Hey guys, Mike from Devourment asked me to book a MA date for them on Saturday August 16th. He has his heart set on playing IN Boston, however, I told him that getting a show in Boston, especially for metal is nearly impossible. Allston area would probably be closest....

However, after several attempts at trying to book this on my own and coming up empty handed, I need some help.

I don't want the venue to be in NH. Only MA...and as close to the Boston area as I can. I will accept the North Shore area, and lastly South shore area as a last resort.

Can any of you guys help me find a venue for this?

I have a few bands I plan on asking to play this show...so I'm pretty much all set with bands...just need help with the venue.

Again, your help and expertise is appreciated. Thanks.

BTW, my e-mail is jamesetraynor@yahoo.com


Thanks!

christ, someone help him out

south shore over north shore!

do it where Defeated Sanity played. the sound was nice.

jimmy you are forgetting vital information.

THEY WANT AN ALL AGES VENUE. that is the crux of this whole thing...
and I was under the impression Josh (BSV) was booking this.

good times emporium. they aren't shut down yet

all ages? fuck that.

thats what i said 'dino.

"Saturday "

"IN Boston"

"THEY WANT AN ALL AGES VENUE."

Good fucking luck. Even Allston, Cambridge, or Somerville (all practically Boston) would be ridiculously hard to do.

i mean... i want a Porsche GT3 with a blow job machine in my driveway... that isnt so much to ask for right? its probably more probable than getting an all ages venue in boston on saturday that will allow heavy music.

Jim call me...maybe have a place right outside of Boston

brockton might have a few places. problem is, you might need to put boobie traps around the joint and have sentry guns because brockton is the land of crime nowadays.

isn't the middle east sometimes all ages?

Shitcakes. Devourment.

NOWADAYS?! where have you been the past millenium?

near brockton. and it's getting worse and worse and worse.

dude, I used to work in Brockton. Our work truck got cut off and a bunch of black dudes came out of the car with baseball bats and chains because they thought we owed them dope money.
the guy at owed them it wasn't working that day.

Make it happen bro!

holy shitballs. how about pvd? devourment at club hell would be one of the greatest shows ever.

if all fails, try club hell it's not mass. but people will drive to see this, I know I would

Yeah I don't know why they're being so particular; no matter where the show is, just as long as there's basic promotion, it will be fucking packed.

maybe cambridge elks lodge?

basement show?

Jewski told me this is 90% done and that Malig is on this as well.

Allston is part of Boston. It's in Boston. You must all be from the suburbs or something because you have no idea what you're taking about.

metal kids from the burbs, that could never happen in reality.

haha no shit

HINGHAM IS DA CITY.

If they had a brain the south shore would be their first choice, since that's where the majority of Devourment's MA fanbase lives.

Great scotts is a no go...they were my first choice.


Anyone have a contact number for O'briens? 18+ is probably the best we can do if I don't book it at a VFW

O'briens is way to small for this show and 21+.

CLUB HELL FTW

O'b's just doesnt make sense. you cant fit 6 people and rich horror in there at the same time.

what are palladium prices upstairs (obv)....?

yeah, club hell would be the best possible venue. it's a no brainer.

I'd say booking a hall is the best bet for this. It sucks paying to rent it, but look at this show...goddamn...you'd easily be able to at least break even after all is said and done.

If you guys do find a venue, shoot for 18+ instead of 21+...I NEED to see Devourment.

Mike specifically asked me not to book it in providence or else I would.

that sucks. have you tried the middle east yet? is ralph's still around?

I will ask the new wave in mass. but I don't think the 18+ will float.

I'm pretty sure devourment will sell out all the venue names being thrown out there. THINK OF ME, ALL AGES.

why would you not want to play Providence? Club Hell will be great for this show. Tell them to stop being stupid, and pull up their panties and go to fucking RI. This show would be much better at Hell than half of the other venues being thrown around.

Ralph's is 21+

Yeah, if you're gonna go for a club in Boston Middle East, Church and Great Scott are the only ones worth looking into. A hall would be best for this, though.

