EvilSnakeWoman · Post by **EvilSnakeWoman** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:48 pm

so if melb has the capacity to run weekly gigs for this mix of genres... does that suggest that collaboratively we could fill a weekly nightspot aka superclub??

would be great to not have to know whats on & just roll down to the local club playing what u wanna hear each week...

hmm think about it i guess

dont agree. same venue each week gets tired real quickly.

diversity is the key. diversity of acts. diversity of venues. diversity of crews.

its what fun is made of.

Mm ok MrJ, but 2 outta 3 aint bad – diversity of acts & diversity of crowd.

don't forget about all the kids who don't know who in the world "calibre" is,, but likes to drink, dance and socialise..

Foo >>> yep ur right. but can we get numbers from all crews to know the current capacity is next question?

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:18 pm

Same venue each week is a total loss.
Smaller crews would just start doing parties at other venues and you loose some of the regulars and your capacity is diminished.

wow. that's pretty goddamn impressive.
couldn't have picked a worse time to leave.

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:32 pm

Scene needs a local superstar tbh.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:12 pm

awesome list we got going on.

who said winter is for hibernating?

i like too many genres, that list only covers part of my musical tastes. fark.

EvilSnakeWoman · Post by **EvilSnakeWoman** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:16 pm

so DBoy>> what do u recon would need to be done to help maintain capacity at the same time as respect & encourage the smaller UG crews to grow?

jamesss >>> oooh local superstar would be cool... maybe a sponsored dj comp similar to DMC but for DnB/DubStep/Grime/Glitch/FGarage DJs?

same o · Post by **same o** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:19 pm

affiks is not a superstar dj??????????????????????????

he is currently in vietnam shown them how to get down with pho and all that

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:20 pm

That's not really what I meant!

I mean a local DJ/DJs who punters will be as excited / more excited to see than an international despite the fact they might be seeing them every week.

They seem to pop up from time to time.

Boogs is a good example from another genre I suppose.

was being sarcastic.

don't think it will happen in Melbourne for these genres. If revolver/lounge/p.o.w started doing saturday night dubstep local parties then maybe. but sif that gonna happen

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 2:37 pm

Yeah I don't think it will either.

If it does they should have a cape.

meltdown · Post by **meltdown** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 2:41 pm

great to see a list of things to do, would it be a stupid idea if someone could make an iphone app that promoters could log into & update events, fliers & bookings?
Anything out there close to it?
I reckon it would be a handy tool

as for local superstars, they're already here and have been here for a while, melbourne has so much local talent of international quality

iPhone Apps a great idea Rainer!

hell yeah - we've def always had the pro skills in melb... just not the right attitude from enough people it seems

there's plenty of time.

any u jokers got real ideas?

there is such apps. i got offered one recently. however, they are for one venue/promoter only to use, not a full linked calendar of events. you pay quite a bit to set it up, you would want the majority of the population to have Iphones before doing that!

so Fail, in my mind.

You are missing my point. But I do agree there are lots of good DJs.

EvilSnakeWoman · Post by **EvilSnakeWoman** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:16 pm

didn't think so...

app is totally possible and shouldn't cost the earth. someone just has to do it. talk to safire maybe, he'd know

an iphone app like this done professionally would cost about $5,000 at least

yeah makes sense but that's not custom built

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:59 pm

So if Cubist absalutely blows up in Europe while away. Lays down some tracks with some names, gets picked up by Metalheads and starts being named up top on fliers with UK players who we call stars here as support - then can we call him a local superstar and get excited about going to see him play?

Or will we just put (uk) after his name and not let the kids know he is from here to ensure they give nuff respect...

Looking at the list and wishing I could go to 80% of those gigs, not 10%.

Massive Melbourne.

OperativeNam · Post by **OperativeNam** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:00 pm

Great to see so many awesome gigs coming up and yes we are spoiled this year. For those of you who have ideas, put your money where your mouth is and do it yourself like the guys who are putting on the gigs mentioned in the list above rather than tell everyone else what to do and how it can or can't work.Simple.

Big ups Operatives, Too Much, Heavy Innit & BBA for putting on quality gigs over the last few years!
