How to spot a bad booking agent.[views:2644][posts:29]___________________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:17am - WhyamIandasshole ""] This is in reference to club booking agents. Not promotors cause there's a different mentality. Anyway. Any booking agent that will book you withing one email and a listen to an mp3 is a bad booking agent. Any booking agent that will book your band with one phone call without ever hearing your band is the worst booking agent on earth. These shows are the worst becuase you have no idea what your in for. Could be anything. Beware. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:30am - xmikex ""] this is why jarrods will suck forever. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:32am - Beakey ""] And the fact that it's in Attleboro doesn't help either. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:36am - the_reverend ""] it would be worse if it were in attleborough |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:37am - Beakey ""] Spelling is meaningless in this little game. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:52am - xmikex ""] both spellings are acceptable. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:53am - joe/notcommon ""] id say it depends on the club o'briens and the chopping block dont care who plays there, as long as people are drinking. it makes sense for bills bar and the middle east to be more strict though |
| _________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:54am - Beakey ""] Joe from Not Common doesn't care who the hell plays his shows, as long as they bring loads of downers with them. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 10:55am - joe/notcommon ""] hey gotta do what you gotta do i also like middle eastern women now who knew? |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 3:22pm - WhyamIandasshole ""] : post by Beakey at Jul 28,2003 10:20am JoJo Dancer booked my band before we even formed. True however Jo Jo is a promoter. Not a booking agent. This is about club booking agents. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 3:29pm - Beakey ""] JoJo is all of the above. He's got the music industry by the balls. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 5:03pm - WhyamIandasshole ""] He's what we call in the business "A Triple Threat" |
| ________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 5:11pm - Beakey ""] He's a booking agent, he's a promoter, he's an evil record company executive, and most importantly, he's the guy that fucked up the upper control arm in your Dodge utility van. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 5:19pm - WhyamIandasshole ""] THAT SON OF A BITCH!!! |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 28,2003 8:17pm - dyingmuse ""] so where does el doch ay and jimmy fall into this picture cause they gave me the run around,i still have no idea what neutron has to do with booking a fucking show has to do with anything!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| ________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 8:45am - Beakey ""] El Duce is just the guy that screens calls for Jimmy and gets the information for him. El Duce's not a bad guy, judging from the two times I've talked to him, but Jimmy is the king of the runaround. That's just the way he gets, so I'm sorry if referring you to him just ended up being a pain in the ass. Joe from Not Common knows Jimmy a little better and he said that he'd make sure to get you on the show, no matter what. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 8:51am - Beakey ""] PS - What the hell is neutron? |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 11:51am - joe/notcommon ""] ok well i have the show october 6th and everything is confirmed: from open to close: shroud of bereavement the accursed conifer kevorkian's angels ravage doors at 7, all ages, $8 thats the last show i am booking for a while talk to me again in january, maybe i will change my mind again |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 12:00pm - the_reverend ""] too bad it's on a monday. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 12:01pm - joe/notcommon ""] yeah, that place only books mondays, but its ok cuz i needed a monday anyways. however Aaron, you can catch the first part of the tour the friday before at obriens with DISENGAGED, CONIFER, KEVORKIAN'S ANGELS and GUT |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 12:05pm - the_reverend ""] I really want to see disengaged. I like the CD a lot and I hear their label's going to buy a bunch of pictures from me. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 3:43pm - dyingmuse ""] ok so that date is definite? ok ill let the band know asap.... cool by the way neutron was the "code" whatever if that guy runs guys around then well find other shows...thanks beakey for youre efforts..i trult appreciate the attempt...what band are you in anyways? and thank you joe |

| _____________________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 3:57pm - DeathMetalPriestess ""] Im looking foward to seeing SOB, I heard very good things about them |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 3:58pm - the_reverend ""] as well you should, they are awesome. beaky, I know you are in disengaged. maybe I should start a band called engaged. and then we could do a split-CD oh.. wait, I have no talent. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 3:59pm - Beakey ""] Rev, Dyingmuse asked what band I was in, that's why I said it. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 29,2003 3:59pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] Do half-assed beat- boxing over blips and tweets from your Game Boy. :satancross: |
