I just don't want the bands from the current boston 'scene' to get so overlooked in other areas of new england. All of them have made it clear on this board that they want to play other areas, but there was no Prophetless Productions or whatever in manchester or other cities for them to talk to and send stuff to. It has nothing to do with bands being lazy. Alot of bands are not in the position to return favors either, they just want to play and have fun doing it. If they travel far, I am sure they would appreciate gas money or more if it's there, but if not I am sure alot of them would still play to build themselves a fan base and sell merch to kids. I think they would prefer to play with bands they fit with, for instance that Reading show, I doubt anyone will like Ascendancy there. In my opinion there is more to shows then just booking bands, for me I book bands I like , but also that fit together and I decide an order that flows the best in my head. Sometimes I am wrong, but usually I do a good job I think. I don't think 5 death metal bands is a good idea necesarilly, it could get boring. Same with 4-5 of the same anything, grind, doom whatever. If the bands are interesting enough or varied but the show flows well then it's a success. Drawing people to a show is only one concern I have, if there are 4 bands who each draw their own crowd, but it's so out there that no bands crowd likes the other bands then the show is a failure in my opinion. This is just touching the ice berg, I put alot of thought into line ups and orders on shows. I know Anne knows what I am saying, as does Brian Morse. I have talked with both of them about it. I would like to see more promoters come around in other areas who see eye to eye with me, that would be ideal. Who knows if it will happen, the bomb shelter obviously doesnt give a shit and most promoters just throw shows together that make no sense to me. But obviously thats just my opinion and it might mean absolutely nothing to everyone else and there is nothing I can do about that.
