TOPIC: Opening Band Needed
Posted  Wednesday, February 6, 2002 at 8:00 AM
Post 1 of 31
Hello all.
I am looking for an opening band to play one of those afternoon shows at the boro this Thursday(2/7). The time slot would be about 5:45-6:45. I know the time is terrible but at least it's a chance to play. Let me know if you're interested.

l just drew stares in the computer lab cause i was laughing my ass off at that last one, jamie.

In all seriousness, (seriously) you would probably have trouble finding all members of Moneypenny awake/able to play at 5:45 pm.

by the way, i think this matinee music thing at the boro is a good idea. it helps to sift through the shitty bands so i don't have to sit through them at night.

I think that a matinee at the Boro could be interesting.  I know that if I was in a band with not much live experience, that would be a safe, rather terror-free way to start.  But I've gotta ask - is anyone *at* the Boro at 5:45pm, and if they are, don't they want to watch Sportscenter or something?

I'm afraid to see the Boro in the daylight. In the dark, I can fool myself into believing that it's not a dirty garage.
grass stains, airplanes, anything and everything

i like the boro better than most venues. the matinee thing is a good idea becuz like for mentioned it sifts through shitty bands and gives bands a chance to gain more live experience. besides the boro is trying to attract more business by that becuz no is at the boro during the day. whats the point of being open when there is no business?
We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!

come to think of it, the only people i've ever graced the boro doors with at 5:45 are the money penny lads. three words-fifty cent drafts.

Hey Eno, maybe you should actually listen to the bands before you call them irrelevant.

my top five most easily forgettable jobs.
1. walgreens photo lab
2. hosting at don pablo's
3. being in a band
4. drinking
5. djing at deja-vu. 'hey guys....give it up for...crystal...'
    start 'cherry pie' by warrant.

as an interseting side note, in new orelean, i asked a dj at one of these burlesque houses how much it would cost to get a girl to dance to 'sister ray.'  got him down to fifity bucks. if only i had my copy of white light/white heat down there with me.

I used to be management at the great blakeford, how could working for a 17 year old highschooler be so easily forgotten. I thought I was a big enough asshole to be remembered.

deevol,

lawnwrangler never worked under you. You were shift leader until August 97. JC did not work at the Blakeford until after that.

Ah yes, that's right. We did work A.L. together though. Now I know why it's easily forgetable, that sucked.
