No Show- AGAIN!

Euphoricide; thrash metal from Bury

This band came in to us and asked for a gig... they came to us, not the other way around. They were in the place on the friday before their Saturday gig and said yeah we're all well syched for the gig tomorrow, and we recipricate.

Saturday night comes along, and they are no where to be seen. No phone call, no message, and mysteriously their phone was 'off' when we tried to get in touch.

I think this is a joke and any venues looking at the possibility of booking this band should seriously think about whether they actually want to risk booking a band as unreliable as these guys clearly proved to be!!

VIVA LA NORTH WEST BANDS... still yet to have a no show off any band booked off here, so good on you guys, you do things the right way!

There's a talent thing on Sky at the moment for unsigned bands, where they do an audition in the hope of getting on.
It makes me wonder if these guys, the ones before, and the ones booked in at the Fleece last week cancel gigs without notice as they get an offer of audition, in the hope they will get noticed or signed. Whichever way, it's a shitty thing to do, and not even let you know.
P.M. being sent with availability for the rest of this year.
