just was talking to the promoter for the New England Goth/Punk/Metal fest that's happening at Spinner Park in Lowell, MA the first weekend of october and he's still accepting applicants and setting up audition shows (which are held saturday afternoons at Reflections in Chelmsford, MA).

the website for the fest is http://www.nepgmfest.com

you can reach Matt, the promoter, to get more details, set up an audition show, etc at admin@nepgmfest.com

and yes, we are playing the festival in october.

lol goth

audition? who auditions for anything now-a-days...

this fest looks pretty dumb

My guess is the people putting this together are new at booking shows, everyone's first idea is a fest, and it becomes all or mostly all local acts (I had the More Force Fest).

They never work out well, unfortunately.

the point of the audition shows is to make sure the bands playing the fest are quality acts.

nationals are being worked out currently.

in that case, i take back what i said

we are SO gonna be famous...GOTH is where its at!..and...clove cigarettes too.

Obviously the audition process has so far yielded the best Mass. has to offer!

we aren't confirmed on that fest yet. we need to see who the headliners are before we commit. the tickets are expensive and we aren't going to charge our friends or anyone else who would support us all that money if there isn't a quality headliner.

so they didnt wipe out AIDS?

who wants to start a motivated goth band? anyone?

Goth and motivated...Now to me that seems to be an oxymoron

or perhaps posi-goth?
