I'm in the middle of booking a bunch of shows for my band in the northern virginia/dc area, but I ran out of press kits. Anyone have any hookups for clubs that will let metal bands play at.. with just a website to go on? It's got everything as far as bio, music, pics, etc. We'll go as far north as..I don't know.. new jersey..new york maybe.. and as far south as..north carolina for now. We're still poor and we'll likely have to rent a uhaul.

hmm...700 miles.. the only way I think we could go that far is if we had multiple gigs in the same city to pay for gas and shit

We were supposed to play at the first big one (CAPS) (also the reason for creating the Gathering Forum) in BC in 2000..along with a bunch of other shroomery bands.. but the place they ended up getting wouldn't allow live music

VA Beach is full of assholes, IMO. Also, in Richmond try to hook up with a band called Municipal Waste or Operation Latte Thunder. Grindcore bands. You might be able to do some house shows too.

We played at 9:30 once about two years ago, but I didn't get us the gig. Ask to talk to Dante at both places?

There's not...well real metal that is. Not that I know of anyway, at least not here in Knoxville.

Yeah...old, shitty recordings... just click on my sig and go to audio Keep in mind these things: 1. We recorded those songs in under two hours, overdubs and all, using two regular SM-58 mics, on minimal equipment..mixer...and cakewalk express ..no mixing..no mastering...no effects. Recorded in 1999. 2. The guitar amps were Fender chorus combo (not the best distortion), which is not our regular amps (Line 6) 3. That wasn't our drummer, and it was an electric drumset 4. Other than that it captures our sound decently. edit: oh yeah, there's only vocals on one track.. Frogman.. I was 17 at the time..not particularly proud of those vocals we need to get into the studio...it's been too long since we've recorded.

Cool. I wish I could find some people that were into metal and could actually play it, but no, the only people I can find to play that are good are a bunch of phish heads and such. I'm a lonely drummer.

Are you a good drummer? Cause I know plenty of bands around here that need a good drummer. Good Drummers are hard to find. Look on the guestbook on my page, there's some guy from a neo-classical thrash metal band that signed it who is looking for a drummer. But alas, most of these people are in Va.

I would say I am. I'm actually in Guitar Centers drum off competition....I got into the finals. I have to go back this Tuesday and if I win I go to Orlando for the next one. I'm pretty excited about it and I feel I have a pretty good chance of winning, I've seen the other drumemrs I'm going against.
Being in Va is a bit of a problem I'm in Knoxville, TN

Awesome man... good luck with the drum competition! Even if you don't win..if you make it through the finals you still get some badass prizes.
I'll look you up if we ever come through TN.

Yeah, they already gave me a card to get 10% off anything I want...I'm going to be buying a new drum set soon and if I do, it will be a good one so I'll be saving 200 bucks or so. Looking to get a DW set, they kick ass. I'll update when Tuesday comes how it went
Sounds good man, if you guys ever come around here I'll catch your show.

Yeah man.. DW all the way. Our drummer has a hybrid DW/Tama set..actually with some Sonor drums in there too.. haha... but it's fucking huge (2 bass drums, 2 floor toms, 5 toms) and sounds awesome..even though it's all mismatched colors. And may I say, DW 9000 bass pedals = k3y (dual-chain, of course) Don't settle for less
