Pretty sure I saw a video of Spiro off his face blubbering and crying about it being the last EC last year

Funny as

EC is the John Farnem of dance festivals ( no disrespect to John )

i have been stage manager a few years now, not the last two though.

I set my price for spiz this year at $1k per day, with upfront payment.

I am waiting to hear back.

Maybe with the money made off this festival he can finally pay all the people he's fleeced over the years. But I doubt it.

Spiro = Criminal.

Dont ever forget this people AND if you are one of the people playing this year, dont count on getting paid and just enjoy your free ticket and you'll be right.

yea no problems... are you playing? I'll be lurking around the dancefloor when Robert Leiner is playing and when PunkzonJunk are on, those 2 are for sure. It's been nearly 8 years since i've heard Leiner play and back then it was some wicked twisted Belgium style techno, erratic and brooding. Maybe it was the lsd but i doubt it.

Return to the source... So many acts, so little time though. hahaha!

out of interest is their name some sort of reference to waiting around in nightclubs till the most desperate

bassfreak · Post by **bassfreak** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:20 pm

So did you get paid WRE? I guess you never expected to get paid

This is from inthemix:

"...in the last 24 hours, spiro boursine (the organiser of earthcore), sent an email out to the (now cancelled) international artists, informing them that he would only pay them a fraction of the original amount that was agreed in the contract. many of the artists have already paid for their flights internationally to get to australia and are already here. two of the artists i know from israel (from first hand account) were absolutely shocked and outraged, and replied to spiro/earthcore demanding an explanation, and requesting that he pay the full amount originally agreed. spiro/earthcore responded by THREATENING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ANY ARTISTS WHO DO NOT TURN UP TO THE EVENT (even with his absurd, ridiculous demand of lower rates). obviously this is completely disgraceful.

this party was planned to be spiro/earthcore’s last event, and most of the tickets have already been sold. by cancelling half of the international acts, he will get a VERY large income, with much lower expenses, and he will not have to worry about the fallout from any future parties, because there won’t be any. the end result is spiro/earthcore will walk away with a very big pocket full of a lot of cash. this is plainly and simply, a SCAM. It’s a huge scam with honest punters money. he is ripping people off intentionally for his own profit.

anybody who is part of the industry in australia knows that this type of behaviour IS VERY COMMON PRACTICE FROM SPIRO BOURSINE OF EARTHCORE. he very rarely pays artists or djs. when he doesn’t get what he wants (even when its completely unreasonable) he threatens promoters, artists and media with legal action. he is a disgusting human being. other promoters and those in the industry are frustrated to see year after year spiro/earthcore keeps hurting people, but new unknowing punters keep buying tickets. many people try to publish these horrible facts about spiro/earthcore on internet websites and news channels but spiro/earthcore threatens legal action and demands that these facts be removed. (you will witness this fact with your own eyes when this post is removed from the site. it will be removed from the site because spiro/earthcore will make legal threats of defamation against this site, who will have no option but to remove the post or pay tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees)
i can only hope that finally, punters will see first hand how immoral and unethical spiro/earthcore is. i hope that this appalling behaviour and completely unprofessional, unethical, and unjust actions will show everyone once and for all, the REAL earthcore.

i boycot all of earthcores parties, i urge punters to not let earthcore rip you off any further. protest the only way we can, by not going to his events. protect our community by spreading the truth."

I have copied this post from another thread, just in case people didn't see it. I don't know who wrote this but I do know that what he is saying is the truth. I do not understand why so many people are just ignoring the facts and pretending like everything is fine with Earthcore. I have been witness to some of Spiro's bizarre behaviours. He has threatened friends of mine and has had AVO's taken out against him. He owes a lot of people a lot of money from previous earthcores. He has gone bankrupt and then reinvented himself using Phoenix companies.

Sphongle are no longer coming out in March as planned. They have postponed until June. The money from the ticket sales is being used to prop up the Carnival this weekend. I have reason to believe that the toilet facilities will be inadequate this weekend and there is a good chance that the entire event could be closed down because council requirements will not be met.

This said, I am going up this afternoon. I would like to ring up Visacard and cancel my payment on my tickets but it is too late and I don't have enough evidence to say that the event was inadequate. However, if I find out this afternoon that the facilities, security, lighting and sound are lacking, or if the event is closed down, I will be ringing Visa and telling them that the services I paid for were not provided and let them chase the money from Earthcore/Spiro.

I seriously doubt that Spiro will be there this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if he skips the country and disappears for a while. If not, then I wouldn't be surprised if he goes bankrupt again in the near future. If he is there, then I hope he is ready to answer some questions from some angry punters, me being one of them."
