Very wrong! I shall ellaborate so that you see it beyond the just "its what I think" status...
1) You guys have MANY venues that take in big EDM names... Crobar, Spirit, Avalon-NYC, Webster Hall are the ones that roll off the tongue... There are others too probably... Boston has only Avalon! There's maybe one other club that can even compare to Avalon in size (Roxy) and it is not a very EDM-type of club... Hence on the basis of that, from having 4 BIG venues vs 1, we physically couldnt have as many names as you guys
2) The fanbase is much smaller in Boston than in NYC for EDM. So, less people come out per each big name that comes, so there's less $$ made, so there's less money to go around to spend on big names.
3) The basic facts: We get about 1 or 2 big names per month, sometimes none at all... NYC has SOMEONE big atleast somewhere EVERY weekend... I mean the list of names that have never come to Boston or have come once and have come on multiple occassions to NYC is large..
4) Finally, the percetion of NYC being a bigger city (which is in fact true) makes NYC a non-miss city on any east coast US tour for a DJ... Boston is big, but not a non-miss city, and if they are invited they will go, but it is not viewed as an essential place to stop by to really boost sales or develop a fan base... especially since plenty of people hop on the Chinese bus and go to NYC when a big name comes :)
Not a rant, just sorta my thoughts on the matter!
Also, bout Avalon-Boston, as a club its definitely better than Avalon-NYC from waht I've hearda bout it... However it is no Crobar or Spirit... I can promise you this though! Bring in a big name and the vibe is tight without a question... Each time AVB is here, the mood is just right! Carl Cox was here on Friday, and the mood was hott... come on a regular night and.. you might see something similar to Avalon-NYC... although again, I doubt to that extent!
I'm back to worrrrk :toocool: |
what are you talking about??
there are still just as many good djs going threw boston as there are in ny.... |

| Boston prolly doesnt get quite the number of quality club nights as NYC does, just because its like 10 times smaller, but pretty much any DJ that performs/has performed in NYC does so in Boston as well on a regular basis. |

So then.. how about Blank & Jones, Cosmic Gate, Johan Gielen? Infected? THese are pretty household names when it comes to EDM... but... we have not gotten those here... at all if I'm not wrong... I'm not even thinking too detaliedly here... and this is not to mention the fact that some have performed once and I am not metnioning them.. i.e. Sander Kleinenberg (was here ONCE.. in NY pretty often), Ferry Corsten (was here ONCE, on NYE... in NY more often than Boston for sure)...
I mean I didnt say none of them, but significantly less DJs are in Boston than in NY... |

Meh...I'm going up to Montreal on the 1st in favour of Adam Beyer @ Aria, a far superior club than Avalon! :toothless Will be at Picotto tomorrow night though. Armin should be a good show, hope everybody has fun! |

Mauro, Diggers, and Armin...I'll be at all three.
It's a shame this appreciation thread deterioated into a flame against Boston, but that's typical in this forum. Can't ever have a post without a flamewar...must be the nature of forums.
See you guys tomorrow for Mauro |

I can see your gripe but the Beantown scene isn't bad at all. It's similar to the list of DJs that DC gets.
Plus the beantown scene is much better than the Philly scene |

Yeah, that kinda pisses me off that Philly's EDM scene is just that bad. :mad: |
