The Problem with playing a venue like fabric is the people on the dance floor would problem tell you they don't like techno even when there dancing to it. Its that type of crowd. There not there for the music, they seem to be more into fighting and taking drugs.
The reason I think it's a shame is other promoters would love the chance to put them on but don't get the opportunity. I think Fabric was a bad move for them in London. Although I did really enjoyed the gig. You think they may have been unlucky with some of their slots of late, its there call and it seems they not be doing there home work that well. LH at glade is a silly move for starters, hence they played to hardly any one. And just so you know, I think there great and Im not having a go, it could just be a lot better. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Dust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 July 2006 13:23 To: Robert Taylor Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) did anyone go to... > > > It's a shame that UR seem to want to only play festivals and venues > like > Fabric in the UK. Its not working obviously. I think it's a brave move and probably a good way to present Techno, especially in the USA - where people are more accepting of the "band" format, this is something that Dan Sicko hinted at in his book and seems to me like the next logical step to, at the very least, making a difference. They may have been unlucky with some of their slots of late but then again who here hasn't at one time or another played to an empty room or been in one! > When LH played in London > the other week there was a fight at the front just before they came > on, if these are the people UR really want to play to then I'm > shocked. This is way beyond their control and you can't really level this as an argument at them I believe. > > I tried to book them last year or the year before ( I cant remember > 100%) when the Leeds gig fell apart but Banks just didn't want to know > about a London gig. Shame coz I had a wicked venue lined up. It is a shame but if he doesn't want to do something, that's his call really. > I think UR have the wrong impression of the UK crowd and feel they can > only play to these audience, which is not the case. How so, they played all different kinds of venues across Europe and the UK, so I'd say that this isn't the case. m
