I agree that when you book a show like Kylesa or like Rattus, where these bands have little chance to come up and rock, that having competition on those nights is rough stuff.

But that still doesn't answer the question as to what all those bands that need shows should do. October alone there's several NC shows and several Armageddon shows, all on Fridays and Saturdays. That said, the rest of us can't just sit at home and wait till there's a weekend free that no one's booked, as that means we'd have to just not play in October, or tour (and we've done so much touring this summer we just want to play locally now).

It's not fair to the other bands that need things. For instance, Ymer wants to start playing out. No one's heard them yet, but they want a chance to show people what they sound like. If they have to wait till they get on a Notcommon show or an Armageddon show, they're far back in the cue...there's already a lot of bands trying to get on stuff. That coupled with what if you guys don't like their music, means they might not ever get to play regarding that.

I think it's a great move to have bands check the events calender and be fair to you two promoters because you do a lot to help out both touring acts and local bands, and I definitely recognize that. Being courteous and respectful in this industry is not only humane, but it can take you far.

But I don't think you're going to eliminate the problem of having double-booked nights, and I don't think it's very fair to ask the smaller bands to stay away from those nights and just chill out till someone tells them it's ok to play.