I never would have guessed that the hardest part about booking a Devourment show in Mass would be finding the venue.

well considering the major stipulation its not: ALL AGES.

I have the perfect VFW in mind for this...I'm calling them tomorrow morning. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

This show is happening regardless....even if I have to go to jail over it. It will happen.

VIVA JIMMY JUSTICE PENDEJO!!

fingers crossed...

I'm gonna try as hard as I can to keep this all ages.

I remember being 16 and how much it sucked to have to miss shows that were this important.

I'm looking out for everyone here.

Much respect for that!

who else is playing. IM assuming proteus can play this considering all our friends are booking this COUGH COUGH. anyways who gives a fuck where it is,. its devourment its going to sell out

If you're looking at VFWs, try the Beachmont VFW in Revere.

REVEAH

My wonderful home town....

Don't worry Paul, I've been thinking of all you guys.


How cool is the beachmont about shows rusty?

The only thing we could offer them was a matinée show at club he'll. Mike said no. The only real option would be a hall, and since this is a week after NEDF and dysentery will be on tour, I will have nothing to throw into this.

Jimmy, if you do manage to take care of this, please consider dysentery & distorted impalement for this show. We are supposed to be making this show our Boston date for the tour.

Don't worry blue, I'm thinking about dysentery already.


I got this one!

GOREALITY is down!

i will be entirely satisfied with this show if we can get devourment to drift

I realize how big this show is to everyone, and I would like to help every band out and put them on the show, but we all know that can't happen.

I'm gonna try to keep this at 4 locals max with Malignancy and Devourment headlining.

Any more turns into a snore fest.

Sorry in advance to all the bands who won't be able to play!

There will be plenty of drifting Drew!

Tokyo style!

I already tried all these venues weeks ago. I offered a Club Hell matinee (which is the only thing they can do) but they don't want it.
I mailed Jewski about a hall show but he never wrote back. Cambridge elks is pratically a matinee anyways.
I don't know what else to do. Wish Jewski would have at least hit me back.

I wouldn't advise anyone to try for the Cambridge Elks. They got flaky.

I've been prepared to rent a hall outside of Boston but it appears they want nothing to do with that.

whats the charge for devo?

and seriously, basement show, it would be the single greatest thing ever

Don't worry guys. I got everything under control now!

It's gonna happen.

I don't know if you've booked it at a venue yet, but you could try the Revere Beachmont VFW. Place is sweet.

no need to be sorry dude, I know how it is booking shows...I will be at this if it happens for sure.

devourment is weak live nowadays, what are you people arguing about. dont waste your time or money.

I TOLD JOSH FROM SEXCREMENT WE CAN DO THIS SHOW @ CLUB HELL BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A MATINEE SHOW. IF THE BAND IS DOWN I'LL HOOK IT UP... LET ME KNOW. CHRISXXXRI69@AOL.COM

How does everyone feel about having this at Mark's Showplace?

Also, Kenny Lanning told me he could help me get that date there.


LOL!

They're very cool about it, and it's not surrounded by alot (besides 2 T stops within walking distance and the Beachmont School), so you won't have to worry about noise complaints.

anyone try club lido in revere? pretty sure they are all ages.

Agreed. That place would be really good.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Lido will just be doing matinees from now on too. Plus, it's expensive as fuck.

ANY WORD ON THIS?

Devourment = want.

GET THIS MAN A FUCKING VENUE.


(not O'Briens.)

Mission is putting on Shows in Brockton again starting in July. Send him an e-mail and make it clear just how lucrative this show can be. Money talks u skankazz guzzlaz.

Talk to the bassist of Derek of Hivesmasher, see if he could do something at Fox Hall in Lowell. I mean, it would probably be a free show so you'd have to pay the guarantees out of pocket, but if they let it be a paid show then you'd be all set.

By the way, if they end up wanting to do something in NH let me know and I'll get it done asap. Ask them if they can get over it and try getting into NH. Guaranteed I can get something for them within two days.

I've put the word out. I could only get O'Briens/Midway Cafe/Church/Middle East so I'm not much help, unfortunately.

