Non fans. Teenage tweekers. Riots. Have you seen the videos from last year. This is terrible for Angelenos.

Fuck me.

ugh. Gotta go. Won't like the rest of the acts, though, nor the crowd.

No problem with a festival show, but HARD shows are just a bunch of teenagers on drugs who don't know the band or their music. I have no interest in spending my night surrounded by a crowd that this type of festival draws, especially at Halloween.

Every year I hold out hope that I'll see them on the Coachella flyer at the end of January...been quite a few years since that last happened.

Ah well, gotta suck it up and go. If there is a SF show the night before I may go to that, though. I've been to a HARD party at the Shrine for Halloween before...

So are these the same promoters as last years mess?

That is correct stimpee... awful promoters, just hope nothing bad happens this time around.

I would only go if several dirts met up and hung together, bring balance to all them mad ravers.

Gary Richards (Destructo) throws parties at the Shrine all the time. I'm not worried about this party having the problems the show at the Forum had.

I went to Hard Halloween a couple of years ago to see Soulwax and Simian Mobile Disco and the Shrine is actually quite great. Lots of outdoor stages and mobile bars and places to relax, and a lot of people had really cool costumes for the occasion. But since then, Hard fucked up my last Underworld gig and everything you hear about the obnoxious teenage ravers is completely true. Not the ideal situation for Underworld.

Oh, and $65 for a ticket to this?

Plus, after a teenage raver died in LA a few months ago, this think will be swarming with cops and security.

No, thanks.
