hi guys i got permission from the bar i work at, to put on a big idm/electronica night on in December... thinking about themeing it more as an industrial/idm night... has anyone here had any experience with putting on nights and stuff? any advice would be appreciated... oh, and i need a name for the night... can anyone come up with anything? hehe |

make real (as in paper) flyers to hand out @ other shows. sounds rediculously obvious, but people tend to skip the advertising part sometimes. |
||||||||

...hehe ive also been emailing rephlex and warp, trying to book rdj for when he's here in australia (january) hehehe... capacity is only 150, so it would be such an awesome intimate gig... ...i wonder if i have any chance in hell of actually getting rdj... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the most important thing is you get rdj to play...everything else is the easy part |
||||||||

Is the PA/lighting rig already in situ? Will you need any additional lighting/smoke/bubble machines? Do you know exactly when they want it to start and finish? How early will they let you start setting up for it? Have they given you a budget to find acts/djs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, my dads in advertising, so that was the first thing that came to my mind too hehe :) |
||||||||
|

If you want to book Richard via rephlex, it needs to be as part of a "substantial" rephlex artist showcase. Get Cyblob, Bogdan, Leila and Ouvaca as well and you might be in with a chance ;) |
||||||||

|
|
sounds of electronic :P I dun know :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sound and lighting is already there, its my workplace so i can pretty much start and finish whenever i see fit... if a local act plays, they will get $50... in the event that the bar makes over $2500 then all acts share a further 10% of the bars takings. in the event that i get rdj, we would sell tickets to the gig, and pay him according to what he charged ( i have the owners blessing to snag rdj, but within a sensible budget ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any idea what would "you make an offer as we wont" stand for? 200 bucks? 300? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tried rephlex, but im going through his manager now via warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
300 uk pounds is probably as much as i could offer rdj for the gig. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'd have to catch him in an excellent move fot that money :) :( here's what i read about richard devine this morning - he usually gets about 1.200 USD for a gig (which is less then i'd eaxpect) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I don't know exact figures, but I have a feeling it'd be over 10 times that... A lot more again for the showcase I mentioned. I mean, £2000 would hardly cover the flights of the other artists out there with their equipment, let alone accomodation etc. Offer to let them sleep in the bar on the floor and a free bar. Agree to give them free bar food too :) Other advice: Don't make the mistake of giving free/reduced price tickets to mates- on a venue that size 10 free tickets could very well be the difference between profit and loss. Also, if it's not going to be a regular (once a month) thing it wouldn't have any long term benefits to compensate for it (aside from your mates would be chuffed!) Are you just booking one act? Might be worth getting one local amateur (that you know is half decent) to play for free as a warm up act. You could DJ yourself right at the start and between acts. |
||||||||

|
|
well ok.. 300 Uk pounds = 1100 AUD 1200 USD = 1500 AUD so thats only another 400... i'd have to get that sum approved by my boss... i could sell tickets at 30 a piece... easy.. and id sell all 150 no doubt... thats 4500... fuck, ok, i can afford richard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not doing the showcase man, the reason im after rdj is because he is playing the big day out festival, about half an hour down the road... im trying to snag him for a solo gig. i wouldnt do it otherwise.. he's in the area yknow :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
call it " Blimp " IDM is full of sounds you can call in this way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm yes, but devine is probably "cheaper" than rdj? but since he's coming in australia in january perhaps he could stay there longer and have some vacation...but then again december is pretty busy especially for musicians... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Blimp... i fuckin' like it :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we're talking january here... around the time of Big Day Out... December is gonna be local musicians. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
break the fire regs. sell 300 tickets ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or Blimp Night....try to imagine most wicked sounds you have heard , name it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh :) hell "MUM" was $50... i think im being awfully nice at $30 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SQUONG. BARP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was thinking about this some time ago and i came up to at least 20.000 EUR and it would have to be a big place to be able to cover for that just from ticket sales but when they get on tour , perhaps that price comes down to a more reasonable one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i see, well you have a good chance then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldnt have to do anything other than pay him for the gig, maybe if he wanted a limo or something i'd have to get that... he's going round the country being pampered by the big day out boys, so there is nothing he requires |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, if he was already in the area I can imagine it might. I suppose if you booked him through warp you could get him on his own without the others... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp have passed me onto his agent, so im going to have to deal with him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah try RRINT HHAD SUOSH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or BOING |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope he's not reading this, or else he'll realise im just a fanboy with a dream :) gotta come across all serious and business like. :) well i am serious! bloody hell, imagine it, SUPPORTED BY XANPHA doesnt get any better than that... unless its "supported by aphex..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Luke Vibert is going to the big day out as well... so im trying him too... wouldnt be able to afford both of them, but one would be huge! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Richard, if you're reading this, be a nice chap and do it for $50. If you do I'll even buy Smojphace ;) Teapot- yeah definately try to get vibert, that'd be excellent! BTW I was just about to mention, take your laptop with you incase the main act doens't show and you can step in. I'm sure 1/2 the punters wouldn't notice unless it was RDJ you'd booked! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they like doing gigs together, so perhaps if you get in contact with them they'd even do it for free :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... i kinda would like to go straight to those guys and propose it to them, as a fun night yknow, where they can chill and have some awesome fun! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"wow luke, that sure was some awesome fun we had, all thanks to our new best friend, teapot!" "yes richard! lets take him around the country for the rest of the big day out!" "smashing concept luke!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

You are a dreamer of dreams you know ol' chap |
