there should be a section on this site where we can talk (or bitch) about venues. like leftfield (AGHH!!). it could be just like the artist forums, only a big as list of nz music venues. yeah.
ok yesterday I asked about chequers in Blenheim, because goodshirt are booked to play their on the 6th of April, I would like to go but wanted to know what this venue is, before I drive the 2 hours to get there.
I asked on the good shirt forum but i will ask here as well to help cut down the echo.
The star light ball room is that the one that looks like a big tent, that they have been showing on the telly coz of the proforming arts festival?
Thank you for clearing that up,
both names sound like some where you would go for tea / supper dances ( a concept even older than me) so maybe thats why I got con-fused
James Cab is now a jazz club or something.
Starlight Ballroom used to be a hotel (can't remember it's name), it's on Willis Street. Bigger than the James Cab, smaller than the Town Hall, it's a compromise.
and yeah... you walk into a nice bar foyer, stair well curving up the wall. all nicely finished with slats and hard wood. (sort of like the st james complex foyer but woodened). then into the auditorium it's like a dank old cold cark park with a stage at one end. worst of all the room has these mug ugly concrete pillars everywhere. the place is hardly anything like the name would imply.
until they at least they paint it black, the starlight ballroom shouldn't be a venue at all just yet thank you. not until they've lost the clever columns.
shady acoustic's too... but it does get nice and loud. there.
aotea centre is pretty neat too... and welli town hall is always going to be etched into my psyche. but i bet there's some seriously hooked up bars hiding around this pokey country... there has to be.
wellington almost thrives on them. auckland would if it could... if it wasn't for half the nations nightclubs. there's some pretty cool local regional bars around as well. i guess you'd have to ask the exponents or sal dub if you really wanted to know... jordan luck at least, god knows he would've seen & been in everyone bar in the country three years or older. or whenever was their last mammoth summer tour?
this could be an absolute lie but it was the story doing the rounds in Nelson a few weeks back, and i thought it is a classic J luck story,
the exponants where booked to play the gumpy mole, and where all set up to go when they discovered that jordan was no where to be found, after much panic and running around he was found in the bar two doors down where an overseas stones tribute band was playing and his attude was fuck our gig this is so much better.
Like I said at the start this could be a total lie, but i was told it by some one who said she was there....
FYI the grumpy mole in Nelson has to be one of the worst venues ever
before i go on with my moan great staff free cups of tea and chocolates for nana coz I'm a sweet old thing
but a long thin room with the stage at one end at the side, the tadpole Mother guru gig the lighting stack blocked the veiw for about 1/2 the people there, you had to walk through the mosh pit to get to the loo,
they moved the stage (ha stage i mean the bits of wood they had slung over the big long ranch table you could see it wobaling) for the zed gig a few nights later so veiw was better. but I've seen them before. i could only see the top of renees head as she jumped up and down, and the odd bit of Mother Guru dread as it flick back and forth. *****
i helped pack out that zed gig at the mole. funny. the 'stage' is a bit of a laugh too...
i found those rage noise audio crew are some damn good folk. cher cher.
Did you see old lady in black sitting in corner with cups of tea?
I thought the bass player was yum sad his voice not working well that night
ps if the whole did I see you there thing is creeping y out don't answer
no... i was across the road shooting pool at the shark club. nice place too. never stepped foot in the place until broad daylight the next day... close tho'.
// I thought the bass player was yum sad his voice not working well that night.... I don't Mean Ben cambell, I am talking about a much older person who was in a local covers band that was opening for Zed.... and i was meaning his playing
sorry for that. it did too... i meant i was helping the local audio crew with the pulling all the gear to bits, winding it up and packing it into their respective cases. then into the truck. luckily the 'mole people let us do all that the next day. found the staff there sweet for that. got to swig a beer afterwards too.
well, i hate leftfield. its not actually a bad music venue, but i really hate the crowd. i always feel totally overdressed compared to the other girls there. "oh no! my pants arent white and 3 sizes to small for me, and my top doesnt have a dipping neckline..... what to do!" :P
other than that, what do you peeps think about kings arms?
white pants are only labeled skank pants becuase the majority of girls that wear them, use them to flaunt off their asses....they get extra tight ones so their asses are totally visible...oh and top it all off with a black g string and a white boob tube and you got your perfect skank. i mean im fully into not being judged by what you wear, but if your gonna use clothes to nearly be naked so you can get a guy, i dont respect you!......man isnt it funny when you go past a chick with skank pants and you happen to spill your ribena juice on her?! hehehehe that was a great day....
oh that last message wasnt directed to you.... just to skank pant wearing teeny boppers.
god no please no oh help me please dear god i can go there again help me not going to do it not another venting room helpppp i'm only just got the stiches from the dog attach from the last one..... not we hate skanks in white pants again aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
go easy on the whites pants black g-string skank trash brigade
it's just a stage young girls of easy morals go thru
and thank heavens - for without them would little boys do?
they may as well live it up before they enter the next phase
Ill admit that I have owned and *gulp* worn a pair of white pants - but that was about 2-3 years ago and they wern't really see through, what can I say?..... it was before they became caught up in the skank world! I mean the girls really have to let them go now, its just not cricket anymore!
// i thought it was only chicks with fat asses that didnt like white pants
*hurls huge rocks at manamana*
i dont have a fat ass! i'll even show you a pic of me to prove it. and anyway, i've seen really fat skanks squeeze themselves into tight white pants, so that just goes to show!
I thought they didn't wear much there, let alone white pants and skanky g-strings. Clubs would be more popular among the nation's menfolk if they followed Showgirls' example :).
i dont know... maybe treat females better and grow some morals? skanks make me sick. and i dont want to go easy on them because i think theyre disgusting.
not trying to bitch at you ed, i just really hate skanks!
HEY!!! I'm on my way to 'solo mumville' (as you call it) and I AM NOT A SKANK!
Dont say it like its a bad thing that only happens to girls with no morals!!! I'm offended!
