requests from who?
there's a bunch of "requests" for joe coffee on this board alone
while i like some of the bands on the show, joe coffee was the selling point to me and thought it was cool that you booked them on this show and were
throwing a little something different into the mix
esp. being that paul has been involved in all this crap for as long as he has

I attended several of the Beer Olympics in Atlanta and there was never an issue at all. The closest there came to any drama was when our dipshit old
guitar player got caught drinking under age and almost got us tossed out after we drove all the way to Atlanta from Boston. The only reason he's still
alive is because they let him play and then kicked his fat ass out again immediately after out set.
Anyway.... point being. It is possible to have a good oi show without any drama. Hopefully this works out.
It really would take an appearance by the Anti-Heros to get me out of the house to see an oi show at this point. Maybe Oxymoron. Maybe Those Unknown.
If the show was local. I'd travel for the Anti-Heros.

I'm not convinced yet. I think they will be back again one day. Like Frosty the Snowman..... Mark Noah the Oi-man.

about JC, i love how "they deserve more than a 20 minute set" means "so, I bumped them entirely so they didn't have to feel bad after playing a 20
minute set."
about GOTR, they're seriously bad. but i understand that dumbass punk rock kids will pay $35 of mommy and daddy's cash to see them, so it makes sense
to have them on the bill. i get that, and totally understand and appreciate the perspective of a promoter dropping more cash than i can imagine to
host this fest.
since they're not on the flyer now, i guess pist 'n broke got dropped, too. flyer design is weird to me, since i expect "biggest" acts to be most
visible.a "youthful offenders" reunion (since they broke up years ago, and i haven't heard about them getting back together) should be a big deal...
their vulture rock album was one of the more memorable of the late 90s US oi scene. wretched ones are barely noticeable, while tradesmen (who?) are
near the top... but anyone who's ever seen the wretched ones play would be thrilled to see them again. seriously, who are the tradesmen? is this a
band i shouldn't be missing but have so far?
and i'm with gavin on the respect thing towards paul. i don't think of joe coffee as being punk, since they have a wider range of influences and
instruments in their music, so maybe they don't belong. but if roger miret felt like taking five minutes to shit into his hand onstage, i think they
guy has put in enough dues to get a chance. i may not like it, but i'd rather give that guy a chance to do something new than see some lousy
"up-and-comer" that should have hung it up like the coat-hanger abortion his mom should've gone through with.

I don't think any rational argument can be made for dropping Joe Coffee.
Alot of those bands just have some awful turdpunk names.

while at my friends show on saturday a bunch of us were sitting around getting bombed, surprise, but my boy Volpe is like "yo Quinn when's Joe Coffee
comin round again?"...some other dude is like "oh they're on that Oi Fest thing, it got moved to Philly"...I had to be the game killer and break the
bad news to these guys.
JC is great, and for the life of me, I just can't understand why they are not huge. Everyone I play them to, and I have forced it on many, has ended
up really diggin it. Not just the old Sheer Terror freaks, but even some old heads i know who aren't into the hardcore thing.
side note, Volpe's boy Frank was there and we were sure to remind him of the time he passed out on the stage at the Troc when they played years
ago....he wil never live that one down...

first off, i want nothing to do with scene gossip.
i enjoy being one of the least informed and out of touch participants in the scene.
as for hte blank posting...
each member has the ability to edit (and I think) delete their own post after the posting.
may have posted, then decided to retract.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

that was a great night.
first, the main show downstairs... all the kids cleared out after cky essentially leaving clutch to put on a private performance for me. THEN Joe
Coffee upstairs afterward.
And as for that dude Frank...
it wasn't just that he passed out sitting up on the edge of the stage, but that Paul leaned on the guy with his foot like he was a monitor while he
was passed out.
I took a bunch of pics that night. more on http://sequencer.com , link to gallery at the bottom of the page.

Okay...
After emails,bulletin posts,feelings of disappoinment,and disparaging remarks (mostly on my end,I'll admit) - Craig called me,and we discussed the
situation that grew between us.He had thought that I was just being a jerk that was pissed for being dropped,until he read my last post in the other
thread.He didn't realize just how much the show does indeed mean to us,as a band,as we always end up getting overlooked for the latest "flavor".This
is going to be a big event,and it felt like we were going to be ignored,yet again,as we normally are for "big events".Nevermind that we truly believe
we'll go over much better on this bill than we would with the majority of what's being passed off for hardcore these days.
Not to mention that I've been a huge Cockney Rejects fan since I was at least 13 years old...!
He came to a few realizations,and apologized for making us feel slighted.I came to a few realizations,myself,and I hereby apologize for being a little
pig-headed in my choice of words."Heat of battle",one might call it.
Bottom line - Craig invited us back to play the Oi! Fest,and we accepted.Joe Coffee will get it's fair shake for once.Both parties are looking forward
to this show,and to seal the deal over a stiff drink.
Thank You.

Note: I edited my posts concerning the debacle that was.There's no need to rehash old crap,or feed into any "drama".They come up blank,because I don't
know how to delete them!
