Complete Gig History?

[Jasonic]

This might have been asked here before, but has an archived history of ALL Novembers Doom performances ever been created?

I love scrolling through the history of band's performances to see what venues they played at and what bands they performed with.

If this isn't available, what about listing some of the larger shows you guys have played? For example, I know you guys played House of Blues with OPETH a while back. You had mentioned playing with TROUBLE in the past as well.....

Fanboys need to know all!!!!!

I couldn't begin to remember all the gigs we've played, even just since I've been in the band.

Yeah, but what about highlights? (IE - opening for a national touring band, festivals, etc....)

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

Hmm, well for me highlights would be....

Playing with Opeth and Amorphis at HOB in Chicago.

Playing at New England Metal & Hardcore fests- 2001, 2002, 2003.

Playing Heathen Crusade in Minneapolis last January '06.

Playing at the Day of the Equinox fest last October with Deceased, Green Carnation, Agalloch, Woods of Ypres, Unexpect....

Playing the 9:30 club with The Gathering & Agalloch, 2004

We've been fortunate to play with some great bands (such as Green Carnation, Beoynd the Embrace, Trouble, Moonspell, Lacuna Coil, Spirit Caravan, Place Of Skulls, Obituary, Usurper, The Gathering, Agalloch, Reverend Bizzare, The Chasm, and a bizillion bands on miscellaenous fests over the years). I have fond memories of most of them.

And, playing at Milwaukee Metalfest was usually a fun experience too. Even though the fests could be chaotic at times, I think our performances went over fairly well each time.

Larry ,thanks for the info!!
That is exactly the stuff as a fan I love to know about.
I didnt know about your guys participation in the NE hardcore/metal festivals.

When and where did you guys play with TROUBLE?

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

We played with Trouble at the now extinct Oasis 160 club in Chicago Heights. Also on the bill was Ion Vein. It was a pretty solid show, actually.

Yep, we played NEM&HC fest three times, twice on the main stage. Wouldn't mind possibly doing that fest again someday, I enjoy playing in New England. I have a feeling we're not high on the priority list of bands with that promoter, however, heh.

Man, I forgot about that place. I never made it out there.
I was going to go see Manowar there once but it got moved to Riley's Rock House.

Thanks man. I always love hearing about and talking about past shows.

Rileys Rockhouse with Moonspell and Lacuna Coil was also a highlight for me. Houe of Blues with Opeth and Amorphis (with just us opening) was tops, and the 9:30 club in DC with The Gathering & Agalloch. Those are my 3 tops. Toronto Equinox, and Minnesota Heathen Crusade are also in the top 5 for me.

Cool!! I do not recall this gig, though at the time it happened I was most likely still predominantly into power metal. I never knew Lacuna Coil played Riley's. That was an interesting place.

 

[Novembers Paul]

This was before Lacuna Coil "broke out." They we're opening for Moonspell.

It may be a bit inpolite to ask but anyway (I don't want to open a new thread for this and it seems to fit)

You're are going on tour together with Agalloch (two of my favorite bands... i thought my wish comes true...) but as always... for me it's impossible to reach one of the confirmed venues... My question is if there might be a chance that you add Dresden to your dates? I know, the bands almost have no influence on the dates and venues they will play at and it's far more difficult to just pick a venue and to say we play there... but it would be wonderful to have to opportunity to see you and Agalloch live...

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

As I stated before on the forum about similar inquiries, you're right, we don't have any real influence on where the tour is being booked. It's all being handled by a promoter who is in charge of where we play, what club, etc. We'd love to play Dresden and anywhere else that people want us to come to, but logistically it's just not going to happen this time around. This is a relatively short tour and it's going to depend on how well it does in terms of us getting asked back over there and playing more cities. We're hoping that it will happen, and perhaps Dresden will be on the list of shows the next time we come, but as for this time I'm sorry, it's out of our control. All I can hope is that perhaps there's some way you might be able to travel to one of the other German cities we are playing. We wish we could please everyone but we just can't, I'm sorry. Thanks for showing the interest though!
