I wonder how many other gigs will be on this night now?

 

[pete]

I wonder whose practice space it is and why it needs a benefit gig.

 

[Space]

It's the bands who are playings' practice space and they want a benefit so the rent is cheaper for all the bands that use it and also to replace any gear that needs replacing.

 

[Cormcolash]

And to help fund the anti-Pete campaign

 

[pete]

TMI

 

[D0njo]

Collective practice space in Phibsboro, there's about 30 people who pay the rent as members every six months and others who pay per practice... people are putting on a benefit because it's expensive to run and because why not huh? And just to quell the possibility of any weird arguments, if you disagree with people putting on a benefit for something that you might not benefit from but is most likely a worthy benefit then just don't go to the gig. And that's that.

 

[pete]

now there's a man who's read the punx pr primer

 

[Cormcolash]

If Thumped sponsored the practice space, then maybe all of those 30 members would become members on Thumped, as well as the hundreds of people that are going to go to the benefit gig

 

[D0njo]

What are you getting at Cormcolash? Do you want a fight? Is that it?

500 quatloos gets you dibs on the fussball table for an hour

 

[D0njo]

Quatloos eh? Search leads me here- http://quatloosia.blogspot.com/
"If you claim dragons and fairies exist, or that the mossad is behind 9/11,
or that the income tax is a gigantic fraud by tens of thousands of people,
it's not for me to prove these things are false.."
"This mistake is known as 'proving a negative'.
It is by definition impossible to prove something does not exist."

I should have explained that to the guy who kicked me off the dole three years ago, he should have been trying to prove
that I wasn't looking for a job, when I had provided ample evidence to the contrary!
Huh. Makes ya think.

500 quatloos it is Pete, the collective has spoken.

 

[Cormcolash]

Ha yeah they tried the same thing with me, "Sure there's loads of jobs out there for everyone" - Oh hello recession, hey dole person, look how much of a FUCKING DICK you are!

 

[Fatbanger]

We (Slugbait) totally forgot this was happening until today. Can't wait to get up to Dublin to play a gig. Thanks a lot for having us. Anyway shit on the myspace is pure dodgy, here's a more recent video.

Isn't the benefit tag just a punk marketing ploy? Pulls at the heart strings. Beats having a regular normal gig where you can charge the same price.

 

[xsteox]

I wouldn't say so, no. In a regular gig the money goes between bands, after costs(Venue ect) in these cases it's actually going to a specific use.

 

[Cormcolash]

MY POCKET HAHAHAHAHA

benefit gigs are nearly always the same price , just the bands/sound technician/venue, or all three do it for free .. theres about 15 of dublins bands using the karate club as well as a screenprint group, Anarchist Black Cross, and other collectives..
why is doing a benefit for a resource space for our scene a questionable idea?
