This is in reference to club booking agents. Not promotors cause there's a different mentality. Anyway.

Any booking agent that will book you withing one email and a listen to an mp3 is a bad booking agent.

Any booking agent that will book your band with one phone call without ever hearing your band is the worst booking agent on earth. These shows are the worst becuase you have no idea what your in for. Could be anything. Beware.

JoJo Dancer booked my band before we even formed.

this is why jarrods will suck forever.

And the fact that it's in Attleboro doesn't help either.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 28,2003 10:36am
it would be worse if it were in attleborough

Spelling is meaningless in this little game.



toggletoggle post by xmikex at Jul 28,2003 10:52am
both spellings are acceptable.

id say it depends on the club
o'briens and the chopping block dont care who plays there, as long as people are drinking.
it makes sense for bills bar and the middle east to be more strict though

Joe from Not Common doesn't care who the hell plays his shows, as long as they bring loads of downers with them.



toggletoggle post by joe/notcommon   at Jul 28,2003 10:55am
hey gotta do what you gotta do
i also like middle eastern women now
who knew?

True however Jo Jo is a promoter. Not a booking agent. This is about club booking agents.



toggletoggle post by Beakey   at Jul 28,2003 3:29pm
JoJo is all of the above. He's got the music industry by the balls.



toggletoggle post by WhyamIandasshole   at Jul 28,2003 5:03pm
He's what we call in the business "A Triple Threat"



toggletoggle post by Beakey   at Jul 28,2003 5:11pm
He's a booking agent, he's a promoter, he's an evil record company executive, and most importantly, he's the guy that fucked up the upper control arm in your Dodge utility van.

THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!

so where does el doch ay and jimmy fall into this picture cause they gave me the run around,i still have no idea what neutron has to do with booking a fucking show has to do with anything!!!!!!!!!!!!



toggletoggle post by Beakey   at Jul 29,2003 8:45am
El Duce is just the guy that screens calls for Jimmy and gets the information for him. El Duce's not a bad guy, judging from the two times I've talked to him, but Jimmy is the king of the runaround.
That's just the way he gets, so I'm sorry if referring you to him just ended up being a pain in the ass.
Joe from Not Common knows Jimmy a little better and he said that he'd make sure to get you on the show, no matter what.

toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 29,2003 3:58pm
as well you should, they are awesome.
beaky, I know you are in disengaged.

maybe I should start a band called engaged.
and then we could do a split-CD
oh.. wait, I have no talent.



toggletoggle post by Beakey   at Jul 29,2003 3:59pm
Rev, Dyingmuse asked what band I was in, that's why I said it.

Do half-assed beat- boxing over blips and tweets from your Game Boy.



toggletoggle post by DeathMetalPriestess   at Jul 29,2003 4:16pm
