The New Noise Music Collective have organised shows in Galway for the last couple of shows, here are some very rough figures:
Total Chaos (adm 3): Got about 300, 3 of them were totally cool. 1 of them was a little grumpy but chilled after a while. Put up a great show, shared most equipment and were extremely grateful for the show at short notice. Went to night club with us afterwards and were friendly, good humoured and good fun all round.
Leftover Crack (adm 5): Got about 600, a little to harder to deal with before the show as they felt their guarantee would not be met and things were running late. Put on a decent show, shared some equipment .
SKINLAB FINANCIAL REPORT
TICKET SALES (200@€11) €2100
SKINLAB €900
LABRAT/FREEBASE €200
FOOD ( seems like a lot I know….fed about 20 people) €140
BEER € 50
TOWELS € 45
PHOTOCOPYING € 10
PHONE/INTERNET € 50
TAXIS € 30
EQUIPMENT HIRE € 50
PETROL € 30
TOTALS €2100 €1510
Soundman and PA hire was paid for by venue. This left us with a profit of about 500 which we used to buy a bass amp, some drinks for the organisers and the remainder was used to subsidise gigs that did not get such a big crowd ( usually DIY bands from the UK who were not known and therefore don’t get such a big crowd )
The guarantee for Skinlab/Labrat/Freebase together was about 750 (600 for Skinlab I think) which I felt was not that unreasonable…..! I gave them more than that because the show was sold out and people had paid 11 euro to see those bands so they deserved the extra money. The bands were totally cool, extremely grateful and friendly and all put up great shows. They shared their drink and were not rock stars. The show started at 5pm with 6 local support bands who all played for free. At 9:30 we changed the backline which the 3 main support bands used.
Lightyear (adm 3): Got about 150, great show, really nice guys no problems.
Of course we put on a shitload of DIY bands who were only on very small "guarantees" so i dont need to go into the details. As with most bands there were always some assholes amoungst them (americans/ english/ irish/ germans/ scots). Some bands were not keen on sharing equipment, Moaned about the price of beer, wanted free beer etc.
You might ask why i bothered putting on Skinlab/Total Chaos/Leftover Crack.
Skinlab- I saw and met them before. They were cool guys and play decent metal. I knew that alot of people liked them and they would pull a good crowd giving the local support bands to play in front of a lot of people.
Total Chaos- Have been listening to their stuff for 10 years, originally turned down the gig as the guarantee was too big, but Andrew asked me 10 days before they came over to fill their day off. I told him i could'nt give a guarantee which was cool.
Leftover Crack- I like their music.
