big ups to jam rock for the organisation, but some of the other fuckers there were wankers. getting my set time cut to 30 minutes (by both the band before me starting/finishing late and the fucking band on after me starting to drum) even though i was told id get a bit more time... or the wanker from downstairs telling me to turn it down cos the sound was coming through the floor (after matty's telling me to turn it up) and then 10 minutes was with only one turntable.

man, i felt like a cunt for asking some mates to come in so early in the day, and then have them pay $20 to get that! i can only hope theyll bother again in future!
grrrr, what can you do? no disrespect to you tho matt, i could see you were doing all you could!

we left after all that, so didnt see how it all ended up - howd it go?

Was an awesome day indeed! Enjoyed your set Matt, and Stryke! Loved cranking out my hard stuff too :) and Jayar, liked yours too! The bands doing their sound tests was a bit disrespectful, saw it happen a few times to other DJ's too. Was a Pity about the deck trouble, was lucky Matt called me in time so i could turn around and grab mine!

The crew i had there had a good time too... we then kicked on and got smashed after at a mates house with the decks outside... :tongue:

Big ups to everyone involved!! Came together nicely! :wink:

there was rave put on in 97 called Acquiescence - put on by Humble Lemming Productions (John Cherry, Simon Milligan, Adam James). It had DJ SS & Warren G upstairs and Voiteck / HMC / Jumping Jack downstairs. I worked on that as stage manager.

this Acquiescence festival has been put on in 2002 and 2004 and this is the third one. This time round theyve got me on board to amp up the electronic side of thangs. So we're showcasing all styles with plenty of new school talent for ya!

so grab your crew and drag them along to this - there's something for absolutly everyone with so much diverse entertainment represented

and its all ages so everyone can attend :thumbsup:

actually Adam James wasnt a part of Humble Lemming productions he was only a part of the Acquiescence promotions team. the third partner of Humble Lemming was the admin guy, so JamRock you probably would have met him if you worked as a stage manager on the night. guy with a shaved head, a prize for anyone who knows his name. he has the only known footage of the event.

another prize for anyone who knows the name of the second gig they did, and the name of the headlining act.

cheers to everyone who made it a great day

apologies to jayar for the first set dramas - the morning setup was a bit rushed and its unfortunate when the RCA cord breaks off the turney 5 mins before open time

big ups to JC for coming thru with the spare turny in record time

thanks to all who came and played (awesome tunage all day) pumping out the full spectrum of styles to a diverse range of punters

it seems some of the bands didnt have much respect for the DJs (they drummed over me too)

Ive got some funny pics too and will post em when Ive got a minute

Thanks again to all involved! ;)
