Being an organizer/promoter for an event isn't easy. Especially if it's a DIY kind of event.
You fork out your own money, you hustle between work and the event paper works, you struggle in delegating with the bands during their stay in town, you get extreme emotional breakdowns (really extreme), etc.
To summarize, your work your ass off so hard to hopefully ( and I mean really being hopeful ) that the show gets a green light and running smoothly through the whole event. What's better? You don't make a cent of profit even after collecting ticket sales from everyone.
But why do we do it?
Passion. Love. Friendship. Comradery.
This is what keeps the local music scene alive.
Bands, fans, crews, everyone always in for group photoshoot!

Always a pleasure to be skanking to local Ska band MARKAZ69.
Audiences are always in for the powerful perfomances by both local and touring bands.
You won't get to SEE and FEEL the raw power like this at a Celine Dion concert eyh?

Everyone is always touchy when it comes to guitars. Wonder why?
