The evil fish

Brenda told me about this at a show this past weekend... very sad. Just stopping buy to send my regards... I hope she pulls out of this... my prayers are with her and her family.

Can't wait to see you! Thank You :-)

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Plenty more added to this... lots of cool stuff... can't wait to see everyone there!!

Only 2 1/2 weeks away!!!

Yeah... I can't see us ever not working without Nix... he does all our work... CD art as well. You should have gotten a poster from us last night at Northern Lights! :-)

Not a problem Troy. Yeah... when ever we (CyberTrybe) have any kind of control over door cost, we like to keep it no more than $5. In this case when we have shows at the Leland... we (promoters) charge $1 more than the normal $4 at the door... that is sufficient to take care of the acts and still keeps it low for regular CC goers. It's more about the show than the money. I hope a lot of you all come out. We miss our DGN peeps... its been a long time. These leland Ballroom events usually turn out pretty good and are a lot of fun. I know CYBERTRYBE loves playing them. I'm looking forward in seeing everyone's Apocalyptic apparel... anyone who says they don't like dressing up like a mad max character is simply lying! lol

Yes Troy, its only $5.

Now being hosted by Dark Blood Angel and VJ Strokenfold.... WSG - F.I.S.T. (Guest DJ)

Mostly out of town... we're still booking.

This.... is gonna be fun. APOC2 event page

I think it would be just about right... just 2 or 3 ravers... not a shit ton of them lol!

lol what I'd like to see is ravers with their glow sticks stuck to the wall by 12 inch spikes to provide us light! And that might make it a bit Goth! (Just a hint that I don't like the little raver kids all that much)

Here's my opinion.... I think we need to step back and lay off the ego juice for a few seconds. I'd hate to see someones hard drive fry and more music have to be stolen because all is lost and their traktor is gone! Here's is what I know.... I know that the collective events have brought 100 to 200 more people into CC on the nights they took place compared to normal CC nights... that's a plus. I know that even though I agree to a point of the fetish thing being overplayed... its the really shitty amateur crap that is bad. Done right, with the right music, leaving a lot to the imagination and well rehearsed... fetish nights are normally good. I also know that my fetish nights I put on, on my nights I ran attracted more DGN and CC goers than any other night we had. Suspensions and fire acts took a close second. Just because there are 3 or 4 people vocal about "not" liking it doesn't mean that is the majority opinion. There's a reason why fetish nights attract more folks. (I just can't stand the fetish groups that think beating the hell out of someone is fetish and exciting) I think the themed nights have done well and people seem to have liked them to the point they are always asking when is the next one? What are the collective going to do next. So keeping it themed works and is good for everyone... no one said you had to stick to it and participate... do or don't.. it's you're choice. I'm not exactly sure what the "DJ's" have to worry about at CC except whether or not the next track they play is going to crowd or empty the floor. I do know the Collective has to sit on both sides of the isle of fun VS business. We have to make it fun so everyone will come back VS we have to think about profit and attendance or we wont have a venue for you to come back too. It's a hard balancing act. I think some amount of respect needs to be given to the Collective considering they are trying to unite this scene (which it is deeply divided) and bring attention to this scene which goes under-appreciated most of the time. I have seen more than enough... people bitching and cutting them down and not really giving them a chance. These people are out there promoting the crap out of what they do and drawing attention... more than what I have seen in my 15 years in and around this (Detroit) "scene". My rant here is about more than this thread... I'm seriously tired of hearing the bitching all over, on these threads, at clubs and in real life from people that don't do anything but show up... and complain. I mean if it's really that bad... throw on that white Izod and plaid shorts and go to the other side. In the mean time... let us have our fun... and you're all invited.

TONIGHT! This is gonna be a fun night! Plenty of good response to this show. Strangeling and Nahgma added to the bill... lots of good music! See you there!

I got some free tickets.... who wants some? Let me know so I can make a decision to come up to CC tonight or not.

bump

Nahgman was just added to the bill so the line up is: 7:00 Strandeling 8:00 Nahgma 9:00 CYBERTRYBE 10:00 OTTO's DAUGHTER Scary Guy as Guest DJ for the night! We have a shit ton of comp tickets and may come up to CC to give them out this weekend! Kitchen will be open for the night as well and believe it or not... the food is pretty good! The event ends at 11pm so it is an early night!

Flier for the show - one band still TBA!

BTW I just added the band Strangeling to the bill... one more and I'll announce them as well! Strangeling is a really cool local Goth band... played with them recently as well and really enjoyed it.

lol its very possible that a lot has happened in the last two weeks then huh? lol

Well this is a test run... doing it for OD and if things go well then we'll think about playing there more... they have done a lot to the place since I last was there... it is starting to look nice in there now... a lot of new stuff.

If you can't go then please spread the word! :-) Thank you

Really sad this didn't turn out as well as people thought it might... now I know why Doc is grumpy lol! All I know is whether it sucked or not and who's fault it was or wasn't.... doesn't mean we need to start bitching at each other... I'm sure that is gonna solve a lot! I do agree that the only time I see a lot of buzz about something on here is when people want to bitch... never a positive thread about an event. And what irritates me even more is that a lot of the time it's DGN moderators that are doing most the bitching and that isn't good. I mean don't get me wrong.... everyone has the right to bitch but I think people need to think about the ramifications of it... the after math of the bitching. Next year lets say some people get their shit together, promote it well and it goes off without a hitch.... yet no one came out because of the attitude displayed this year in this thread... that would be a shame. There's always a first time and it usually is the worse time... give these folks some credit for at least trying to promote the scene and do something besides going to CC. It looks to me that they were working against forces they couldn't change. I think anytime moderators or DGN insiders speak about events put on to promote the scene, they need to look for any bright side and try to stay away from the negative.... it isn't fair to the folks busting their ass to get the scene out there.

I know a lot of you don't like going to the Ritz but this is a good show that you wont want to miss! Otto's Daughter and CyberTrybe with more bands to be announced.

I don't blame Obama either... he's only one of thousands of Democrats in office... got to spread the love don't we? Funny thing is... go back and look at the chart.... then go and look when the democrats took over Legislation.... ??? "You have to spend money to make money"? Since when is it the US Governments purpose to make money? It is our business to boost the economy... not the governments... any and every time the government puts its hands into it... it becomes a wreck.
