Daz I think there should be a definite correlation between the time of day and bands playing. Lazing back during the day to very relaxed soundz would be cool, and then bring the 'harder' acts on later. I admit I didn't stay for all of Rhombus but them coming on after the energy that was Betchadupa didn't quite feel right. I realise it's hard to put big names earlier in the day but it's just my thoughts.
I honesty don't know jimi, I think the ...
I honesty don't know jimi, I think the idea of having a dub act up last, so it turns into a dance party is a great one, but it does need to be a high impact group like The black Seeds, who are pretty flipping good.
I mean who knew that betchdupa were going to explode they way they did, they have raised their game 10 fold since I last saw them, and then to have Rhombus go through techo stuff and try and cover it with chatter, my heart just bleed for them.
It will take a while to get the mix right, and the thing that scared the bejeeezus out of me was to talking to people round the place before hand who hadn't even heard of betchdupa or rhombus....... but one day the public of Nelson will click that we have something pretty damn fine happening, and I still live in hope for people to work out that they don't need grog to have a good time
Do you think if big names were put ...
Do you think if big names were put earlier in the day people would come for them? If only less known bands are in the earlier hours, of course the majority of people aren't going to come until later. Hmmm, I think I like the dub being after midnight so I don't have to stay too long when it gets freezing. & Even if the big names are spread out during the day, more money would get back to the council if people come & go all day. So yeah, I reckon spread out the lineup, then more people will be there to hear the littler guys inbetween.

Crumb
Cortina
TLBT

being an absolutely wellington bias i'll list 10 bands i'd like to see at the cusp 04
crumb

yeah well, its a wishlist, and those are the "hip-hop" artists (forgive me if i have the wrong genre) that i really enjoy listening to, no american accents (i know its cliched but i prefer my hip-hop new zeland style) and to me it sounds really different and interesting, innovative almost...

faith - i have no doubt, however we've got the mono-poodread dwarf, sean sturm, and the deja voodoo (as they should be known), so i think we're doing ok ... oh did i mention who my drummer was?
;)
ok that last one's a cheap shot, we haven't had a practice in a few weeks now and he's making "i'm thinking of joining a rockquest band as well cos i wanna do practices again" noises ... as soon as we start up again we'll be sorted, otherwise i'm sure i'll feel like an idiot losing the perfect rock drummer
but hey what's the point of having a proven stadium rock drummer if we can't take him for granted ...
(we suck)
i can't believe i'm still at fucking work, night

Big ups!! to eveyone who has taken the time and initiative to send in demos and bios for this years event. As previously discussed, the council has confirmed funding for the next 3 years so if you don't make the bill this year, don't be discouraged!!!! The Cusp team have a vision...we see the event as a huge opportunity for up and coming bands to get to a new audience and established bands to get to a new audience. Nelson loves it!!! We have had some huge interest in the event from bands and the general public...this year is going to be huuuuge!!! We will be announcing the first bunch of performers in the first week of September, so keep checkin in...there will be less bands this year. We are running the event from 5pm rather than 1pm. There will be a big name early on, so make sure you are there when the gates open, it's going to be massive!!! There will be an official after-party this year also which will run from 2am 'til dawn...watch this space!
Respect to all who respect The Cusp!!
Be well...
