Powerfest '09

[wiidar]

(jumping right into the fray with the first post)

A bit of an audacious suggestion, but how about Einherjer for Powerfest 2009? They're reuniting to play at Germany's Ragnarok festival in April (news here ) and it's alluded that more shows may be considered. They'd certainly draw a bigger and more enthusiastic crowd this time around than the paltry gathering that came to see them at Milwaukee Metalfest back in '98...
If you guys do sponsorship pledges like they do on Heathen Crusade forums, I can contribute at least $100 towards realization of the above.

Yeah, yeah, we know, we know. We took a chance with "industry accommodation" & got nothing in return. Lesson learned & rest assured, this sort of thing won't happen again...all bands will either be hand picked by us, or they will NOT play!

This alone will make 09 fucking awesome!
and yea, if i don't blow too much $$ on concerts around muh home I would be willing to sponsor Persuader or Pyramaze.

I was looking for a color code key.

Thought the colors might correspond to a country, at first.

[_Wes]

Pownd is a great live band! They put on a great show!

That would be cool to see. . .

 

[Machine of Hate]

i can't remember if anyone mentioned them or not, but what about Solace?

http://www.myspace.com/solacedoom

 

[Machine of Hate]

If we're going to get a doom related band, there are plenty better than Solace!

whats wrong with Solace?! i like stoner doom!

 

[Will Bozarth]

Anathema, godfuckingdammit!

 

[Machine of Hate]

Cynic. The new album is great.

I love Cynic...too bad they & their agents are unrealistic.

[Machine of Hate]

hmmmmmmmmm Candlemass. they'll have their new album out by then.

could we draw more than 50 people though?

 

[Will Bozarth]

I can't speak for Chicago, but the NY show was packed.

 

[Will Bozarth]

well, that's over 50

 

[Rycher]

I'm too lazy to go back and see if anyone else made this suggestion (including myself):

Poisonblack!
