Although there were a few notably soured that they didn’t win in the end, I think generally the bands that participated were supportive of the winner, at least outwardly. Speaking of “Battle of the Bands” shows, are they partially to blame for turning band against band? Back in April we participated in Metal Test Final, a contest among local metal bands to win a spot for the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival at the Palladium in Worchester, MA. The only time I’ve seen every band playing that night stick around for each other is out of a false sense of respect and doing so only because they have to in order to find out the results of a “Battle of the Bands” type of show.

It’s not every band that does this, but the percentage favors the “cut and runs” over the support ones. The theme has been the same since then and not just for us, but for every show that I’ve been to since then for almost every band. Most of the people in the bands who played earlier went home and took their fans with them. When we played as the last band that night it was to a sparse crowd thinned out from an already poor turnout. Doing your first show is like losing your virginity: It was an awkward mess and you’re just glad to be done with it. I had absolutely no previous experience as a show promoter and less in the live scene as a performing band.

The venue was an old discount movie theater that I rented out with my own cash inviting along 3 other bands for the night.
