What the fucking fuck?

AMP has been having trouble finding a solid venue. i'm guessing they either book them ahead of time with hopes of having a venue, or they have a venue booked but then the venue owner pulls out on the deal.

i think a lot of the clubs that have been around in Milwaukee for a while have established their certain nights and certain crowds - like Three & Mantra - and they've proven to be successful, hence why they are still open and doing good business... and a lot of the newer clubs don't want to enforce a cover charge on a thursday night because they are afraid people won't come back.

i could be wrong, but that's what it seems like to me.

anyway, there's a 3 page thread about it on clubmilwaukee.com

The problem was turnout. They pulled the shows because there was no turnout. Sadly, a lot of people talk about going to clubs, but only a certain few actually go. This isn't a ZING against anyone, but things come up and people can't go out. Its understood.

Luke Fair - 10 people
Nic Fanciulli - 5 people

You cant bring in the worlds best DJs with turnout like that. I'm sure you all understand.

Yikes! That's how few people made it out, even for Luke Fair? I'm gonna cry now, because last night I went to one packed club by my house, with tons of people dancing to Eiffel 65 (#?) - Blue followed by that Alice Deejay song, then I crossed the street and sure enough, another packed place and the same exact songs back to back. I'm going to say for the sake of humanity that Zabiela would have brought in more than 10 or 15 people if mixing every track on "Club Hits Volume 1" with every track on "Club Hits Volume 2" can get 100s of people to pay $7 a drink and have a good time in Chicago. Put the show back on and I will drive up with my entire family!

do you mean only 10 people bought presales, or only 10 people paid at the door? i mean, i remember seeing more than 10 people there that night. the group i was with was 6 people.

sad none-the-less.

Yes, ten people paid for Luke Fair..

When we brought James Zabiela to Three last year, we had 130 people, but we let in 30 people for free because the owners asked that we let in their "regulars" for free. This is the reason we never threw another event at Three. Milwaukee is a great town with a lot of potential, but a lot of the clubs do not charge a cover, and until this changes, promoters are going to have a lot of resistance.

If and when we find another venue willing to cooperate and support the music, we will bring in the best DJs in the world. There is no need to drive to Chicago every weekend.

I can't believe the turnouts were that low. It's a shame that you couldn't keep bringing the names with numbers like that but you definitely aren't to blame. Hopefully in the future things will work out for you guys better, because I know that myself and others appreciate the hard work you've done in trying to bring the talent in.

Thanks! We appreciate the support and we love doing it, so we'll be back in the right venue, having a ton of fun with everyone. Until then, see everyone soon.

I would have went to both shows if I was of age (won't be 21 until May). Why doesn't Milwaukee let people that aren't 21 into clubs? I went to see Armin last year in Cleveland and I wasn't 21. They sold alcohol and everything. All they did to me was mark my hands with black marker at the door to indicate that I couldn't buy drinks. Seems so damn simple to me. I'm sure if 20 year olds could get in, a bigger turnout would be feasible
