Ska Mutiny gig?

I'm not sure if you're talking about soundguy or promoter here so I'm just gonna have to be general..

A good few of our gigs there were not that full at all, the promoter lost money on us a couple of times and still rebooked us and always looked after us, and still continues booking us to this day, even stepped in to take on one of our gig last minute last month as a favour. And we're not a big band, he's just a good guy. We never really really rammed out or sold out the Charlotte or anything, and we were never treated badly, pretty much always left having had a good night.

Also, the soundguy was always nice at the end, even on the emptiest nights he'd always come up and say he enjoyed it. Not that I'm saying he'd enjoy every band, maybe we got lucky, but he's one of the few soundguys I've noticed actually doing sound while we played.

Either way, it's still moronic to welcome the closing of a good venue.

Haha I don't remember! I think it was, won't have been anywhere else then

You don't remember going to an rnb club? That was a weird night.

Actually, I remember the night, we went to Sally Annes house I think, and you guys went to the gay club

Ahh lame. I guess it was me, Mike TV and probably Matt then? That RNB club was bizarre.

That does sound like a good idea. Bands/promoters here could put on bands in their hometown, could do it 50/50 with local-ish bands and touring bands.
I still recon we do an all-dayer around Christmas time somewhere central with a semi-big headliner like Random Hand.

However, what would make these gigs Ska Mutiny gigs and not just normal ska gigs?

well it'd basically be 2 bigger bands reppin ska mutiny over the uk and brand it as a ska mutiny tour liek. it's basically just a joint tour like the tour of death was and as many as possible of the local bands at the gigs will be affiliated with the site (like for example the lesta gig could be 2 touring bands, my band theMangoMafia, Phase4 and Last Edition who all have representatives on the forum)

That would be a good idea. If the touring bands were not too expensive then I'd put on a Blackpool show.

I didn't hear Skamutiny mentioned once on the Tour of Death.

i could probably get the venue to pay towards the touring band if the bands themselves rang the venue then mentioned i said i'd manage the local acts.

ska mutiny was on the flyers for the tour of death, the flyers for leicester anyway (not that many people saw them). but i mean, even if we only get 10 new members on the forum from the whole tour it doesn't matter cus it'd bring a network of bands together, there'd be good times and it'd be just like any other tour just with a ska mutiny banner

We saved it for bedtimes.

The website was on the posters.
