Feels like its about time for Proteus to play another show
[Oct 11,2006 6:40pm - Kevord ""]
Is this the show run by the goth fest people or is this a totally different fest?
[Oct 11,2006 6:44pm - dyingmuse ""]
I am not sure man, I just spoke with Jeremy.
[Oct 11,2006 6:45pm - mcmahon ""]
Looks like the same fest.
Mortis Deveia is playing and they have it listed.
It's cool Godless Rising is playing.
[Oct 11,2006 6:46pm - Kevord ""]
Oh, Just wondering cause I knew they were putting on a fest and didn't want Aaron taking pictures at the auditions. I don't know it was in another thread.

it's the same people, matt marchese and anderson mar. my band would have considered the fest, but we're focusing on the katatonia show that weekend.

Yeah, I told him that was our big concentration also, especially where we have tickets to sell and so forth. we are looking at this as a warm up show, seeing as we have only played 1 show since the tour in May.
It would be nice to see this be a huge sick show with all the sickest RTTP bands on it!

Dan and I are trying to get some sick, cool local bands (MA/NH) on this fest. I know it's late notice but those who want to sign up - email metalfests@yahoo.com (we can also get you a phone # to call). So Shroud is playing next Friday with Eternal Embrace (working with Oak Knoll). Also Godless Rising is playing the Fest that weekend, Mortis Deveia (great melodic death w/ female vokills), Afar - I heard these guys are some great BM from northern MA. I'll be there most of the days (minus the Katatonia show) but we are trying to recruit some more great bands (I emailed): Hekseri, CNV, Aura of Aquila, Cythraul, Zircon, ATNFAC, and more - We invite you to come play and rule this fest! We'd love to see bands like Sexcrement, Goreality, Frozen Forest, Hells Infinite iv, The Accursed , Nephillim, Hand Choke Neck, Sin of Angels... or maybe I'm asking for too much
Email metalfests@yahoo.com or I can get you the guy's #. I'm sure I left off some other bands we would like to personally invite. I'm just trying to get some good representation here at this fest from all you bands we really dig. If you have any gripes, etc, I can help smooth things over. I'll try to be the middle man as long as I don't get too beat up .. heh[Oct 11,2006 9:06pm - jrb2971 ""]
oh ya and coffin birth, i heard they have a sick new member who can also hit the high notes in shroud

I know it's not the NEPGMABCDEFG.... officially
It's more of an offshoot but it's definately out to try to get good representation from the MA/NH (Manch especially) metal scene.
It's sponsored by BUD and we have some cool bands signing up (more and more rttp scene bands joining the army). Prizes, etc.
I know I'll be there most of the time with my cheap merch aka shit
I'm also trying my best to help make it easier for bands to play/sign up.
Hope that helps/answers your question. I'm not setting up the fest (I wish I could do an oak knoll fest) . Maybe I AM trying to take it over hehe who knows!? Crash it with my bands and our pals!
[Oct 11,2006 9:13pm - Aegathis ""]
i emailed the guy earlier today, still havent heard back yet
[Oct 11,2006 9:18pm - jrb2971 ""]

I just called Matt and he said he'd call you. I have his # here. As I said, if i can help smooth over things so that all the bands I mentioned and more can get into the fest easily/easier.. than I'm your huckleberry.
[Oct 11,2006 9:38pm - jrb2971 ""]
I just heard Coffin Birth is playing Sunday! kick ass!
[Oct 11,2006 10:05pm - blue ""]

Check your myspace.
[Oct 12,2006 7:01am - Cecchini ""]
i can always ask people in 3HM, although i don't want to spend the next week selling tix haha.
[Oct 12,2006 7:05am - jrb2971nli ""]
I just emailed you guys (that said you wanted in), Matt's email and #. Try to call him and let me know how it goes. -Jeremy
[Oct 12,2006 7:07am - jrb2971nli ""]
The whole ticket thing sounds bad, but I think with the short notice of this attempt to get more bands and better quality bands in, Matt is being quite lenient on tickets. I'm sure giving your best effort to help promote and make tickets available to your friends & fans will be enough. I mean if your playing don't you want to get the most people there?
[Oct 12,2006 8:47am - cousinit ""]
Hardtimes may be interested, can we get a number emailed to masshardtimes@comcast.net

Sucks for the bands that ponied up the $500 for 50 tickets.
[Oct 12,2006 1:40pm - jrb2971nli ""]
who ponied up tix? I heard the manch vegas fest is 20 tix min @10 each (15 if you keep 5). which is $200, and ticket sales minimums this late in the game should be very flexible. Are you talking about another fest/show? Maybe Mark's showplace or the NEPGM thing which is different.

what once was will play sunday if we can

naw, its the same show. to $500 was off the original 'contract ' given to the bands after the audition show on August 6th.
there is a thread blasting NEPGMF somewhere about that show.
[Oct 12,2006 4:38pm - sinistas ""]
It is NOT the same show as the NEPGM fest.
