Metal Brothers Booking in NY folds[views:2363][posts:7]_________________________________________________ [Mar 23,2006 7:48pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] HELLO ALL, DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, ALL SHOWS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED, AND METAL BROTHERS PRODUCTIONS HAS NOW FOLDED. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE VENUES THAT CANNOT DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT SHOWS OR NOT, OR A VENUE THAT GETS JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING A LITTLE SOMETHING, THEN THERE IS NO SUPPORT ON THEIR END. EVERYBODY SAYS WE ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, BUT I WOULD SAY BOOKING A DATE BACK 3-4 MONTHS IN ADVANCE, THEN CANCELLING IT ANYWHERE FROM A WEEK TO DAYS BEFORE THE SHOW BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, NOT TO MENTION THEY LOOK AT THE SHOW AND GET SCARED IS UNPROFESSIONAL. WE WERE GIVING SO MANY BULLSHIT EXCUSES, THE ONE BEING THAT WE COULD NOT GUARANTEE A CROWD OF 500 THROUGH THE DOOR. LAST TIME I CHECKED YOU COULD NOT GUARANTEE A CROWD FOR ANYTHING. THAT IS LIKE SAYING BECAUSE A MOVIE THEATRE SHOWS A FILM, AND ONLY 10 PEOPLE GO TO SEE IT, THE THEATRE CANCELLING THE MOVIE. AINT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE EXCELLENT, COOL BANDS WE HAVE BOOKED LIKE WASTEFORM,INCANTATION,ESTUARY,IMMOLATION, AND THE LIST GOES ON. YOU WERE ALL TRULY PHENOMINAL, AND WE WILL STAY IN TOUCH BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE HEADS ON YOUR SHOULDERS. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE FEW LOYAL FANS AND LOCAL ACTS WHO SUPPORTED OUR SHOWS THROUGH THICK AND THIN. YOU TRULY ARE METALHEADS. AGAIN, WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED, BUT I DO NOT THINK YOU ARE HALF AS DISAPPOINTED AS US. THANK YOU, THE FORMER METAL BROTHERS PRODUCTIONS |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 24,2006 12:14am - Joe/NotCommon ""] They cancelled the Sin of Angels show that was scheduled this saturday, well rather the venue cancelled it on them. Too bad, Gary seemed like a cool cat. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 25,2006 9:53am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Gary from Metal Bros productions has not emailed me back when I asked about more info on why you guys had been knocked off the show. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 25,2006 11:14am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Something fucked up is going on regarding the show tonight Sin of Angels was suppose to play. We were told the club wouldn't let Sin of Angels play, but now that doesn't seem to be the case but they still aren't going because we have no idea what is really going on. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 25,2006 1:59pm - the rooster ""] reading that paragraph made me stupid. the way that shit is written pretty much sums up the way shows were run in utica, ny. most unorganized shit we were ever a part of. i hear it got a little better over time, but i wouldn't know, cause once was enough for us. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 25,2006 2:50pm - Kinslayer ""] They booked our NY show for the Kult ov Azazel tour this summer and provided us with food and tons of free drugs so...I support them although they are clearly inbred, idiot hicks... That town reminded me of Gummo. |
