Not too long ago, Burial played Pearl Street in Northampton and no one stayed for us or the 2 or 3 bands preceeding us. I can definitely understand not wanting to sit through a bunch of bands after driving for hours and all that shit, but someone (I really don't remember who) in one of the bands that regularly posts here was wanting to be booked at Fat Cats. Maybe if some of the people in these bands stayed, and then hung out or whatever, I could've pointed them in the right direction for getting a show there. With the exception of xmikex, I don't know why my band has pissed people off. I'd rather it be that they hate us than some bullshit third hand rumor.

Also, someone had a good point about "hall" shows. They fuckin' suck. Don't get me wrong, I know it's the only option when you don't have regular clubs who are open to booking metal, but the hall shows always end up sucking! Has anyone here ever been to a hall show that was packed, standing room only? I never have. If there are no clubs around you, go to where they are, even if it means leaving the state. We hardly play any shows in Mass. anymore and not just because everyone hates us for not being metalcore either. People like metal more in other areas. You have to pay some cash for rental vans and hotels and shit, but if you want to play some great shows---leave Massachusetts.
