the sound at plush has always been bunk

problem with armin, who makes it even worse, is that he likes to crank it all the way up and i guess the limiters on the soundboard are shitty or just don't do the job well so that fcks up the main sound

if the volume is set to normal, it's actually pretty decent, but i guess DJs and sound techs feel like they need to turn it all the way up as if people are deaf and can't hear

even with earplugs, sound at plush is deafening and feels like sand paper against ear drums.

now sound at celebrities is amazing! you can stand right in the front with the headliner going all nuts and it won't even hurt your ears.

oh and bouncers at plush have always been assholes too.

always the same people bitching over and over again... honestly, why don't you stop showing up?

anybody know if Twisted has some sort of contract with AvB so that only they can bring him to Vancouver? If not, we should band together and bring him here ourselves.

He's under contract bro, they all are. Don't be fooled, they
care not of the quality a club. They gig around the world to
pay for more production gear and such ...

As for "banding together", its been a dream of mine since
ever, but - this is Vancouver ... it's different out here.
I say "different" cause I hate to go on another rant of
what the fuck is wrong with YOU PEOPLE !!! UGH!!!

Being a starving student, no I don't. I do, however, believe I can do anything I set out to do (not inspirational garbage, but maybe I've been affected by it). So I believe that I can find that money somehow, and in a legitimate and professional manner. Certainly being a business student gives me some credibility in this area due to what I've learned through classes and first hand experience.

Is Victoria the only BC stop Tyas is making in 2007, or will Vancouver get another chance to hear this DJ?

Loren, I think I met you @ Tie$to back last year ..?

To answer your inquiry, Mr.Tyas's current schedual only
includes Victoria BC. However this can change at any
time pending proper arrangements with local promoters.

hmmm .. Naz-a-paloooza #2?

Tyas @ Celebrites? It is very possible.
I'll speak with Naz and we'll see what and if anything can be done.

that was his booking fee maybe a couple of years ago
its definately more than that now
dont forget airfare (first class), hotel (4+ stars), food, this that and you're looking at so much money, even being a very determined business student you will probably not be able to pull this off

oh and if you're thinking of a place like the pne, you'll need even more money

so, really, twisted and solid are pretty much the only two companies in the city that can actually afford to bring in DJs of armin's caliber

I didn't bitch over and over again.. I guess i am the only one saying that Plush sucks around here soundwise right? Like I said.. nobody will listen to us.. and you guys can't afford commodore most likely so.. hey.. "let's do it at some club with shitty sound.. it will still sell out so who cares" ... I scalp tickets for your shows and get in for free anyways... I would not have paid even $40 to hear the extra loud bass even with earplugs on. eh.. whatever.. promoters don't care

+1 for Plush being overall a shitty place.

I went there a few weeks ago for Bassnectar. It was a really interesting crowd, Burning Man kinda feel. Anyway, everyone was having huge fun, a bit too much for security liking so they decided to secure the front stage area a little bit better. Lorin noticed it and went on the mic and told the security to go away. That why I respect the man that much.

As long as Plush shows going to sell out like that (or actually oversell) they're going to stay there. Why fix something that's not broken (from the monetary standpoint)?
