fucking tour date cancellations! :(

SHDFSJFHSJF!

i don't understand why these venues after months and months of not saying anything think it's okay to let us know a WEEK before the show that they can't do the show anymore. GRRRR!

This just happened for Detroit and I think, Syracuse.

Can anyone think of any good alternatives, either city or venue wise? I was thinking maybe we could get at least a house show for Detroit or maybe play Pittsburgh instead? For Syracuse, maybe we could do Albany instead.

i know there are a lot of you guys in michigan that were looking forward to this show - we only have a couple more days to figure this out and I really want to be able to play up there for you all. We really need some help on this - if anyone can offer their venue, house, etc let us know ASAP!

 

[inkybmistro]

ohhh shit. okay. um.
did you guys try magic stick?

 

[inkybmistro]

if that's no good i'll try to find some other places. unfortunately my house won't work as awesome as that would be since i live in a condo complex with lots of strict rules about bands performing loud concerts therein.

 

[coelacanth_M]

I tried the Magic Stick and Lime Spider a while ago, but no response.

 

[inkybmistro]

I understand Michigan American Legion Halls should be available as well as Knights of Columbus if you can get in contact with one of them. I just posted some bulletins around various lj/myspace groups.

 

[coelacanth_M]

wow, thanks so much for helping us out! I think it would be really difficult for me to set up a show at the american legion hall or knights of columbus without going through another person. do you know anyone in the area who books shows at those places that i could get in contact with?

 

[ImNoPuppie]

i quit.

 

[coelacanth_M]

i may be able to get a show in windsor, ON... i guess that's right next to detroit, only 6 minutes away. i'm looking into it. i'll keep you updated!

 

[ImNoPuppie]

mia, canada, no.

 

[ImNoPuppie]

oh yeah did i mention i quit?

 

[Firedwarf]

are you kidding me? I'll call up my guitar instructor tomorrow and see if he can gimme the names of any places in Detroit that might be available to book on such short notice. is there anything I should know about venue size or pricing or whatever when asking for locations?

 

[Firedwarf]

you could try St. Andrews Hall (ground floor level, I saw The Dillinger Escape Plan there last year) or The Shelter (bands that may not pull in such a large crowd are usually booked here, it's in the basement of St. Andrews Hall) if you haven't tried them yet. I can't find anything listed for October 8th at St. Andrews so you might luck out.

Kasabian or whatever which is listed for the 8th is cancelled according to Ticketmaster.

There's nothing listed for the 8th for The Shelter.

we could try also a show in chicago proper instead of detroit too. i could ask my friend evan about that.
as far as syracuse i have NO idea. i wouldnt mind just chillin in vermont an extra day.
its gonna be real hard to get a show anywhere on close notice
my only REAL suggestion is that we try to find a place to stay as opposed to getting a motel because we didnt play that day. that's it.

 

[inkybmistro]

do you guys mind being piggybacked on another show?

 

[Josh Seipp]

playing in canada is fucking impossible.

 

[inkybmistro]

Some names that have been thrown out:

Magic Bag - http://www.themagicbag.com - You'd have to see if you could piggyback on Nashville Pussy's show.

Fifth Avenue Royal Oak - http://www.fifthavenuebilliards.com

Roche Bar - http://www.myspace.com/TheRocheBar

Hot Hits - http://hothitsinc.com

Moose MacGregors

Sub Zero Lounge

More soon.

 

[coelacanth_M]

AHHHHHHHHH

our chicago/wheeling show was just cancelled also!?!!?



ps - firedwarf and inkybmistro... thanks for the links! i'm e-mailing in a flurry right now!

 

[rachmiel]

want me to have evan call you?
anyways, we still have a lot of shows and despite this, tour is looking pretty good.

you should pick up the phone to deal with last-minute shit. email is too easy to ignore.
