i'm pretty sure you could make quite a bit of money on a show headlined by Cylob. Why is it the current trend to slag off idm shows and say people won't come out to see them? that's total bullshit. it's all based on how it's promoted. if you promote a show like it's going to be a bunch of dorky boys bobbing their heads, then who the fuck cares. but if you book a show like it's a dance party than people of both sexes will come out to see the music and dance. on the rephlex tour in portland cylob and co. rocked a sold out show. i don't think it's the people who won't come, it's morons who can't promote a show to save their lives. c. -- ********* Toast and Jam Recordings www.tandjrec.com ********* --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
