Hey...North American Kingcrow fans...

It's understandable that a full north american tour is not a financial possibility, but I'm surprised even this small tour is feasible for a band who on this side of the ocean is only known to die-hard underground prog fans.
Firstly... How about some of you guys start your own thread on borrowed time and quit hijacking a thread where we're trying to promote something that we're working our butts off on? Thanks!
You'll understand it better on Thursday when the full tour announcement is made.

Actually, the skipping of Northern California has been a recent phenomena. I really shouldn't complain because for years we got just about every tour every time. But all of a sudden that has changed. A lot of it has to do with venues closing, and a lot of the newer venues aren't working with promoters that book metal other than thrash, screamo and cookie monster bands. The promoter that used to book the Avalon in Santa Clara (used to book fantastic shows) has even sent out a list of bands that have contacted him wanting to book Bay Area shows (including U.D.O. for example) asking for other promoters to pick up the shows without luck. I really have no reason to complain, but I've just seen LA recently get 4 shows that I'd love to see that are passing us by, and I've just gotten a little frustrated. It never used to be that way.

Unbunch, dude. Three posts is hardly threadjacking. The band came up and the 3 people who know who they are commented. It should be all Kingcrow love from here on out. :Spin:

you need to have some girls or perhaps models in the announcement...that gets lots of attention....too bad I dont know anyone who knows any models.
is there going to be other bands on the tour or just local support at each show?

Hmph, fine. It wasn't hijacked. It was a "borrowed thread..."
And besides, this tour became far less interesting when we found out that it is skipping the west coast. West coast shows make this tour very interesting. No west coast shows looses my interest completely. Good luck with it though.

Ok I will, but at least I was on topic.
Thanks. But honestly, whining about tours not hitting your area won't get anyone anywhere. Calling it "fashionable" won't help your case either.
It's simple... there's obviously a couple of reasons why a lot of bands skip the West coast. Maybe if the fans still went to the shows every time they come to town, it would be different. Promoters would be willing to open their wallets a bit more that way. I suggest that anyone who wants to prove their area is worth of a tour should really be active about it, not in an internet forum type of way. Start going to as many shows as you can (even if that means an hour or two drive). Guarantee you that if shows start to fill up again, they will be there more often.

I know of a few tours coming up (not including the tour-that-shall-not-be-named-in-this-thread) that are only hitting the western part of the country. The reality is that with a country this big, not every tour can hit every city every time. And it's a lot easier to talk about how your area that gets a lot of shows but not ALL of them 'never gets tours' than it is to move to Chicago or NYC.
Not to keep being off topic, but when I was growing up in Michigan (which got a decent amount of tours), I used to see listings for MA, RI, NH and NY shows that weren't hitting Michigan and I always wished I was living there so I could see more shows. Years later I finally got the opportunity to move to Boston. Now I've started to see tours hitting Michigan and Ohio that DON'T stop in New England. ha! Nothing has truly changed, it's just that I tend to notice the skips more. Grass always greener, etc.

yup. the usa being as big as it is can be both a blessing and a curse for bands. on one hand, venues are much closer proximity to one another compared to Canada, but on the other hand, it can be very costly to go from one end of the country to the other. It's at LEAST a grand in gas not counting food, van rental fees, etc.
