In Opinion, Excessive. I don't think so. Well, everyone that goes to the shows That I Arrange. Enjoy the event more than all these other shows that showcase three bands. It gives a Mix. If I was just going too see band's. I'd rather get the best of my $5 and see 8 bands then 3. It just makes more sense. If people don't like the band that's on, all they have to do is wait 35minutes till next one goes on. Instead of just leaving and wasting your money. Keeping Metal alive is pretty hard to do in this city as most people know. I just wish other band's in the hardcore genre would be as open as what most show organizers and mix the lot. That's why we have The Killing, Dopamine and others that are not playing metal. It's about musical support for me. If it's heavy and aggressive why not put all those band's together. We do have a lack of Metal bands in the city that play out. That's my food for thought. Anyway, see you at the show Jesse don't forget to bring your own cymbals.
