Gig Swap Idea?

Postby Seregon-James on Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:09 am

*EDIT*

Looking at a date at the moment, Friday the 6th of March in Bristol City Centre?

Do any out of town bands fancy it? We can pay around £40/50 petrol cash and some sort of grub will be given if we can.

This only works on the basis that the out of town band can setup a show there way for us to come and play with them and get the same in exchange, eg. petrol money and a bit of grub.

We're restrcited to Saturday nights at the moment, we all work full time and have holiday entilement that differs from one to the other.

If you fancy it and can setup a show then message on MySpace http://www.myspace.com/seregonuk us or email james(at)seregon.co.uk


Right, simple idea.

We'll setup a show on our home turf with space for 1 out of town band. A bill on home turf would be:

SEREGON
Out of town band
LOCAL ACT

We'll be able to sort out a bit of grub as well as petrol cash and that's guaranteed.

Now if we can find 2 out of town bands who would be willing to do the same then we've all got 3 shows to add to our upcoming gig list.

NOTE: Our guitarist broke his wrist about 7 weeks ago so we'd be looking to setup a show a good couple of months into the 2009 year.

I'm not interested in bands saying they'll be up for it only if they are paid £x.xx amount, telling you now, not interested!

Just wanna find some bands who are willing to travel, play to a new crowd and get fed and fuel money for the privelidge.

If you feel your a band who can setup a good hometown show and supply a band with some suitable gruel to munch on and pay a good amount of fuel cash then post here.

*EDIT*

I should probably mention that as we all work full time with differing holiday values thet we're limited to weekend gigs at the moment and at a push we could do Fridays, then it's onyl a half day needed to travel far etc.

Main problem is there my love is that as a local band you'd be looking to shift 75-100 tickets minimum to make the gig a success and for us to break even, we average between 200-300 punters a show.

You could setup a show more your way and then you could be considered as one of the out of town bands!

How about you sort us and Heretic a show at the end of April and in return we sort a show in our local areas?

Check our Myspace for the 4 dates, Full thrash assault is the Saturday, Blackburn is Friday so we'd need the Thursday and Heretic could sort the Sunday or the other way around.

Not formally spoke to Martin yet but I know he's up for it!

*edits main post*

I should probably mention that as we all work full time with differing holiday values thet we're limited to weekend gigs and at a push Fridays.

Could look into setting up a show this way around 18th of April? I'' have ot speak with the guys and the venue of course!

I'm sure we'd be up for this idea, we had a blast last time in Bristol and would love to play there with you guys again, hopefully with less band members quitting though ;)

Trouble is that it seems practically impossible for us to get weekend gigs anywhere around here, we still owe you one from last year! (Which I haven't forgotten about..)

So yeah, as good as this would be, we can't commit to it :(

Well a doable show seems to of come to light,

Down Bristol way:

SEREGON
H.O.D
HERETIC
Local Act

Means H.O.D can setup a show Warrington/Mancs way being:

H.O.D
HERETIC
SEREGON
Local Act

And Heretic could do:

HERETIC
SEREGON
H.O.D
Local Act

That way each band plays in different positions for ther respective towns etc.

doable at some time in the new year, means we can all add 3 dates to our upcoming gigs in the new year.

Well our guitarists cast comes off on Tuesday so this will be looking to happen at the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Maybe fill up the saturdays leading up to FTA 2009?
