Ok, we have had a number of threads where people have requested this band or that band.
How about a thread where you draft a potential and REALISTIC lineup!
By realistic, please take all the necessary logistics into consideration.
(For example, 10 European bands would break the bank!).
Here is one potential line-up I thought of:
FRIDAY
Solitude Aeturnus (Return headline performance)
Pyramaze
Power Quest
Cage
(local band)
SATURDAY
Candlemass
Trouble
Jag Panzer
Agalloch
(local band)
Yeah, some will love this, some will hate it.
My thoughts were this:
1) BALANCE! Good mix of genres each night
2) COST! (Only 2 overseas bands, err are some Pyramaze members from overseas? Maybe)
3) Pyramaze!!!! Whatever their first performance with Barlow is, it's going to be huge.
4) Robert Lowe (While I was not present on Friday, his performance seemed to be a highlight. Having SA headline Friday will bring people back. Candlemass on Sat is a given, assuming the funds can be raised).
5) TROUBLE being local (Love them or hate them, they will draw in people who previously may not have attended Powerfest. Also, they are looking to tour the US in March. Could fit in).
Finally, I know some will reply with, "JASONIC!! WTF!!! Where's the recommendation for Nov Doom acoustic?" The band has already stated that in the states they would not want to do this in a bar setting. While I am not speaking for the band, I would guess that the Pearl Room would be considered a "bar" setting.
Let's make this constructive, and not another pissing and moaning thread.
Furthermore, responses such as "BAND X does not draw" doesn't carry much weight, as you need to consider the whole package. Think about things like what bands might draw a different crowd.
(For example, having BOTH Trouble and Candlemass will almost guarantee the attendance of EVERY trad doom fan)
GO!!!
