Break in Adelaide??

So, I think the question needs to be asked.....

Is Break playing in Adelaide around New Years?

It would certainly be a sad state of affairs if we didn't end up getting him down.

Anyone.....?

maybe, hes coming to melbs

plus d bridge and klute please

yeh he's playing syd, melb and perth. but im pretty sure i live in adelaide so it would be a whole lot easier if he was playing a gig here.


ill second that.

From what i know break is nowhere this summer for the adl people

yeah well that officially sucks balls i reckon. it definitely shows the state of drum and bass in adelaide if we can't manage to get break, who imo is one of the most prolific producers of recent times, not to mention the host of other hot dnb acts who we're missing out on. 

really?

I think it shows bad timing, break's australian schedule being full and smart promoters not willing to risk losing coin on a break side gig the week of xmas or the week after new years, peak season for people spending their coin on presents and summer festivals.

break's playing melb and syd on nyd, and then perth on the 7th. what's wrong with the 6th? i'm no promoter, so i have no idea what kinda money break would be asking, but i reckon if the adelaide scene was as healthy as some people think it is, we would have no problem filling a small venue like soho's or the sceptre. maybe i'm just disappointed because i rate break so highly, i dunno. and then there's the rest of the big acts who we miss such as nero, sub focus, high contrast, breakage, spor etc.

Plenty of people have tried these types of gigs at that time of year and lost money.

You're talking after Christmas/NYE/Summadayze/Stereosonic/Whatever else is on during this time, a low door cover charge may get the heads but it won't cover the cost, a high door cover charge might cover the costs if its packed but people don't buy tickets because they can't afford it.

i can see what you're saying. people don't want to lose money. that's definitely fair enough. i just thought that if the scene was in full flight it would be able to support a "side show" with someone of as higher calibre as break. obviously not.
