Then...as we had already left and were sitting on the sidewalk down the street, 2 guys come back at us with handcuffs, telling us they were SEATTLE POLICE UNDERCOVER! So we ask for their badge, didnt show it and then the cops showed up.

THESE BOUNCERS DONT RESPECT ANYONE! They will be hearing from our lawyer.

Posted by heidikillers]]> Sun, 10 Oct 2010 20:15:08 -0700 The Stranger unfortunately my rating is grossly outweighed by the prison gaurd like complex..
My own manager was denied access on two different gig nights during early load in..
She explained that she had to set up our merch stand and was givin a (not my problem) by the bouncer "THOR"

And YESS! as a local band..we have payed to play by mostly selling 100 or 200 tickets at 10 a piece,
guess Seattle has shamefully come to forcing fans & artists into musical fema camps since we all have limited venue options these days.. but I'm sure i'll be drinkin more of their coolaid since they intimidate and monopolise local acts for the slight prestige in opening up for touring bands...

HELLO??? RESSESION!!!...my friendly Roman gaurds

Spare yourself a headache. Don’t gratify these little twits by paying their hourly wage.

We were 3rd in lineup for the Hammerfall show 3-24-2010, line up in order were as follows:

1 ~ Sword Of Judgment
2 ~ Helles
3 Screams Of Angels
4 ~ Powerglove
5 ~ Hammerfall

They had us "Pay-to-Play" here and had us sell 100 tickets.

Before they would let us play, (10 minutes before opening the doors) they told us we come up with all the monies or we do not play, this is after we had set up all our stuff already. (We were waiting for the rest of the monies to show up and did in just two minutes after that).

We were told that we would get a 45 minute set for selling these tickets, after we got there, they told us that we only had 20 minutes to play and our vocalist told him that the owner of the club told us 45 for selling the tickets and he said "that's out of my hands" and he (employee) went back inside and came back out and said we had 30 minutes instead. . .

The person taking the monies from our vocalist was very rude to him as well when dealing with the monies issue... i won't get into details... she must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed?

We finally got on stage, set up and started playing our 30 minute set (without the opening which gave us a few minutes more)and about 20 minutes into our set, the guy at the sound board stops us and says "I have to stop you guys right there, that's 30 minutes already".... we only played for maybe 20? We had two songs left to our 30 minute set (we timed it a few times during practices to make sure of our 30 minute and 45 minute sets).

For my part, i was nice to everyone i came in contact with though i did not receive the same from most of the employees, one in particular i did and i appreciated that.

As far as I'm concerned, the amount of people who were there was estimated around the same if not more people for the "Metal Shop" show we did there months before and that head count was about 175 so I'm guessing that there may have been around 200 plus or minus a few heads so we sold about 1/3 to 1/2 half of the show and to be treated like that, I believe we deserve an apology from the staff and owner of El Corazone.

This group of people acted very unjustly and did not hold up to what had been said by the owner of this establishment.

But at el Corazon this weekend, they made me take my drums out to the sidewalk corner to break down and pack up. They even shoved my volunteer roadie and threw a fit when I tried to go get my drum cases. Not to mention they were grabbing my drums too.

I was pissed. When I questioned this policy and asked them why I wasn’t told about this at load in, they kicked me out and told me I couldn’t come back in.

Take your drums out to the street corner to break down?!?!? WTF?!?!? Really?!?!? Even after we pre-sold $300 worth of tickets.

Breaking down a drum kit on the street corner with homeless people watching you is fucking insulting. What an absolutely ridiculous policy. There was no reason I couldn’t take my drums off stage to break down and pack up backstage. There was PLENTY of room.

So, I stood on the street corner next to my drums and had a cigarette while a friend went and got my truck four blocks down and a band mate went in to get my cases.

When I told the manager it was a bullshit policy and that no one explained the policy to me during load in, he pulled out the arrogant “We have touring bands coming through, etc.” bullshit. So, my volunteer roadie says to the manager, “Yes… But, have you noticed that the touring bands never play here twice.”

Needless to say, I missed the rest of the show.

We had assigned seats front row center to the tune of $75 a pop. Guess what? Somehow that translates to fourth row crapola with your group not even together anymore and a threat of ejection if you try to take the seats your tickets say you have.

This place is not just a dirty, dingy, exhaust filled hole, it's also a fraud.
