:::dammit i saw DM and thought this thread was about depeche mode
:::
::::what is "Dead Meadow"
:::::dunno who you are, but ive done my drops. meanwhile... STAY TUNED KIDS SEE IF IT HAPPENS... QQ TO ME STICK STICKLY POBOX 963 NYC, NY 10108
::::::
::::::In case you haven't noticed, I do have the desire to attempt to do every rad show I can bring to this area.
::::::
::::::But without a whatever-I-say-goes show-space, I am at the whims of venue gatekeepers...some of whom actually have no idea that Dead Meadow is such a known quantity of popularity that they could reasonably expect to sell out the show. And more importantly, when I hafta pound the pavement this hard even to book living legends---I'm talking about emailing, calling, and dropping in on multiple places per day---it still takes several days or even weeks to hear an answer from all of them. When the meantime stretches into days or weeks, the professional booking agent doesn't wanna do that dance with Sacramento and Davis....they just go look for cities that are easier to book, regardless of how successful their clients' last Sacto/Davis show was.
::::::
::::::This situation will only improve if and when somebody who knows what's up gets into a decision-maker position at a decent venue. Then there will be over-utilization issues which cause schedule conflicts, such as super-rad indie-pop band from Sweden A can't play because mega-hyped hipster-metal band B already confirmed the date. There is no perfect situation. Not even in Portland, Brooklyn, Austin, Oakland, or whatever city has dozens of venues.
::::::
::::::Do you have any desire to attempt to help in this quest?
::::::
:::::::do you have any desire to attempt to attempt (insert important response text)? when i comes down to it, sacto show is much more convenient and i know they were hosted here before. whatev just bring justin timberlake around and ill be ok
::::::::
::::::::Do you have a venue that answers emails promptly enough to satisfy the professional representation of bands that have achieved a certain level of popularity?

:::::::::Dead Meadow in sf on the 19... book em for a sacto show someone
