - ouchdrummer ""] I'd offer our guitar cab... but it's not our guitar cab. We're borrowing it from EricBoar for EricIdiot cause EI's cab is blown from the church show. Sorry. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:32pm - Sacreligion ""] I will message FoB and see if they're cool with sharing their bass cab. Hey joshes are you guys opposed to headlining if the time comes to set up and staples hasn't arrived yet? |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:37pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] if worse comes to worse i'll bring my bass cab in my trunk as well. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:40pm - arilliusbm ""] if worse comes to worse, i'll be arriving and leaving in a cab. harharhar, c whut i did thur? |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:41pm - Alexecutioner ""] IF we can fit our massive bass cab in the truck we will bring it for people to use. Does Nocuous have one me might be able to borrow? We have heads, and ritual compensation |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:52pm - Sacreligion ""] Matt FoB said people can use theirs if necessary. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:53pm - BSV ""] i hope to provide whom ever hooks it up with some cab for me with some Red Robin fries and onion rings. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 1:54pm - Sacreligion ""] Oof. You workin there? I hated that place. |
| ____________________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 2:50pm - Nocuous_Fumes_nli ""] Alex, while I'd love to help you guys out, we don't have a bass cab. our bassist has a shit-box combo. We're the band that borrows bass rigs. Like I said, you guys are welcome to my guitar cab though. Marshall 1960 4x12 16 ohms. |

Red Robin is great. love their fries. because of this statement, I'm almost tempted in bringing equipment even though I'm not playing |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 3:45pm - ouchdrummer ""] Jeeze, if we didn't bring cabs... we could go with a car less too. But I ask you, is that fair? (i only bring up this hypothetical problem for discussion sake, not because i want someone to feel bad, or to pick a fight. The subject came up, it reminded me of a pet peeve i've had with people not realizing how inconsiderate it is to show up at a show with no cabs and to assume that someone else will let them use theirs, and that it's not a big deal because they had to bring them anyways.... again, i'm not saying someone is doing this now.) Of course if something happens and a bands' equipment breaks, it's reasonable to benefit from a friends work (luggin the cab) so that you can avoid having to spend tons of money on a replacement last minute. But lets look at this HYPOTHETICAL situation from a different angle, lets say that a band HAS the cab, but doesn't have transportation.... tricky.... In this circumstance there are cheaper options than the last situation (renting a UHAUL is much cheaper than the previous solution of buying replacement gear, but is it expensive enough for you to feel that it's fair of you to put the burden of using a cab that they had to transport, and that DOES accumulate wear and tear INSTEAD of you bearing the responsibility and renting the UHAUL? Lets look at a 3rd scenario, let's say that you have a cab, and you have the transportation, but you don't wanna move it, or you don't want to spend the extra time to move it... at this point, aren't you REALLY saying: "hey, i know that your band needs that cab, and that it's expensive, and that it's going to be a pain in the ass for you to get it down here.... but if i had to bring my cab, then "I" would have to deal with all that BS, so can i use your cab?" How does that last one sound? Kinda rude right? Don't get me wrong, i've totally borrowed shit from bands at shows forever, and i've come to realize that even though they're going to have the equipment with them anyways, I'm still willfully saving my own time while taking advantage of their time and effort. So what's to be done? Well, not something so different from what happened in this thread before my post. Someone was in need and asked, and offered to blaze with peeps who help em out. That's fair. Maybe you don't blaze though, buy them a couple rounds, or give them 20$ in gas money. Just make sure that you realize that it's your responsibility to have gear at your own show, and if you need to borrow it from someone, make sure you take into account that it's very inconsiderate to NOT look at it like a favor that you should reward. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 3:58pm - Alexecutioner ""] Totally understandable Jimbo and while I don't take offense to your post, the main reason we are looking to borrow cabs is that there is a good chance we can't fit everything we have into Brians truck, and while we can have our bass player meet us at the practice space to help transport, there's also a good chance we wouldnt get there till about 9. So in best interest for the show as far as set up and tear down, there is a chance I wouldn't be able to set up my drums before you guys go on if we don't get there early enough, since our bass player is driving from NH. That said tho, we are all set for a bass cab, and Reuben will certainly be receiving ritualistic compensation if we are unable to fit our cab in the truck with us. Overall, transportation is a bitch haha |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 4:10pm - Alexecutioner ""] with that said tho, we would never just show up to a show and assume someone would be cool with it. never hurts to ask in advance tho, and its definitely always a huge favor. there have been times where we simply could not fit Evan's cab in either car to head to a Scaphism show, that Suffield, CT show with Boarcorpse especially. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 4:15pm - ouchdrummer ""] stop defending yourself. I TOLD YOU I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU!!! |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 4:19pm - Alexecutioner ""] haha, i know you werent. but at the same time, your post made me realize that we've definitely gotten used to the idea of borrowing equipment at shows, which i intend to look at in a much different light from now on. thanks Jimbo oh and just for the record, SM:0 |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 11,2011 4:20pm - Alexecutioner ""] but seriously. jimbo can i borrow your drums so i dont have to bring mine? fuck that shit! |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 12,2011 1:17pm - Nocuous_Fumes ""] Last minute change of plans. Nocuous will be doing an all acoustic set. Anyone have 2 giant mariachi guitars, a stand up bass and a set of timpani we can borrow? |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 13,2011 12:25am - Samantha ""] So, it looks like I'm not going to make it to the show. I got a ride, but their car broke down halfway there. It sucks because I took tonight off work to go to the show. We ended up walking to a nearby Chinese place to imbibe strong exotic drinks, so the night isn't all bad. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2011 4:46am - Sacreligion ""] But in all seriousness, this night was fairly fucking perfect. My only regret was babying the new speakers, not allowing enough time for pounding beverages. |

Lindsay was convinced that there was no way she would be able to keep this a secret from Tony but somehow we pulled it off... that's amazing in and of itself! Great night overall :THUMBSUP: |
