YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a fucking clusterfuck of mixed bands

dood it's all about Backwoods, the greatest band ever !

"this is gonna be on the new album, commin out in the summer of 09, this is for the sound guy, and hey dad, thanks for comming, the other 2 of you, you rock too, thanks!"

seriously how the fuck do they get shows, so fucking horrible !

Exactly what I was thinking

joe/notcommon said:

I almost want to go to this just so I can call bullshit on his lame story about putting two Brockton cops in the hospital.

july 30th? maybe I'll be there...
but I don't eat pig or cow and I don't pay to get into shows so I don't count.

the_reverend said:

just hire some people to follow you around with big signs pointing down that say "THE REVEREND!" ...you'll be fiiiine

will there be headliners? cus no offense to any of the (good) bands, but there isnt much incentive for people to come so far. the pig/cow roast certainly isnt going to persuade me.

i heard seemless and beyond the embrace...nothing confirmed though

i heard slayor, mettalicka, and Iron Maydon were playing...

SacreligionNLI said:

not really headliners or reasons to go, if those arew the headliners !

yeah i agree, if there are 30+ local bands playing, i sure as hell hope there are at least 10 headliners. beyond the embrace and seemless are pretty midcard status (not to mention not good).

well then give jay however much money it takes to get 10 headliners

SacreligionNLI said:

don't get pissy, just saying...if he expects a good turn out, you need real headliners. i'm not saying Slayer or Iron Maiden but you need someone who you can count to draw people.

last time i checked BTE and Seemless can't even sell out the Living Room or upstairs at the Palladium.

yeah, were not trying to yell at anyone. but this equation seems real simple...

headliners = draw
10 local metal bands + 30 local nu metal bands = people who only came to see their friends' bands

its a fact, you have to spend money to make it.

i wasn't getting pissy or anything...it's just a real pain in the ass to get a bunch of headliners on a fest that's just starting. i think you're kinda jumping the gun though saying 40 local bands can't get a decent draw together...i have a little more faith in local music in that...even if most of the music itself does suck

maybe he has something up his sleeves nobody knows about

all my info is based upon booking my own fests, and going to A LOT of local shows, not to mention i often converse with one of the main bookers in boston (i hear he posts on here). i know jay and im not bashing him at all. but if you want to really attract people that havent heard you, headliners are the key. headliners really arent that hard to get if youve got your shit straight.

SacreligionNLI said:

hope so it'd be nice to see a fest last around here, that wasn't gay for a change !

blue said:

he probably could have gotten them real easily if he wanted early on, but he's investing more into activities and better sound and more food and MORE BEER!

ÜBER BÜMP

Black Harvest and Devil in the Kitchen are going to dominate

us too

this is a muttly lineup though heh

that's what the beer is for!

Shroud of Bereavement will be there also. I'll be there selling some obscure stuff nobody has every heard of. Black Harvest has signed to Oak Knoll and I bet Shroud's Of Ages cd will be released by then thru me I asked Jay to get 3 inches of blood to headline..

are there even going to be headliners?

SacreligionNLI said:

nope just which equals

enjoy !

i agree that there should be at least a couple nationals on this. but hey, if the number of peeps that i heard went last year than, hey i'll be happy.


i guess 300 people showed up last year.

honestly though, i have seen shroud like 500 times. i need a national.

i do hear that black harvest is a good band.

and ditk are pretty cool. metal hoe-down!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

i think the door had more like 400 people last year and everyone thought it was awesome so you gotta figure that they'd get more to come again. not to mention that with the bands alone you're talking another 200+ people

I think I'm out of town then, but I have freinds playing in it (Marching Through Silence) and it's in fucking Bellingham, so I'm going to try and make it anyways.

I think DiTK is playing the sayonara fest not the stoner and steeler

Look at it this way... if your in one of the bands you drink for free and it's a big party so enjoy

large party....everyone should go just to have a good time anyhow...fuck being pretentious

Exactly. Last year there were no headliners, and the official figures according to Jay were 330 paid, and another 180 people were there including bands/crew/staff.

My band members were very skeptical before we played the show, thinking it would be lame, but they both 180'd by the end and said that it was a great time, exactly the kind of show we should play more often. The whole place was an outdoor metal party, great vibes, lots of fun. Most of the time, there was a good band on at least one of the stages, and the food was GREAT.

Even if you only like some of the bands playing, it's worth checking out. If I took myself out of my own band for a moment and put myself in the position of a fan going to see this, I would personally count Suicide Dream, Black Harvest, Shroud of Bereavement, Sacreligion, and Norseth as bands I'd really enjoy seeing.

There are other bands I'd get something out of, too, don't get me wrong (2nd Class has a good drummer, Blackout Frenzy's lead guitarist shreds, Screams of Erida had good solos and a cool bass player when I saw them at this last year, Hypersolid/Skulltoboggan/Antibody/ISL/RRH are all good guys who have been cool to us) -- but even putting all that aside, just five bands I'd really enjoy plus all-you-can-eat pig and cow is a great deal for $15 in my opinion.

he makes a good point ya know

bump!!!!! if yall need tickets please concider getting some through us.

any band really....just go
