IN, Indy - 11.17.09 tue - Evol Intent LIVE @ the Melody *REVIEW*

This is kind of where I was getting at. Last Tuesday, it seemed that there were issues with the sound system at the Mel and was hoping some supplemental sound would be brought in for such a high talent act.

I know quite a few people were already planning to attend the Cincy party before this show was even in stone. Given it's on a weekend, has better sound, and as mentioned it's a bigger venue with the option to check out the basement as well, $10/door in Cincy seemed strange when it's $15/door here for lesser sound, smaller venue, and a weekday show.

Not trying to be snarky, but my g/f works early during the week and will likely miss tuesday night. I don't really want to pay twice to see the same act, so I have to weigh my options.


first off...cincy is pulling a much bigger market than we are. they get to pull heads from dayton, cbus, cleveland, lexington, and louisville on a WEEKEND. we are pulling from basically here and maybe a few of the aforementioned cities (and those people only being evol intent fanatics).

touching on another point...presales are TEN DOLLARS. w/ out of state or student ID you get in for TEN DOLLARS. if you go to the above and beyond show the night before and save your stub you can redeem it for a reduced entry of TEN DOLLARS.


another issue...you're concern with the sound. do you think we would go to all this trouble to literally provide you a great show limited by the house setup at the mel?????? top speed and richie august are one thing, but evol intent is another. i think you're forgetting that even if juxt is somewhat of a business venture, it's still in its infancy. everybody that shows up and participates in the organizational end of the night is pretty much doing it for the love...every month we figure out how to make the night better and let me tell you that putting evol intent on the monthly lineup was one of those things. we will provide extra sound to accomodate the talent, rest assured...

one more thing...in comparison with vexed III and their production crew you have to notice one IMPORTATNT detail. they have been planning this show for months...i think it's been six or more since their last event. we have to plan week in, week out for EVERY WEEK to make sure the lineup is solid and diverse enough to keep people coming in the door. we just do what we can within our limits...

I love how posts on here always turn into some defensive/offensive posturing.

I don't think he was complaining... just trying to get all the details so he would know which show to try to catch.

I think it's a given there would be extra sound... but with Tuesdays being a low budget operation.... it sounds reasonable to be curious about extra sound :)

well...this is the point that gets me:

yeah...well if you're inquiring on specific details don't highlight reasons to catch another non-local event. it's insulting. "hey everybody that doesn't post here but browses to catch info on local shows!! if you didn't know there's another chance to catch evol intent regardless of it being at your own local spot. did i mention that the venue is smaller and has weaker sound, too!?".

if you don't bristle at that then...well...:\ anybody else i could care less but this is coming from a local supporter/rotating dj for the night.
 
I think he's just weighing the options - pros and cons - for both shows, and was asking to be sold on the reason to come to the Mel vs. Cincy.


I see your point too though G.


PS - Those Juxtapoze guys are crazy. :p
 
Didn't seem like anything to bristle at.

Honestly, our shows have been $3 every week for the past four months or so. So it seems like a natural question to ask if there's gonna be supplemental sound and shit, as well as be curious about why it's costing more.

Didn't sound like he was trying to take anything away from our night.

When it comes down to it, we do have smaller sound, and it is a smaller venue. Seems reasonable to ask about the price due to that.

=D
 
The cincy party has been scheduled for months and I had already planned on attending. It was never explicitly stated that there would be increased sound/equipment so that's why I asked.

Sorry to hit a nerve George, but I've only ever tried to support juxtapoze and local drum and bass music, not tear it down, you should know that.
 
i'm fired up for this one. sorry :(

dongs to the sky, bishes...

come out and rep :)

I'd be surprised if you WEREN'T fired up. In fact, it's been a while since Indy got some worldwide dnb talent, so massive props for making the connections to help keep EDM in our city.
 
already scheduled the mornin half of the next day off, IT'S GOIN DONG!!

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET A DONG?
 
^^^ When I was up in Michigan, he was getting interviewed by the local RnB/rap/black people station, and I couldnt understand a damn thing he was saying. Turns out he's been addicted to drugs and booze......




.....and dongs.
