vittywatt Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 yea rtt hates that club with a passion!!!!!!! im also very surprised you guys are playing this club...lawrence arms/american steel couldn't sell this club out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantheterrible Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 i saw Fake Problems at Harper's...like...8 people paid. it was embarrassing. this is why "bigger" bands who aren't huge should contact me, but i'm fine to let them be unhappy with this city if they want to just take the easy way out.

benchwarmer Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 A lot of shows are going there since axis/avalon closed, I bet mostly because it's a decent size, and does all ages at night unlike the middle east. place has such a weird layout though. why bands are choosing there, I have no idea, I don't know a thing about booking.

vittywatt Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 i bet its a lot less bands choosing and more like agents/tour managers deciding its the best place they can get a decent guarantee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I love Harper's Ferry...what's the problem? It's right on the bus line, they have good beer on tap and it's a nice small club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantheterrible Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 it's not all ages at night it's 18+ but more my concern is bands that can't fill this room playing there. it's embarrassing how big the room is, and if there aren't a hundred people, it seems like the bands are playing to no one. this show should have been at the mideast up, or talked to me and put in a basement, or the zine library, or whatever. the bands will get like, no money, even less then if i was setting it up, because room cost there is fucking high as shit.

ericheartsu Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 woah woah woah...i book tons of shows in houston, so i tottally agree with you about big rooms and bands playing them that can't fill them. But where were you like 5 months ago when tour was getting booked! and could you offer a garuntee or a decent door cut for not one, not two, but three touring bands. One of them who draws super well, and doesn't make any money off of anything but the door? i'm not trying to knock you down, or say you aren't doing anything, but you have to put stuff in perspective. I would have gladly booked the show with you, if i would have known that you wanted it, and could help us all out, but fact of the matter is, my friend colin stepped in, got it last minute, and made sure everything was taken care of. next time, ryantheterrible, you and i shall dance in the boston streets.
