Who should I talk to about booking shows?[views:4781][posts:30]_______________________________________ [Apr 20,2010 7:00pm - hauptpflucker ""] Just thought I'd throw it out here. Katahdin would like to start getting out towards Boston and eastern new england in general a little more. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks http://www.myspace.com/katahdin08 |

| _______________________________________ [Apr 20,2010 9:58pm - hauptpflucker ""] thanks dude |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 20,2010 10:23pm - eyehatehippies ""] Yeah, Rich Horror will hook you up nicely, he puts on a mean black metal bill. Talk to Chris who books Metal Thursdays at Ralph's in Worcester, he puts on great shows as well. PVD, Meredith from AS220 is cool, you can also try Ammonia Booking for Boston, there are a lot of people who put on shows. |

| ________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:41am - hauptpflucker ""] Two decent people and a douchebag, that seems about par for this place. Thanks for the tips people. |

How? This band's from CONN, how do you think they should get on the shows? Call the clubs directly? The BEST thing they can expect from that would be for the clubs to give them the same advice they've just been given in this thread.. Rich, Robin, FMIS, Rhen, METAL THURS, etc.... So are you just a dick, or do you have something against this band? Or have other people not ever given your band a chance? By the way, we played with this band at the shamrock in CONN about a week and a half ago, they were good solid awesome melodic black metal. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:49am - hauptpflucker ""] Thanks Jim, by the way I e-mailed you Ben's info I hope you got it. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:51am - brian_dc ""] Of course, do what the spirit moves you to do, good sir. |

It was strange, he started the email with a douchey, passive-aggressive mention of how he TRIED to stay in contact with me, but how obviously i flaked out.. LOL |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:53am - hauptpflucker ""] Haha, fair enough, he seems to have moved on to another universe or something... Anyway when Katahdin does get out to Boston hopefully we'll cross paths with you and your band(s) soon enough! |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:56am - ouchdrummer ""] It will definitely happen, i think you guys should talk to Darkwor about getting on a show with them, you'd fit together great. |
| _________________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:56am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] bennyhillifier |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:57am - hauptpflucker ""] Darkwor actually came out to the Shamrock a few months back. They're awesome dudes I'll definitely hit them up |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 10:58am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'll try to work some magic for you dudes. we also played with them at the shamrock. |

By the way, we played with this band at the shamrock in CONN about a week and a half ago, they were good solid awesome melodic black metal. holy shit.. all the way from connecticut? perhaps they could use the internet and try to personally contact the promoters... there's at least 10 shows listed in the boston area on the front page every day... "Who should I talk to about booking shows?"... are they 14 years old? Lazy sons of bitches. and yes I am a dick. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 12:26pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] or they could just completely avoid dealing with people like you. that would probably help them too. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 12:28pm - Alx_Casket ""] Big Red knows that any of his bands are welcome to play at my shows. You guys have played at the old spot before, would love to have you guys again at the new one. |

| ________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 12:32pm - boblovesmusic ""] personally contacting promoters and venues is fine, but there's nothing wrong with putting on a general message saying that you're looking for shows. It's called using all your resources and dare I say, apart from the usual nastiness, RTTP can be a good resource. That said, Katahdin is definitely on my list of bands that I want to book for shows! (once I get my ass in gear haha) |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 3:41pm - RichHorror ""] If it's black metal and in Boston, me and Czarnobog are all you need to talk to. Aside from the rare show Paul CNV puts on, all other shows are false so do not entry. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 4:05pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] THE WHOLE THING |
| _________________________________ [Apr 21,2010 6:05pm - haupty ""] it can be an excellent resource, i've got a bunch of contacting to do. thanks rttp. |
