Pay your $15 straight to Converge.
[May 15,2008 1:44pm - JoeyCobra ""]
I'm pretty sure the only reason it's 15 is because this venue is tiny(maybe 100 people) and It's not the cheapest of places to rent out.

BS. Rocko's can fit a couple hundred easy. It's a decent sized venue. If the place is too expensive to rent for shows then find another venue. When I started going to hardcore shows at Karma club in 1997 the cover was $10. 10 years later the cover for any show in Brockton was still $10. If you've got a band like Converge that needs a large guarantee you bump it to $12. They're gonna draw at least 200 kids, and sell a shit ton of merch. There's enough money there to pay for the venue, pay the supporting bands, and take home a good chunk of change.
That's not even the issue. Converge, or no Converge this should would have been $15 anyways.

shit when i started going to the Rat i remember shit being 6 or 7 bucks.
[May 15,2008 2:20pm - xmikex ""]
Exactly, and that was a legitimate venue.
[May 15,2008 2:24pm - JoeyCobra ""]
I was pretty sure the capacity was lower than 200...maybe somewhere between 100-150. Trying to find a new venue is no easy task now-a-days. I'm not putting on this show, but when I did put on shows there were several available. Now most of them turn down shows, the ones that do allow shows ask for a completely outrageous rental fee, and sometimes require you to get insurance to cover their asses.
& the show was $10 before Converge were added, the old flier is in another thread.
but whatever....I mean arguing about this is pointless

everybody has opinions of local promoters in the area, it just happens. I guess I've been lucky to get along/not get screwed by anyone really...with the exception of someone who USED to book in NH some years ago and a also someone showing up to the Through The Eyes of The Dead/Ed Gein/Despised Icon/In Dire Need show in Ashland telling the guys running the place and bands playing he booked it.

Ahh...I really think a beer off would be fucking awesome. Go into sunset grill at say... 2pm, there's a coin flip and the winner chooses the beer for that round. then after those beers are done the other person chooses the next beer.

EEWWWWWWWWWWW, fucking stalker.
[May 15,2008 6:37pm - Joshtruction ""]
I only remember because I took one in on trade at the same time. I was listening to your old amp a few days ago. I love that thing. Hows the XXX treating you?
[May 15,2008 6:41pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
the dc-5 ruled. the xxl was nice. the xxx is treating me very well. I love it. Still getting acquainted tho. w/ my bridge emg 60, it's just nonsense without a hush...
[May 15,2008 6:44pm - Joshtruction ""]
always remember that thing has an active EQ, not a passive like 99% of other amps. The slightest eq movement makes a drastic change in tone. I used to get killer tones out of my XXX. I kind of want another one. Did you end up buying that hush that someone here offered you?
[May 15,2008 6:51pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
i wouldnt say it has killer tones. its pretty much a one trick pony imo--but it excels in that one modern brutal vibe. my main complaint is that the mids are way white boy but i like the modern crunch/saturation for sure. its like a different unit with a hush. tried a tb and a super c. bith had different results.
[May 15,2008 6:54pm - Joshtruction ""]
one trick pony I agree with. So killer tones, no. Killer single tone... I guess so haha. White boy?
[May 15,2008 6:56pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
whiteboy meaning it has no soul or liquidity. it's all bark and bite, kinda flimsy and inorganic too...competes with the highs a bit as well unfortunately. the fullness and tastefulness of the mids PALE in comparison to the mesa.
[May 15,2008 6:57pm - Joshtruction ""]
try boosting yet?
[May 15,2008 6:59pm - W3 nli ""]
hey hey hey less gear and more beer talk
[May 15,2008 7:00pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
no fucking way. i said i have an emg 60 in the bridge. wanna talk bright?! plus you can also use the effects send and return dials in the back as a boost sorta. cool stuff especially with the dampening switch combinations.
[May 15,2008 7:15pm - Joshtruction ""]
I had an MXR eq in the loop of mine... made a huge difference.
[May 15,2008 7:34pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
i was recently offered a 32 band eq for dirt cheap but i thought to myself, as much as i would love to tweak until im 45 yrs old, an eq means that i dont actually dig the sounds that the head gets. if thats the case, i should just get an ENGL not an eq. plus, i like my signal chain tight n short.
all i need now is a 3 banger skb, a furman, a hush c, and a korg tuner.
DONE!
[May 16,2008 9:11am - ximxthirsty ""]
Legal Capacity At Rocko's is less than 200, its a small place not a descent sized . xMikeyx i dont know what ur saying, have u ever gone to Rocko's, and do u know me well enough to call me a herb whatever that means....So yeah 15 bucksfor this show for Converge...ya im pocketing alot of money...lol...Do u even know how much Converge Charges?
[May 16,2008 9:46am - xmikex ""]
Maybe the fire limit at Rockos is less than 200 (which doesn't make a ton of sense), but I've seen way more kids in way smaller places than Rockos. I guess it's small compared to Static X at the Tweeter Center or whatever you were doing before you all of a sudden started booking "hardcore shows."
If you can't afford a band, or a venue then don't book. Leave it for the real promoters.

