I'm gonna need the two locals to do shorter-than-usual sets and share as much gear as possible. 5 band bills can be a nightmare and I wanna make sure none of the three touring bands get gipped on set time. And if anyone lives around the area that can let Squash Bowels/Ingrowing crash for the night, then you're the man now dog.

I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. that place is evil.

trust me dood, a hardwood floor is better then sleep in a van...plus shower and possible food in the morning. you will be making solid friends if you hole them up for the night.
I really wish I could. I know how it feels to fall asleep multiple nights in a row with a steering column in my hip and my head falling between the seats. It's just that if you knew the size of my apartment, there's no room for anyone else except for me, and my roommates(who share a room as it is). I could fit 1 person on the floor in my room. Literally, that would be it.
I'm not totally worried. Most accomodations are found at the end of the show when everyone is blackout drunk and has kissed their better judgement goodbye.

lol i remember being told some story about how anne had some band sleep in her hallway
Squash Bowels and Ingrowing need somewhere to crash for the night. If you even have floor space for these gents, please get in touch with me. And spread the word about it.
Thanks!

Yo Rich, what time they have to get up?? I have to do some important shit early(around 9am) if this works I might be able to help at least one of the bands) let me know you crazy fuck!!!
If I didn't have to wake up at 5 am for work every day I'd throw the Composted/TYAG space up as an option...unless someone else in the band wants to stay there until they leave, coughDaveMaggotorMSDcough.

I'd assume that they're down with that. The worst case scenario is they find someone else. But I'm sure they'd prefer to get up early then sleep in their rented van somewhere in Allston.
I imagine this'll be in a few newspaper and on the rqadio, I just forwarded this to 91 contacts in radio and newspapers. Also looking at pictures from the December Wolves show way back makes me wish they never changed the stage at O'Briens.
I'm bummed about Hive Smasher, but it does make the show run a little smoother, to be honest. I'll be hooking those dudes up with something rad once they get their whole drummer situation worked out.
It really sucks that I had to bail on this show but it all comes back to my reasons for leaving the band. I was really close to losing my job because of all the time off and shit that comes with gigging. I tried to get someone cover for me for this show but it didn't work out. I'm bummed but didn't really have a choice. Thanks for hooking us up with it Rich.
I can't wait to see Squash Bowels. I love when MDF comes around so I can see all these awesome bands without having to go to MDF ever again! When EC played I did get to see Haemorrhage though, which ruled. All the other bands I wanted to see usually came through, with the exception of Blood Duster this year and Retalliation last year. I would kill to see those bands.
This show is going to be sick. I spent my entire work day yesterday listening to Ingrowing, Squash Bowels and Psytoxia.
There are too many good shows this week. Defeated Sanity last night, Squash Bowels tonight, Parasitic Extirpation on Friday and Disfear on Sunday. Thank christ I got 10 hours of overtime this week to afford all of this shit.
Squash Bowels/Ingrowing got fucked royally last night. Instead of their guarantee Ingrowing was given no money at all and Swuash Bowels was only given $100. So please help these guys out at the merch table or even if you want to toss them a few extra bucks so they can eat and afford gas. And definitely steer clear of Pure Death Promotions from Philly.
This was a fine example of what a failure I am as a promoter.
Thanks to those who showed up.

were on our way home now, playing Albany tomorrow with FID and TDEBN. last day of our macho tour of gore and tacos. we had a fuckin blast at this. glad SB made it and had a good time. so far with all the mdf bands that weve seen i cant wait for that shit. well see all you douch bags there.
brutal #2 and SB were awesome, the people there were quality, so that other q word is irrelevant, mostly, hopefully you didnt lose too much Rich, seemed like everyone went home happy, I smelled like ass, my willy may or may not have reared its ugly head a few times, kudos to everyone for containing themselves and not ravaging me on stage
the pictures look sick so far (save the complete lack of willy...)
screw anyone who didnt come to this show, for the real real
NO ONE is prepared for a well rested Psytoxia on the 6th... NO ONE!!!
This show sucked so bad it apparently doesn't even merit a spot on the front page.

sick tits...big thanks to Rich for helping out the polish dudes..as always it was great catching up with the massholes....totally had a blast...however we were GREATLY disappointed when we showed up at that hotdog place to TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE that Al was talking about...they closed at 1...we arrived at 1:01....next time we're just gonna vomit hotdogs
Me posting about the whole situation with the PA promoter caused a big ruckus over on the SMN board. Hilarious.

PDP in Philly is pretty fucking solid and stand up. I had constant communication with them about everything. Paid up front before we played and Joe bought merch from every single band.
I dunno what to tell you. That was not these fellows' experience.
post by BSV at May 23,2008 2:21pm
I rarely have sympathy for promoters but I do think PDP was thrown under the bus on that one. At the same time everyone is overlooking the simple fact of the matter: Philly fucking sucks.
Both bands had shirts, SB seemed to have all of their releases for sale. Anyone who gets to see SB has my envy. Great band, I wish there was actual grind out this way.
