the shittiest part of this show is big shovel of BULLSHIT the promoters feed you saying how much its gonna help your band, it's gonna do shit because most people who listen to WAAF are meatheads... They want to show up and see their new favorite nu metal band that WAAF constantly plays and thats it.

If promoters REALLY want to help local bands heres what you can do:

1. When headliners come through and need local openers get bands that actually FIT WITH THE HEADLINER. If a death metal band comes through why are a chunk of their local openers metalcore or nu metal bands?! Oh yea cause the promoter just gives a shit about who agrees to sell tickets first, not for putting on the best show possible.

2. Do not FORCE bands to sell tickets to play your show, thats fuckin rubbish. Keep the money at the door if you want and give bands tix to sell for an OPTIONAL profit, thats pretty fair I would say. A majority of bands around here know how to spread the word and get the show out to people... Plus what exactly is the job of a promoter?! Oh yea, to promote.

3. Give new bands the chance. I know every show needs bands that can draw, but every band has to start from scratch at some point. You want to prove your worth to helping local bands, throw a new band on the middle of a show so people can actually hear them.

4. Shut down this loco-bullshit show.
