sounds like a killer time!!!!! we are all for it, and any help that we can do let us know!

We are on tour on that date and the following day finishing up the Keen of the Crow tour and will be in Detroit so obviously we won't be playing this festival. It'd be cool but we're elsewhere.

if Dan can confirm this then I'll just try to get Black Harvest to play it instead.

Ok...here's question...is there an alternative plan if this fest runs into bad weather? Like at a club, or another rain date or something like that? I don't know how it is in NY, but here spring brings a whooooole lot of rain...

Also, exactly what type of stage set up are we looking at? Is there going to be a rental back line for all the bands to use, or do we need to bring our own stuff?

i think a Death in the Forest shirt would be really really cool... arrange it like an OzzFest shirt. have the 1st and 2nd stage bands in their respective column with their logo on it, date, location.... dunno, just a thought!

 

[Withersoul]

No one has an answer to my question?

 

[Oak Knoll]

what question was that.. I'll go back and check. by the way - it sounds like Black Harvest wants to play - they are trying to get a drummer and bassist - either perm or just for the show. Kishor isn't online yet.. soon! but i have his #

to answer withersolus questions, there will be 2 stages 50ft long 20ft depth, were working on the backline for bands to use, and the venue that we are in the works with has a large indoor area also, the idea of doing the show on the sunday(the day after) as a rain day is still in the process where we will have to find out from the headliners if that can be added into their contracts

 

[Will Bozarth]

i hope it wont be the next day, because the 20th is my birthday! hehehe

 

[Will Bozarth]

Agalloch would be awesome to get for the show

 

[Withersoul]

What about the other question... is there going to be a backline rig (i.e. cabs, drums) for all the bands to use? Or do we need to bring our own?

 

[Nephillim]

Were working on a back line, as of now we have 8cabs, and an ok quaility drumset for stage 2, bcrich and custom amps are in the process of determining what they are going to send us as their sponsorship of the event

 

[Oak Knoll]

just let me know when you want that posted to the site

 

[Withersoul]

Cool... the fest got advertised on Blabbermouth!

 

[Will Bozarth]

its on BWBK, as well

 

[Withersoul]

and Lambgoat.com!

 

[Withersoul]

Is there a hotel nearby where all the bands can stay at? It'd be cool if there is one..so we can have one massive metal floor party... Not to mention, it'd be good to get reservations now...

 

[Nephillim]

ill have all of that info for you in a few days, im trying to work out deals to get some better rates at a few hotels
