read this on another message board,



O'Brien's Pub in Allston is indeed going through another transition phase due to a change in Management and Booking.

Matt Nault will be the General Manager and will handle all the manegerial and staffing. Matt has been working at both Great Scott and O'Bs for a couple years now in addtion to playing in a band, so he may already be familiar to some. Tim Philbin (GM of Great Scott) will also be increasing his involvment in the operations of the club.

Carl Lavin (screen name: DS Bruce Robertson) will take over the primary booking responsibility for O'Bs. Shows that are booked will stay booked. I'm meeting with Martin today so that I can get up to speed on what's booked, what's held and which dates need bands. Bands looking to be proactive can email me at booking@greatscottboston.com to make sure that I've got your show on the schedule. **PLEASE put "O'Briens - [date of show]" in the subject line so that it will stand out in my email box**. Emails for future booking opportunities can also be sent to that address, though there will soon be a seperate address.

Ben Sisto (Honeypump/Great Scott) will handle promotion, most pressingly, getting the existing website updated and speeding up the process of the production of the new one. If you have a show booked, cc'ing Ben (ben@honeypump.net) on the email to me would likely save a step and help the process along. Including your band's website/myspace profile would be helpful as well.

Martin Doyle was presented a very difficult situation, as would have anyone who stepped in at the time he did, and he juggled a ton of responsibilities in chaotic circumstances. Martin will still be putting shows together at both O'B's and GS and presumably other clubs as an independent promoter for a while. Martin gave me and The Plan its first dates back in February of 2003 at the Hideaway and I'm always going to be personally appreciative that we've had the chance to work together. I'm very excited about the prospects of his being able to kick a lot of ass in the role he's best suited for... putting on great rock shows and helping make Boston a cooler place to live.

Thank you all for your interest in the goings on. We're hopeful you'll all continue to consider O'Brien's when evaluating your entertainment options.

Regards,
Matt, Tim, Carl, Ben

this frightens me.

So wait, what? Oh ok, what? Sure.

KEKEKEKEKEKEK ^.^

bah fuck it, I give up.


no one cares about ethics anymore.

Yeah, straight from the horse's mouth.

Dammit, why did you edit out all of your earlier idiocy, Nick? It's funny to watch you pretend to know what you're talking about.

you're part of the problem

That's too bad about Martin. He was cool. He was never scared to book my bands.

Joe, are you gonna confirm the 25th with the new guy or do you want me to?

Hey, hey, hey!!! Don't go talking to Nick that way. Nick fucking rules, as you can tell by screen name. In fact, he is my hero. I'm into extreme music. He's into extreme music. I have really nice hair. He has really nice hair. I like to rape women. He likes to rape women. I have an excellent fashion sense. He has an excellent fashion sense.

Nick rules!!!

I love when people are blatantly trying to impress their friends.

Are members of BHP patting you on the back as we speak?

Are they finally going to hire someone who doesn't lose the fucking keys on the night of a show, show up late, then leave the bands and patrons standing outside freezing for a hour just to finally show up again and not do anything?

josh, if that show is not double booked can hirudinea still play?

BHP=Honeypump?

Yep, booking bands I like and putting out awesome metal on CD and vinyl is RUINING THE SCENE!!!!!!

do tell, do tell!!! said:

Well, there's a question as to whether it's "someone" or "someoneS". It's confirmed that this stupid emo kid did force himself on a certain crust chick from Providence... His problem with Ben Sisto of Honeypump is cause Ben won't drop the fact that Nick also insisted on masturbating in front of one of Ben's friends after she turned him down for sex. There are rumors that his history of sexual assault and inappropriate, misogynistic behavior goes back further than these 2 incidences.

Hell, THE TASTE OF SILVER is more of a Rape Rock band than THE MENTORS, apparently!

You need to cool it with the Metal. You don't want to scare awy all the hipsters.

Who was it that punched Kamil's, ex phantom limb, mom in the face after trying to get into her car? I forget.

Hahahaha...

I'd never hit a woman that didn't pull my hair first!

PS - How bout revealing your identity, wimp? Or are you afraid of getting punched too?

damn, does this mean i have to hand over my sexist crown

BestialOnslaught said:

I would much rather be remembered as "that guy who used to be in that shitty band" than as what Nick is going to be remembered for.

BestialOnslaught said:

bahahaha! alex rules.

Yup, I heard about this. Already been in touch with the new management concerning a few things, like our show tomorrow, oh, and the one the Easter Bloodhounds had booked with us and you guys, Badsneakers.
