Boo Hoo Hoo i mite just have to start crying considering The Misled Heroes have 0 votes.
To Be Honest i dont think there should be a vote with about 7 ppl taking part to determin who gets these gigs. why not just do things properly and pick bands because of demos, or live reputations etc etc not a daft little poll on an internet site no really knows about where people are just voting for thier own bands or their best mates'. I think without the poll invert should get top spot cos they have been around with years and played some really good gigs.
That punk band from redcar sound canny they should get a gig aswell. Do metus even have any recordings?

Kevin

Would you not think we should have votes because...you didn't get any?

And Metus don't have any recordings yet. Though we are about to do some soon.

No sowden,
actually that isnt the reason, i just think it is a bad idea generally. if tony was really gunna go stop invert from playing a gig because metus got 4 votes and they only got 3 it would be ridiculas. this method doesnt take into consideation the talent, ability, live reputation and experience of a band which if i was a promotor i would be wanting to book bands based on these things, not how many of thier freinds can vote for them on a forum.
If we wanted people to vote for us we would act like it, maybe put a notice on our myspace or post a blog thing, but i just dont agree with tonys methods and im sure killing eden agree with me, why do you think they arnt in the list.
All we would have to do is get all 4 of our band members to vote and we would be joint top. its not exactly tip top is it.

I understand where you are coming from, but what about bands who haven't had a chance to play live or record. Does this mean they shouldn't be let to play?

[ZoSo]

we did get asked to be put on this poll, to which i said no because its degrading and pointless, why should bands have to be put up against each other and get their mates to vote for them, it doesnt show what the band is does it? if anything the bands who havent played a gig yet should maybe play a gig elsewhere, so the promoter can see what you are like before you start playing more upscale venues such as the studio.

[Kevin]

Hey,
I agree with joel, new bands have to start of at the bottom of the ladder and work thier way up to actuall venues such as the studio by getting a reputation not having 4 ppl vote for them on a forum with around 18 members in total. unless the promotor hears a demo and thinks you have what it takes to play a venue like the studio oppose to an excuse for a venue IE abbey street.
i dont think new bands should be expecting to play the studio for their first gig especially when they havent even got a demo there is the odd exception killing eden played the studio for thier first gig but they had previosuly earned a reputation as AOJ and The Misled Heroes, we played our first 'propper' gig at the studio but we had showed the organiser we were good enough when he seen us at a showcase gig at martyrs school where we played 2 songs. But theres ways round it. Sowden, if metus want to persuade tony you guys are good enough to play the studio but havent been able to record a demo why not invite him along to a practise and show him what your made of.
If you impress him then surely he will give you a gig at the studio and most of all youl have earned by showing you have the ability to play it, not that you can get 5 of your mates to vote for you on a forum.
