so??????

this is a farce within a farce

the only reason this gig might have gone ahead is because is was through direct dealing with the band and not the booking agent

so we will see!

As this is THE QUEERS tour which you expressly stated that you didn't care if Dangerfields played or not, I tried to ensure your own band (Dangerfields) were added to as many bills as possible in order to reward you and your band members for assisting The Queers with the tour and for helping to make sure the tour didn't get cancelled due to them having no drummer.

Feel free to go ahead and list the the problems that you feel have been encountered and I will post my responses in order to justify my actions. I shall also have my comments backed up by acknowledgements and comments by members of The Queers.

I feel we should discuss these alleged problems in person or directly and not via a public website as you only stand liable to cause damage to the reputations of yourself, your band, my clients THE QUEERS and myself, which will lead to legal proceeding should any such damages become apparent and evident via your defamatory comments.

From here on in, I shall NOT be responding to ANY posts regarding this matter as I have previously stated, I neither have time nor inclination to sit here and bicker in such a childish manner!

The Queers pulled 200+ in Leeds and Liverpool, both of which are smaller cities than Glasgow. They also pulled 100+ in Exeter and Bristol, again both smaller than Glasgow.

They may not be flavour-of-the-month whatever-core but they are a popular band.

To be continued...

This show was apparently arranged through a substitute band member without consulting any of the people arranging flights and logistical matters.

Can you find a direct flight from Edinburgh (UK) to Turin (IT) and cover all internal transportation and supply full backline & hotels? If so, we can discuss the possibility of going ahead with the show!

yeah its pretty funny I guess...

roll on the punks picnic!

Fuck you Baz.

There's not a court in the land who would view this tour as anything less than an unmitigated farce.

There's also nothing libellous about stating facts.

I stepped in to help out you and The Queers and was royally shafted for my troubles.

The Dangerfields were on the UK leg of the tour until you kicked us off in favour of Dead By Gun's euros. When I was asked to play drums for The Queers, you offered (OFFERED) to add The Dangerfields to the Euro dates. You listed us as support on your website but when we checked the venues' websites, we noticed we weren't listed anywhere. Understandably irate and confused, we started contacting the venues directly as someone somewhere (i.e. you) wasn't doing their job and Dan and Dave didn't want to traipse round Europe for four weeks scratching their merry arses. In just a few days, we managed to get The Dangerfields onto 15 shows - none of which we will now be playing thanks to Joe Queer sacking my ass, for which I am yet to receive a reasonable explanation.

Oh, and there are flights from London to Milan on Monday 5th July which would have made an Edinburgh show on the 4th entirely possible. Incidentally, I asked Joe and Phil if they were up for adding an extra UK show on the day off before I even approached Roddy/Kev. I was trying to help out their band, a concept you should familiarise yourself with sometime.
