First off, here's the story.
Lane Rosen is the owner of the State Theater. I called him earlier this week to pay him more than half of what he asked to rent the ST for Metalfest (a whopping $2200 in total). That's when he informed me that he had gone ahead and rented the venue out to someone else for the evening.
I'm pretty pissed off about it but there's simply nothing I can do. I've spent all week searching for an alternate venue and it seems as if one doesn't exist here anymore. I will not do this sort of show outside because I will not chance the rain. I thank you all for your time and enthusiasm.
I will be booking another show soon, so all hope is not lost. The music scene in Albany IS coming back. All money to sponsors, donars, and ticket purchasers will be soon refunded. Keep a look out for next year!
In the meantime, visit Dead Relics to keep up with shows in Albany. Thanks for your time.
