Doors open at 7 (be there early: this gig will start on time) and admission is £5.

Why do the Kids insist on putting so many bands on at the same gig?

Don't worry nobodies gonna acuse you of ripping them off.

 

[damien]

only two bands were actually asked by us to play.
the other four all asked for the gig; there's no reason why 6 bands can't play a gig so i put them all on.
as it turns out Sexy Results have chickened out and scientific bong are only playing for 15 minutes, so it's going to start so early.

the idea behind lots of bands is to give people who come along to hear one particular band an oppertunity to hear bands that they may not otherwise listen to.

and as for ripping bands off: are you fucking kidding?

ps. if you're referring to the robocop kraus gig, there's a different reason why the line-up is so full.

Don't worry Damien you can do whatever you want at your gigs. And I wasn't making any reference to Thursday's one.

Just that from experience I know that while having a lot of bands play is is great it can become a bit of an unnecessary headache for everyone involved. That includes the audience.

Don't be so defensive?

Oh, I meant ripping of the crowd. Not the bands. As in, I can't see anybody saying "hey, the kids are only putting on 3 bands this time, the fuckers, probably just want to same some money, pricks"

Personally I like bands to play for only 30 minutes unless they are completely amazing and to be honest I haven't seen a completely amazing band in ages.
But point taken, but it ain't changing anything.
