harper\'s new management is being shitty. they\'re used to dealing with dumbass BU kids and i think they just assume that everyone is a dumbass college kid and discriminate.

i had two friends kicked out for underaged drinking at rane shows a few years ago, and someone kicked out for knocking a bunch of shit over on his way outside to smoke a cig when he couldn\'t even stand up .... but i\'ve heard more stories about people being kicked out of there in the last 2 months than i\'ve heard of the entire 5 years i\'ve been in boston and hitting shows there.

and all of them for stupid reasons too, i can understand the underaged drinking and when my buddy literally couldn\'t stand up as he was walking out of the bar a few years ago... but this is just ridiculous.

and it\'s not like they\'re kicking out the dumbass drunk broke college kids (no offense to any of you) but they\'re kicking out older people who aren\'t even fucked up, who spend mad $ there, and it\'s really starting to piss off the show going crowd.

and it sucks that it\'s one of the few decent sized venues that books good music in boston. you\'ve got that, the middle east, and the paradise...

I love Boaton....but the music scene has a very violent undertone which might have caused someof the Harper\'s over reaction.

In particular...stay far away from any Boston clubs that host hardcorw bands.

A few years ago Mighty Purple was attacked twice by hardcore gangs at the Rat...once during their show, once when they were packing the van. There is a loosly knit group that puts out videos called The Boston Beatdown chronicling mayhem with out of town bands.

Boston has some very deep issues regarding race and class, and it sometimes vents these diffences through violence in the scene.

If you see this stuff...get away from it, these people are lunatics.

the boston hardcore scene is definitly crazy. i remember leaving a Converge/American Nightmare show in boston having lost a huge amount of hope for humanity. the show was just rediculous. you\'d make eye contact with a person and they\'d run at you and slam their shoulder into your gut or maybe kick you in the face. too much for me, let me tell you...

well....i think those posts might have to do with reason #8,273 why i don\'t really like scary freakish hardcore "let\'s go kill a baby!" music. YIKES, you guys ought to be careful if you really are going to those shows..get a weapon or something.

jason you are a madman...genius idea haha

hey hey, lets not condemn hardcore in general. thats not what its about. old school new york hardcore was about unity and friendship and about channelling one\'s aggression into music rather than negative behavior, but then again it all depends on what band you\'re listening to. somewhere along the line someone got the idea that hardcore was about violence, and this silly idea ended up with a lot of really bad bands preaching some really fucked up stuff. but originally, a lot of hardcore carried a positive message, thats what got me into it in the first place.

Jim Cobb · « **Reply #55 on:** October 04, 2005, 10:43:29 am »

postom · « **Reply #56 on:** October 04, 2005, 10:52:19 am »

i saw GWAR twice. i recommend everyone experience GWAR at least once in their lifetime. there is nothing else like it.

but have you ever seen dave brocke (gwar\'s front man) jello wrestle a 350 pound transvestite?

from what i\'ve heard they chop off their puppet costume arms an other appendiges and then spray tens of gallons of fake blood onto the crowd. as well as spit on them, any band that transfers bodily fluids other than sweat onto the crowd does not interest me. but thats just me......
