Damnation Festival 2009 - LIFE OF AGONY Added!

[nfe]

And you're helping  :P

That's the final announcement.

[nfe]

AUSTRALIAN experimental black metallers Nazxul will make their first ever UK appearance at this year's Damnation Festival.

The rare performance will be the band's second live show outside their homeland and an unexpected treat for the black metal fans attending the Leeds based event on Saturday, October 24, 2009.

Festival Director Gavin McInally said: "As far as we were concerned the line-up was complete but after Nazxul expressed an interest in coming to the UK to play Damnation, it was too good an opportunity to turn down.

"We're delighted to be hosting their first ever performance on UK soil and trust it'll be one to remember."

The complete line-up is: Life of Agony, Lock Up, Therapy?, Destruction, Anathema, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Rotting Christ, This Will Destroy You, Akerc--ke, A Storm of Light, Mistress, Negura Bunget, Minsk, Extreme Noise Terror, Manatees, The Gates of Slumber, And So I Watch You From Afar, Charger, Mithras, Firebird, Stand-Up Guy, Nazxul and Rinoa.

Tickets are on sale now priced at £29.50 from http://www.leedstickets.com/ , http://www.ticketline.co.uk/ and http://www.seetickets.co.uk/
Tickets are also on sale in Leeds at stores including Crash and Jumbo.

can we get discount tickets if we're board members? ;)

[nfe]

Can you buggery!

None of our own board members get cheapies! :lol:

[Twinfan]

So this is complete and utter spam then?

[nfe]

Complete and utter? Absolutely not, there's replies from folks other than me, so get it right up ye  :) That axe you're grinding must be sharp as all hell though, eh?

[Twinfan]

* There's no discount for forum members
* It's an event you're organising
* You started the topic purely as an advertising thread

That, to me, is spam.

[bucketshred]

Does it matter?

[Twinfan]

Doesn't seem quite right to use the board in this way to me?  Other forums don't allow this sort of thing unless you're a contributor/advertiser, so I guess I'm just asking the question  :)

[bucketshred]

Well it doesn't seem to be bothering too many people and (as far as I can see cos I'm at work) nfe is keeping it all to one thread.

IMO, it's not really any different to any of the threads that say: 'hey guys, I'm playing the Dog and Ballbag in X-Town this weekend, come and and have a drink if you're in the area!'. Not only that but I don't believe BKP are sponsors/partners/endorsers of any festivals so it doesn't step on their toes either.

Just my two penneth.

Gigs at the "Dog and Ballbag" are generally free, certainly the ones I've mentioned for my bands are.

Nfe is using the board to sell tickets to his event to make money, that's why I'm questioning if it's appropriate.  Tim and the boys may not care I guess?

[Twinfan]

Aha.  You may need to logout of the forum to see this page:  http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=register

"Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum."

[bucketshred]

Whether a gig is free or not it is still an advertisement...

...and surely Seconds Out breaks the rules then?

What about luthiers on the forum such as WezV and Feline? Surely them posting up a link and examples of their work is, in a way, advertising? (and that wasn't an attack on Wez or Jon, I think you both do some amazing work but unfortunately you both were the best example I could think of to make a point).

Personally, I don't see a problem with nfe posting this up here. He has been doing this for a while and it hasn't been taken down by the mods as of yet. If he was continuously posting random garbage for gigs he was promoting I'd probably see it as a little different but for a one off event which is aimed at a fairly small market, I don't see a problems.

If anyone official asks me to, I'd delete it all. I'm just advertising a festival that I figure some people here might fancy, with the high percentage of metal fans is all. Nobody involved in organising it makes any money, incidentally  :P

But nobody appears to be taking the huff, 'cept you, obviously, so I presume BKP aren't fussed.

[Twinfan]

Guess not.  I was just discussing, this is a discussion forum isn't it?  :)
