UNLEASH THE GUAN
Unklekronoz said:When I was younger bigger bands used to tour here all the time , but I suppose it only takes 1 or 2 lack luster gigs(Incantation had about 40 payers) for promoters to have second thoughts . The ANU used to be a lot more organised and had a ggodd entertainment manager who made an effort now they just take what ever gig is offered to them . Also as it is not a private business , as long as the bar comes out ahead they are not to bothered about making profits . Canberra does not really have any promoters either , so a combination of those facts is why I think we tend to miss out.
Ah, too true, Unkle. Too true.
Those boys at the ANU are nice blokes but they really don't do enough to push gigs bigger than Alchemist (which packed out and fuckin' rocked).
And as for Incantation, many other factors were involved in that for the poor showing.
1: it being on a tuesday.
2: Blood Lust being on the following weekend (which people were planning to attend rather than the Tuesday show, fools they are).
And 3: quite lack luster promotion from both within & without Canberra added to the fact that no one really knew who Incantation were.
As for a lack of promoters: Fuck! I's should start putting my's name and number out there more to help encourage interstate promoters to look into booking more Canberra gigs! 'Cause it always pays to have someone willing to do all the leg work in Canberra rather then sending down a couple of posters and hoping for the best.
