Well said D. Motor is a business, not a non-profit organization to save techno. When they pay out 10 grand to bring in a big name techno DJ and the club is half empty they eat it HARD. The bottom line is trance/progressive/whatever is big right now in clubs and despite the fact I think it is garbage, the kids who do listen to it love it and are willing to pay to go see it. This event will attract all sorts of people and make some money for the club which is always a good thing. I have no problem having DRQ people there on Saturdays if it helps pay the bills and get the people I do want to see (even if it is once a month). The reality of the club scene in Detroit is that is not easy to make money and keep places open. Look at Temple in Ferndale which went down in flames in record time (i shudder every time I see that EAW system there collecting dust). Dan is a bright person and is fully capably of running his club anyway he sees fit to stay open and he definitely knows the difference between a night for the kids and a night for the adults.

I don't understand why everyone is so surprised to see Motor behind this. Someone mentioned that Motor brings in diverse acts and used the example of booking such acts as Matthew Herbert. Ummm..do you think that just because Herbert is a bit more indie-techno he doesn't cost some MUUULA? PLUS Where ELSE is there to play in Detroit?? There's that hole St.Andrews with the shite sound, or the State Theater (that's as intimate as a football game) or the Detroit Contemp (yeah-sure, that can be afforded) Sure, acts like this might not cause major attendance-but acts still cost MONEY and motor's claw they've clenched into the city makes it VERY difficult for other venues and promoters of quality personality and good intentions (yes an oximoron,but possible) to survive. Motor may loose money on nights like that, but i'm sure they'll be fine. There are just some times when you have to let the silver shirted scary people have the batcave (err..i mean motor). Which is most of the time. (here is where I'll refrain from my speech of the good nights at Motor or how it USED to be) I often refer to Motor as the batcave because it's dark, often scary and holds truths we're probably better off not knowing. --- "(Truth Be Told)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Motor Productions presents- > > DELTA HEAVY > > Sasha & Digweed on tour > > wsg: Jimmy Van M. > > > Truth > > I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for > myself... > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN > Hotmail. > http://www.hotmail.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
