They have Avicci & Glenn Morison on "Saturday, April 22"
Though April 22nd is a Friday. I wonder if they mean April 22 or April 23rd.
If APril 23rd, maybe it's the start of then trying a weekly again.
There's no room in SF for more promoters right now. If Gareth wanted to do a "Northern Lights" concert up there, he wouldn't need Insomniac. There are a couple local promoters who could set it up. SF just lacks the venues versus LA. The Box is more of a club, but the main room is still bigger than pretty much any in SF, plus it has a big stage area (Ruby has one, but its stage is not wide.) |

I just mean because they can pay for these big money events.
I wanna see Spundae go all out and do something fresh. Ruby Skye ever weekend is great, but that's all they do now! |

A promoter isn't going to plan a big money event if it doesn't think it can't get money in return.
And again, you need the venues of good size (who can hold enough people to make it worth it) to do that stuff. And now there aren't only fewer venues in SF versus LA to do that, but outside of the club venues politics up there right now have made it incredibly difficult to get any non-clubs for special EDM events. Hell, Skills is having to throw etd.POP at the Factory. etd.POP at a club? Tells you how things are in the bay area right now -- difficult!. Markus referenced The Factory in his blog (it used to be called Sound Factory) after NYE saying NYE reminded him when he played there (around 2000). Now, Sound Factory can work as a club and sure it's had a little updating, but if that place wants to go anywhere on a higher scale it needs a rehaul, too. It's lived the last 10 years largely doing hip-hop and stuff.
And then the DJ has to want to do it. DJs (working with their agencies, PR, etc) are going focus on doing this type of stuff selectively. So when it comes to Cali, they are gonna usually pick one city to do the special thing in. And LA will pretty much always win that one because it's just a much bigger market.
This Gareth Emery event might not be to omuch more enhanced from a regular club gig. Or it could be -- maybe he'll have vocalists and stuff that night. I dunno. But if it's going to be a special "concert" event and he has to be selective with cities, it should be no surprised it's happening in LA. |

supposedly all the vocalists from his album will be there performing live. blake jarrell will be opening. |

| live vocalists are neat to see. But my ears usually bleed. Because 90% of them can't sing worth a damn live (and no matter how bad they are most people will blindly be like OMG IT WAS SO AWESOME!!! You can't hide a bad live singer. Think Black Eyed Peas @ Super Bowl! Live vocals to trance tend to sound that bad, IMO!). So I prefer not to have them around, lol. Or lip-sync. Looks cheesy and it's slammed too, but at least they can't ruin the song! |

| i've never been to music box. how is the venue? how does it compare to the palladium? |
|
|
| DaveT |
| I'd say it's more like Avalon. Maybe the stage area is wider?. It's also been completely remodelled in the last year or two so it's nice inside. And they put in new sound, so your ears won't bleed. |
