How do I stop this bloody thing emailing me every time someone posts? I just asked about Velvet Revolver - I really don't care about all the other crap on this thread. Now I'm getting emails every 10 minutes about Led Zepplin. I don't care!
Anyone know who the support for Velvet Revolver will be? I'm assuming at least some of it will be local.
Oops, didn't see it up there!
You tend to find the big international acts bring their own stage crew to set up the instruments, but everything else is done locally. Why fly 40 people over to lift boxes?
Cher wouldn't be my first choice of act to work for, but beggars can't be choosers. Hey, I roadied for the Wiggles - how rock and roll can you get?
Most of the work I did in Sydney was bump in and out - bumping all the gear off the truck into the venue, and bumping it back on at the end. All the summer festivals (BDO, AK05, etc) will require a lot of that stuff, plus any big gig (Robbie Williams, Cher, David Bowie). I'm sure there are companies out there that do this stuff but I don't know who they are!
Does anyone know where I can go to get work as a roadie / stage crew in Auckland? When I was in Sydney I worked through an agency (Lock and Load International) but there doesn't seem to be anything like that here.
I'm just looking for a bit of work on evenings and weekends.
Has the Dogs Bollox got a website? I'm trying to find somwhere that lists their gigs for the next month or so.
I heard on bFM that The Checks are playing at the Masonic on Sat 12th. Anyone know where I can get tickets, or how much they'll be?
