Official: Theocracy to Perform at Pathfinder MetalFest 2010 - Marietta, GA

How old are you again? I know you've posted it, but I can't remember.

From the shows I've been involved in, I know the age selection is a very tough decision for the promoter and the venue. If you make the age restriction none or very low, you maximize the number of people who can attend. But, then you have to deal with all kinds of difficulties, such as decreased alcohol sales (because, at least in MN, you have to segregate the bar from the concert area and no alcohol can be allowed near the stage, which decreases sales) and shutting the show down early - I think related to the curfew for youngsters - which is definitely something the venue does not want to do.

In my experience, the only time it makes sense to make it all ages is when the bands have a *huge* underage fanbase, otherwise it just doesn't make economic sense. Sorry!

AHHH! Don't they know there are 15 year old prog/power fans? LOL! Yes... I'm 15.

Here's a good article from Brave Words on the show.

Oh man! I saw somewhere that only people 18+ can attend this!! 0.0 I was looking forward to this. Can someone confirm this please?

unfortunately the venue has an 18+ rule due to the smoking ordinance. Not the promoter's rule. If it were up to the promoter, I would allow everyone from 9-90 in there as long as they bought a ticket.

Theocracy has played The Masquerade before - and it's an all ages venue. I'm sure they'll play there again sometime. Stay tuned.

I'm still dumbfounded why doesn't Jon Oliva name his band "Food". It'd basically have the same meaning.

really? That's what you came up with? ...really?

Artizan was made bigger than Theocracy?

no... no band was made 'bigger' than any other band on this roster except for the headliner. Theocracy in fact has the best spot of the night.

Oh look Theocracy is playing.... and their name is just next to the blasphemous nuns of undeath.

not entirely sure which band you are referring to. But I'll be enjoying the show regardless. where will you be?

You know, someone should tell the poster designer for that gig that he misspelled the URL for Jon Oliva's site as 'www.jonolvia.net'.

yes, it was addressed already and fixed. No matter, as JOP had to unfortunately cancel... as did Artizan.

They should also tell them that the font they used for Theocracy was waaaaay too small. Needs more like...

perhaps the person that Matt Smith had design the logo should be told about this. All we did was use the existing OFFICIAL logo from the site.

Too bad Artizan had to cancel also! I love their music!

Here's a review someone posted over in the ProgPower forums. From http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...-metalfest-weekend-nov-5th-6th-atlanta-2.html

Theocracy was as entertaining as ever. Last I saw them was at the Nightmare Metal Fest II (2009) in San Antonio and that is when I was blown away by them, bought their CD and had the guys autograph it for me and I have been playing their stuff during my radio show ever since. Anytime I wanna kick some ass on the air, I play LAYING THE DEMONS TO REST and whether the online audience is from Sweden, UK, Australia, Japan or elsewhere in the world, they all say they have not heard a more Awesome Metal song anywhere and that Theocracy totally rules...followed by a bunch of headbanging emoticons. I really enjoyed the new song by the way so for God's sake stop torturing us and put out the next album !!!!!!
