New site? Maybe some day.

I just got this from Anderson. This shit is fucking weak.
----
I was looking forward to having you set up more shows
at Skybar...but I recently found out we're losing the
bar.
Not because of finances or low attendance, mind you
(I'm told I brought up attendance by 72% since last
October when I took over) but because someone called
the Somerville Fire Dept. and reported us for not
having a $30,000 "Rhode Island style" sprinkler
system. So yeah, they're shutting us down...possibly
as soon as JULY 15th. The owner doesn't have the $ to
renovate, which is going to leave me and all my staff
out of work. I'm scrambling to find another venue to
book so my sorry arse can stay off of disability. All
I wanted to do was help local New England artists and
it seems even that dream is being taken from me, too.
Matthew and I are trying to figure out our next step.
If you have any leads, or know of any clubs that want
professionalism, promotion, great music, and someone
who is ethical and honest, feel free to put them in
contact with me.
Thanks, and I look forward to working with you in the
future. |

Yeah, because 70% of Boston's metal shows have been happening here since January. This is fucking gaysauce. |
|
not having a $30,000 "Rhode Island style" sprinkler
system. |
The same reason Area Venue got shut down.
|
|
that fucking sucks. i've only been to the skybar 2 or 3 times, but it was an awesome venue. |
|
'I'm a little whiiiiiiite boy with a big ol' blaaaaaaaaaaack voice' |

|

Hah - some dude whose dad works for Necco brought boxes of Necco wafers and Sky Bars to work, today. I've eaten so many of those damn things, it's disgusting. |
|
damn that is wicked gay that they have to close down. but in all honesty, fire safety is obv very important and we wouldn't want one of our shows to go the way of that great white BS in RI.
it def sucks, but it is the owner's responsibility to provide a safe environment for bands to play - not sure how unsafe it was, i have never been. hopefully they can get their shit squared away as i believe we had two shows coming up there. |
|
that blows....i played my first show at the skybar |
|
I thought this was a vicious rumor? |
|
Yeah, thank fuck there's one less place to have shows at. |
|
serious, all we need with all the bands there are now are more places for the bands to play. |
|
Didn't this surface like a month ago? And it was dispelled then? Or is this something new and just plain suckage? |

as long as the place isn't made of foam and there are no pyrotechnics it shouldn't be a huge concern
|
|
If I remember correctly an entire wall in the Skybar is made up of windows. There is also several objects which can be thrown at those windows in the event of an emergency that will require a life saving mass exodus.
There. There is your fire safety plan Boston.
[sigh] |
|
fucking Skynet.
Seriously though, this fucking sucks something fierce. Hopefully they don't close down before our show July 6th. |
|
This absolutely blows.

that should be the way, but the place could be solid concrete and steel and they would still make a big deal out of it. |
|
wow, this is seriously bumming news |
|
At least I had the oppertunity to play there once. |
|
It was probably one of the locals who live around there who was pissed about having loud bands there. I hate Somerville. |
|
Guess those "vicious rumors" were true. |
|
pam, I already said that. |
|
All there shows were 21+
Fuck 'em
|
|
pfff, like I read what you post. |

Get older. |
|
Get older? How about play shows that anyone can get into. Shows without kids aren't any fun. |
|
In the old people's defense, lamp, most show-related drama that goes down is by the 16-20 year old younger crowd (perticularly hardcore) and they ruin it for everyone. |
|
will the shows for june still be going on? |
|
sky bar will always be our first home! |
|
i think we've all moved on by down |
|
Forget the Station night club fire, the firefighters are the ones to blame here! Fuck heroes!
Skybar is a dive bar and that's why they cannot afford the sprinkler upgrades. Who gives a shit about that fag bar and darksky productions....even though they run "11% of the boston underground scene"... |
|
ya when i was in there i didn't even notice ANY sprinklers! |
|
When I was there, Darksky didn't pay us dick. Instead, they gave us a tally sheet in the form of a restaurant's menu that outlined their prices for "live recordings, pictures, etc..." Damn the Rev for free pictures!!! What a cheap bastard! |
|
lol when we just played there (first time) we got $45 to split 4 ways... looks you gat foocked! |

Yeah well, this is why I don't talk to people at shows. Or ever. |
|
yeah man sounds like you are missing out on the scene ass bro |
|

I guess so huh. I don't give a shit about $$ I just hope that at least one of us got (at the very LEAST) offered a blow job. |
|
lawlz... yeah, speaking of... there was some busted AZN talking to my guitarist tom... but she was booooosted... so no AZN action... sorry to disappoint.... even for me and my standards have sunk recently..... you know if this AZN was hot I would have been all over it like white on rice lol.... |
