i think that someone should spark up a welly youth concert with 1QA and Ejector and No Worse for Wear and 6th Density and shit. we can give them 1/2 an hour each and watch the rocken battle as 4 or 5 bands try to rock harder than each other. we can give it some kick arse name and charge like $5 at the door. 1QA and Ejector can pull the crowds and get some important gig practice and itll also be good exposure for the lesser known bands like NWFW and the like.

Yeah and then when they've finished in Wellington, they can come up to Auckland to do the same thing. If it is promoted well, people will turn up.

like minded people. good to see. im only 17!!!! i cant promote it or anything myself. Blink, i know you do a bit of gig organising and the like. would you be able to organise anything like this? the road trip to dorkland sounds good. sounds like a bus should be hired and the bands would pile in and tour the north island or something. like on "almost famous. Blink, if u like this idea post a reply.

yeah...but not for a while. I am flat out for next 3 months trying to earn money so i can continue to slack around for the other 9 months of the year. Tours like that cost money dude. Try to play some gigs in welly before thinking about touring...However i am gonna put on a couple of kick ass all ages shows when ejector release their EP around August. send me a mail to ---- mulletblowgoats@blink.net.nz and i'll keep in touch bro.
You don't need to be trying to promote your own gigs straight off, send some emails to wellington bands you like...try to get some support gigs first, try to do some recording....rumour has it Zeal are doing some free recording for wellys top youth student bands...email Mat from the zeal site, say you are keen.
Talk to valve and indigo, just tell them you are keen to play any gig and they will throw you on a 4/5 band line up sometime. You gotta get some experience playing pubs before trying to organise your own gigs.

Im in a wellington band called 'Mir' and we would be really keen for something like that. what underground bands need are regular gigs so that they can get exsposure. and benny who says you cant organise anything like this? If you can get 4 or 5 bands then I can pretty much say it will organse itself, Ill give you hand aswell, all it takes is some well planned publicity.
