there's a girl who works for mcd, or at least used to, and she has a different trendy haircut everytie i see her. she usually has the clipboard with the guestlist and is usually seen swanning around whever venue the gig is on in, being "beautiful". i don't reallty think she likes music tho.jane said:Trendy people go to MCD gigs. Ok, that's a sweeping statement, but if an indie promoter booked the same band, it would probably attract a smaller and different crowd.
do people here think that smaller promoters tend, at least in general, to attract a crowd that is less likely to see the divide between performer/band and 'audience' as not such a firm one? In other words, do smaller indie promoters putting on gigs encourage ideas that bands are 'one of us', and maybe end up with fewer ignorant jerks who would actually throw things?
the size of the guestlist at mcd gigs means that disinterested dickheads who just wanna be seen there or get a drink and talk over the band - style victims basically - will ruin it for the people who really wanna be there. the gigs i've had spoiled by these people have always been mcd gigs. whenever i'm on the guestlist to anyshow i do what everyone else there who loves the music does - i shut the fuck up and enjoy the show. and i don't throw anything.
(if we all had stunguns then we could drop these fuckers and roll em under the stage and get on with enjoying the bands - a bit extreme but its crossed my mind a few times!