nooooooooooooooooope.
This was the lowest i could possibly do this show for
How much was that Hoods show a couple months ago? Something like $12 in advance (whatever the fuck that means for a Friday night hardcore show), and $15 at the door. I felt sick to my stomach knowing that I played a show that expensive. Hoods are a great band, that draw well, but unless you're paying them in diamonds it's still an $8 - $10 show anywhere else but an "I'm Thirsty """Production"""".
i think your disrespecting the bands that are playing this show by saying that.
Did you come up with that opinion, or did you rent it for $70 an hour an expect me to pay for that too? I hope this show turns out phenomenal for all the bands in spite of a promoter who hamburgles hardcore kids on a regular basis.
all I am looking for is to be part of the experience.

Hoods was $12.00 and ur band sucked i should of never booked you.

The music industry is a tough business and you either make it or you don't.
I'm Thirsty Entertainment is one of the only booking agencies in this state to consistently bring big package shows (and yes, I know Mark's Showplace but they can bite it). It's not easy doing what he does and I would know because I helped with most of it for almost 6 months.
Getting Converge in Manchester is a big deal in my eyes. A $15 cover charge is nothing. Converge is charging $2000 just to play so you should be grateful someone else is dealing with that and not you.

No credible promoters make you sell tickets. It's a show not a raffle. This show isn't even making bands sell tickets so there goes that right off the bat. There are way worse promoters than xI'mxAPoserx Entertainment. So if you're selling tickets to play a show you're getting taken for a serious ride.
Scam or opportunity = Opportunity
You know the Germans use the same word for scam as they do for opportunity. SCAMATUNITY!
try going to NY and insulting promoters.
I play NYC all the time. I've never had to deal with a bad promoter. In fact I played an awesome show last summer in Brooklyn that a 17 year old kid booked. The turnout was great. The show was insane, and all the bands made out well. It just goes to show that it takes way more effort to be a shitty promoter than a good one, which is why it's so necessary to make fun of them when they pop up.

No its not a ride. No wonder your band has gone no where excpet maybe 1 show last summer with a 17 year old kid, that brought 25 kids, but hey in your eyes im sure that was a success cuz no one sold tickets right?

But hey man, if you wanna book us at whatever sports bar you think is cool we'll come out and do Pearl Jam covers. Buy me a Busch Light and we'll do an encore of More Than A Feeling too.

I'm gonna be moving into my apartment this night.
Honestly, I'd just be there for Astronomer and Trap Them if they were still playing.
I just don't dig the last 2 Converge releases. I'm not denying their talent, it's just not something I can listen to on a regular basis and from the rumors that have been floating around, they're only playing recent songs.
oh, and There Were Wires > Disappearer
[May 28,2008 11:34am - thirsty ""]
Bring your gramma rev. !
[May 28,2008 11:45am - Musical Authority ""]
Converge sucks. I remember kids saying There Were Wires were the indie version of Neurosis (at least their final album), what a crock of shit that was. Pelican's Australasia > Disappearer. Sonic Youth's Disppearer > Disappearer.

Ridiculous. There Were Wires didn't sound anything like Neurosis.

NO! Go to Kevorkians Angels LAST SHOW EVER!! at the Midway in JP!!
[May 31,2008 2:12pm - the_reverend ""]
or you could probably go to both shows. what time is the midway show? noon to 3pm?
I ran in "just in time" to catch converge. it was excellent once you got past the whole bar sound system. I'm amazed that all the mirrors stayed on the walls there. As for all only new songs, I think that you can connect the dots with the set list:
[img]
Notice songs from all other their catelog. The best thing is the kids, young and old, who come to these shows and totally rage. I knew this show would do really well, but when I got there, everyone was still all smiles in the crowd. I was 1/2 expecting a warzone from just the opening bands. There was one point where jake pushed into the crowd and then I saw more than 3 people into the crowd. Some kids nose exploded like that guys exploding head in scanners. I wished I had my new stickers... I'm going to start taking pictures of people with them.
One of my favorite things is trying to get colors in the audience just snap out. I get a lot of practice with that and the contrast of dark tattoos against pale skin.

oh also, jake said that this was converge's first NH show in TEN years, not 5. He mentioned Rochester, so you know that stretches way back.