Don't worry guys. I have the venue. Kenny Lanning helped me secure it!



In all seriousness. I have the venue, just have to pay half of it ASAP to secure it.

Due to security reasons, I won't disclose the name until it's all said and done.

Just let it be known, its happening, its all taken care of.

why this is splendid news, will it be all ages or not?

as long as i can stomp around im all set

It's important that Dysentery and Distorted Impalement end up on this, since they already cancelled a gig to be here for the date. Why Malignancy? They're playing here the week before. I was talking to Saprogenic-would be cool if at least a non-regional band that's never been here comes for a one off.

josh has a very valid point - it would be really cool if this didnt turn into NEDF part 2. Please think of the children.

i believe the children are our future.
teach them well and let them...













freebase.

i've been waiting like 10 years for this. i thank you and owe you a cocktail!

any progress?

"MORE FLAKE THAN GENERAL MILLS."

lolz

yeah, why the flying fuck did jimmy tell everyone he had the show booked. only to find out that the show isnt booked and HE IS NOT TELLING ANYONE.

Devourment is a myth.

f'realz? lame.

aug.16th, I can try and work some magic in Saugus. the only problem is I'm broke.

It's nice to know that after all the years of supporting Dysentery that this is the kind of disrespect that I get.

I'm trying to get this show underway. Sorry times are tough and I don't have $10,000 to throw around and book 85 locals and Cannibal Corpse.

Let it be known that ONCE I get this shit straightened out, Dysentery will not be on this and you'll never see me support a Dysentery show again. Trust me. I burn my bridges with gasoline.

Drama much?

You said you had everything taken care of and you didn't. Is it really surprising that they're pissed off?

Jimmy Revenge lol

haha I know. What a homofag. Fuck this show now.

Not having Dysentery on this show is like not having kiddie porn on the internet. It just doesn't make sense.

why have the same band on the same show twice?

dude, you cant be telling me that my concern is not warranted?

i get messages from jewski saying he needs help AGAIN for this show, saying you basically dropped the show it cus you couldnt do the hall. i messaged you almost a week ago asking what was up, you dont get back to me at all. me and josh have been scrambling to find a new venue, and then you pop up all of a sudden saying you have it taken care of again. i dont know what is up and what is down.

jimmy you know i have no problem with you whatsoever, but were down til a month before we go on tour and we dont want gaps in it like this in the schedule. sincere apologies, but i legitimately got the distinct impression that you flaked. which i thought was really weird considering you are not the kind of person to do that.

should we bother getting the new venue squared away, or do you really have it taken care of?

balls

straight from the SMN board as of a couple of days ago...



Posted a bulletin on our myspace, copied and pasted. Not necessary for wise ass comments, just help if you can

Anyone in or around the Boston area that can help Devourment get a show for Saturday August 16 would be greatly fucken appreciated! We need this show set up with us, Malignancy and Sexcrement. Josh from Sexcrement is working on it as well so you can contact him through Sexcrement's page, or me on this page. Any help would be massively appreciated.
Hit me up if you can help out, thanks!
Mike


i replied with:

Dude, Jimmy hasn't done anything? I swear that he said this show was booked on a thread on returntothepit. I sent him a message a couple days ago asking what the venue is etc, but he hasnt gotten back to me.


jewski said:

he hit me up today and said the prospects he had fell through.

Is part of the criteria still that it needs to be all ages? If not I have a place that could accomadate this show. Blue you have my home # give me a shout.

they want a boston area venue.

route 44 in raynham is only 20-25min from boston and/or the boston area. The offer is open. Just trying to help.

plus there's 2 porn stores within a mile. it's a win-win!

from what i gather the show is in fact booked. jimmy i guess had a lot of bullshit venue drama, along with a very busy schedule so he hasnt had a lot of time to take care of this. i apologize for jumping the gun on this.

really, I've lived in this area along time and I only know of the one, which i stopped going into when the gays were caught smoking pole in the back room and the newspaper reporters were there every day! wheres the other one?

OMG WUT? ...
