SAVE THE FUCKING BCCA! (PsyOpus benefit show!)[views:9931][posts:74]_______________________________________ [Dec 7,2004 2:02am - JonahBloodbath ""] You know in UHF how the tv station is being taken over by evil corporate scum bags and Weird Al had to do all these crazy shenanigans to raise money? We'll I'm Weird Al and the BCCA is the radio station. Long story short, the Brookline Community Center for the Arts has been trying to buy their building in order to secure their future as a venue for the arts. Some of the people that were putting up the money to do this suddenly backed out at the last minute and unless the BCCA can raise a shit load of money in the next 3 weeks and find another co-signer for the buy, the land lord is going to sell the building out from under them. If you don't want one of the few all ages venues this city has to turn into another cvs or dunkin donuts, read on! The BCCA is currently one of the ONLY places to do all ages events in boston. They host everything from Jazz dance classes, to martial arts, to metal shows. This place is SO fucking crucial to the arts in Boston and I can't stress enough how important it is that they stay open. Not only do they support me booking shows there, but they have asked me to join the staff. If they can stay open they are going to PAY ME to book shows FULL TIME. HOLY FUCK. TONS OF SHOWS. Here's how you can help: A. Come to a benefit show. I have two coming up. B. Donate money. anything you can. If your in a band, here's a nice perk. Whatever money you donate can be put towards a future room rental if you want to put on a show at the BCCA. C. Spread the word. Tell your aunts, uncles, brothers, co workers, favorite politicians, whomever! We need LARGE checks from anyone that can afford to give. its tax deductable! For more info on the BCCAs sitch, read this: http://www.bccaonline.com/support/ BENEFIT SHOWS SAVE THE BCCA!

| ________________________________________ [Dec 11,2004 2:57am - jonahbloodbath ""] yeah, who cares about cheap, all ages shows. if these shows don't do well, they could be the last at this place.. |

| ___________________________________________________ [Dec 12,2004 5:41pm - AttendMyRequiem @ school ""] PsyOpus are good. Adolph Satan are suck. what's the competition. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 12,2004 7:17pm - sean_streets ""] erhm, PsyOpus IS good, not are, is. but i do agree whole-heartedly. I've never heard adolph satan... |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 3:30am - JonahBloodbath ""] spread the word |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 5:10pm - BornSoVile ""] I'd love to see this show. I've been meaning to check out Fruit Salad for awhile. Psyopus is the most elite band in the history of the earth. Time for everyone who's bitching about no all ages shows to support. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 6:04pm - CongoogetalZobotomy ""] why go to this crap when you can see watchmaker and adolph satan with less retarted kids there |
| ________________________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 6:15pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] damn do gooders Ha ! |
| ________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 6:39pm - otto ""] CongoogetalZobotomy said:why go to this crap when you can see watchmaker and adolph satan with less retarted kids there yeah, lets just have joe not common book all the 21+ or 18+ shows in boston with SHITTY bands but sometimes the exceptional GOOD bands (i.e. Ascendancy thats pretty much it for good bands) godforbid this guy does an all ages show guaranteed his draw would be all the low life mall rats from south shore plaza and the usual kids who go to his shows. you know people who book GOOD shows dont book bands that THEY only like. they book shows to keep a venue going no matter what band it is as long as it draws a lot of people to keep the venue going. and when that venue is there for a while then you can book shows with nobody bands that no one cares about but hey if enough shows go on their you'll have regulars that'll come by and hear something new they might like or not like which will give everyband a chance. and i for one agree we need to ATLEAST keep this venue going specially since there are practically no all ages venues in boston period. and if this place keeps going perhaps with a little luck it'll influence another venue to do all ages shows. i'll definetly be going to this show and showing support because we need all ages shows back in boston by an open minded promoter so it won't be just a strictly metal or a strictly grind or a strictly hardcore or a strictly indie or a strictly punk venue. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 6:42pm - the_reverend ""] I'm going to both shows. points to me. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 6:44pm - succubus ""] depending on how i feel i may be attending with the rev |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 6:52pm - sean_streets ""] maybe you can actually see within the fray this time, rev. |
| ________________________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 7:35pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] who said Ascendancy was good !!! |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 9:09pm - adam_time ""] it seems more and more places are closing, maybe for the means of rebuilding and becoming something else, or just generally changing genres and possible "clientelle". options for good places for us metal musicians are getting slim, as if it wasn't difficult in the first place, we have to keep trying harder to find shows. although it's not our fault people have no taste in music, it's not our fault we like songs that have depth and technicalities of variation ignorant pop-goers can't understand, we still have to try to salvage what crumbling ground we have left. sites like this, shows like this, and the people that put fourth their effort from their daily lives to make all this happen are the reason we still have the drive to do what we do and make the music that the average joe can hate. even if you don't make it to the show, at some point there will be something you want to see happening here. and who knows, it may even become one of the bigger and better places, what with other places like the chopping block and exit 23 closing doors, and i thought i heard something about fat cats not hosting metal shows anymore. so toss j-dude some cash, it's a good investment. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 9:13pm - the_reverend ""] I'm seeing within the fry possibly friday. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 9:13pm - the_reverend ""] Fat Cat's closed down |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 13,2004 9:15pm - adam_time ""] we love you, rev rev. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 14,2004 3:33am - JonahBloodbath ""] also, just so people know, if this place sticks around im going to be booking a TON of shows there. They asked me to be the official "Event manager", which means im actually going to be PAYED to book events. thats fucked up right? I know I don't book straight metal shows very often, but i'd love to get bands like Ascendancy and Command presence over here to play shows. If we can raise enough money I promise to do my part in keepin' metal alive. also, thanks in advance for coming rev |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 14,2004 3:39am - the_reverend ""] maybe I'll take psyopus into doing some promo shots around boston. |

I've seen watchmaker before. i try not to let other people ruin good times for myself. plus I'd rather support something diy instead of the middle east. I was also under 18 once for a few years, I'd like to see kids have a venue to go to. bitterness is not a sign of age it's a sign of demise. |

Its owned by Clear Channel. (you moron) No venue has done more for the Boston music scene than the Middle East. Go to whatever show you want to, but don't delude yourself into thinking its a big corporation vs tiny DIY venue thing. |
