I'm afraid I beg to differ. This album was the most eagerly anticipated within this genre and is very necessary! I haven't stopped listening to it since I got it! Their music has progressed into something rather immense and I'm sure many people will agree that it's quite an overwhelming experience even if it's not their cup of tea. Who could have thought four could produce such a sound!

PS. You should have seen them in London last week ;)

When I saw them with MMISL, I did make a mess! ;) What a night that was!

...was at that Arena gig! Taproot sound was rubbish!

Right everybody, the discussion (turned into argument) on that subject got way too out of hand and was never supposed to happen! However, I'd just like to make it clear that all issues between us, the bands and Mark have been resolved now. We look forward to successful shows at The (new and improved) Macbeth in the near future. That's all folks!

I beg to differ. And for what it's worth he IS a prolific canceller of gigs. Justify that.

"i believe he deserves empathy like anyone else."

Even if he did pull out of Saturday's show in the end.

Fine if you want to bring everyone else into it. The question that I asked Sonia (off the boards and away from the public) was:

"The point in putting on less well known bands is so that they have a chance to attract new fans. Just out of curiosity, what is YOUR view on this? Put yourself in the Macbeth's shoes, what would you do?"

To which you haven't actually answered may I add so I assume that you would follow suit, in other words you would choose money over real (new) talent. In that case everyone who has expressed their anger on here has rightly done so.

I'm sorry but what was the point in that? The only reason I ask is because I was just curious at what you would personally do in such a situation. I don't know but maybe I'll be able to learn something from it? Yes I admit I was rather annoyed at your comments but I'm sure you understand why now since you have discovered my part in this.

I too have suffered from bad experience with such related issues and do not wish for others to go through the same if not worse. If you have read over my posts, then you will notice that I have not said anything that remotely qualifies as 'assassinating the venue manager' (or anyone for that matter). All I did was merely state that the incident was beyond our control this time and was due to a venue fault, which I'm sure you'll agree is clearly the truth on this occasion whatever the reasons behind it.

Yes, we too hoped it was the first and last time that such an event would happen, however we have also been informed that a gig due to take place there next week has had to be cancelled because of the very same problem. Interpret that how you will.

pipppp: "yeah i play in silentfront we're aparently unheard of"

Songs that last OVER 2 minutes?! Looking forward to checking this out yeah!

I'm sorry to hear you've had bad luck in the past but from what I've seen if you 'network' with the right people to start with, the chances are you'll soon learn who you can or cannot trust. However, the incident here clearly happened due to the owners so please don't go promoter-bashing, least not this time.

"from my exsperience the only promoters that have ever tried to fuck us over properly are the ones who offer us a contrat for a show"

Umm yeah sorry, lesson learnt there!

Well done Paul, that needed to be clarified!

This to me has nothing to do with Pete Doherty. Like I said before this was only news that was added onto the original story later on. I'm not sure what went on behind our backs and I hate 'internet attacks' on people but I know that it was a fault of either or both Macbeth owners (as in previous and current). Incidentally, none of us could get hold of the previous owner so it will remain a mystery.

As regards to the Concentration Champ/Silent Front 7" release party, keep your eyes peeled for a rescheduled date / relocation.

I heard that Doherty pulled out on Saturday.

"i'm sure DiS readers would not be displaying such outrage had it been a last minute patrick wolf / blood brothers / shins booking."

I still think it would be wrong and I'm sure there are others out there who would agree on principle. To be honest, a lot of people were already quite annoyed even before they knew who was playing instead.

That is the one.

What an impact this had made! I would have been even more chuffed if it actually happened (and made the news too)! xxx
