its getting frustrating these days how Sydney is becoming worse and worse.... gigs are closing down everywhere and the lack of venues isnt helping.

is it the lack of adequeate promotion? is it the inexpierience of promoters? is it the punters?...

this continues into radio.. with all major radio stations reluctant to play anything dance related, you tell them our tracks are huge and they tell you to go jump.. then months later they end up hammer tracks by 4strings, plummet lmc vs u2 and soon to be oceanlab...... and when u say "i told you about this track 2 months ago" they go "yeah whatever"

meh

sydney sucks

im gonna move to melbourne, seems you guys have some wicked nights; Altitude, 5am, Viper ettcc? yeah?

it'd say it's a combination of factors.

certainly the lack of punters at the clubs/events is a major reason for the sad scene we have here. also the quality of events -- but without the people, there isn't enough to justify the massive production costs (which in turn draw more people). round and round we go...

just look at the numbers at two tribes over the past few years for example. the fact that they had to make it 15+ (instead of 18+ a few years ago) is an indication of the state of affairs...

sydney does not appreciate trance.

screw all them r'n'b, hip-hop, top 40 and whatever else joints around here. the people at those things suck. really disappointing coz i find i enjoy myself heaps more at trance nights.

I'm actually thinking of throwing a trance night in sydney. It'll be a one off and then we'll see from there. I'm struggling with venues though, I was thinking maybe Space? I haven't been there but apparently its been fixed up from Tall Paul etc. Any suggestions for venues apart from icebox? And if someone wants to give me a hand putting on the night, i'll take any help!!

I dont know what your budget is, but Space will set you back an arm and a leg to hire thats for sure !!

then trying to fill the venue is another story itself!

Sydney sucks cause trance is small here in comparison to other genres.

The interest is very low yet some people still go ahead and try make a venue for it.

then i think this comes back to where alot of BIG clubs are doing other genres, like Gatecrasher (or Ministry Of Sound?) doing more commerical and now doing hip hop just to keep the cash flow up to keep the club open.

meh, its better than nothing
