For those of you in bands
or for those of you who are just interested, what is your policy or what are your thoughts about playing 21+ shows? 18+, etc.

As a fan, I like the age restrictions, but that's cause I don't feel like being surrounded by a bunch of little kids. Yes, I am a mean old bastard.

it's good to mix it up. with a bit of an older sound we always went down better at bars to tell you the truth. people will listen to anything when
they're loaded i guess  we always made a point of playing some all ages shows
though. i always hated not being able to see bands when i was underage.

We always tried to play all-ages. Obviously preferred the bar shows, but playing all-ages always left me really energized and nostalgic.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

All ages shows all the way. However that was back in the mid ninities when things were a little different in hardcore. Now I think I would enojy the
older crowd without the douchebag computer moron kids who sit on their ass and bitch about everything. O and wear gay ass makeup.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I see no point to an 18+ show at all. I get that a 21+ show is because the place wants everyone there to drink, but what does 18+ do to benefit the
club? I think that there are enough places that can be all ages and still serve alcohol so I vote all ages.

with the exception of playing cowbell in edgewise on occasions, i was never really in a band.
but from a band's prospective, i would imagine getting in front of as many ears as possible is the goal. sometimes that means 12+, some times that
means all ages. as an attendee, as much as i don't like feeling like an old guy around a bunch of 16yo toughguys, as long as i can drink, i don't
care.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I guess it's different in the States but you can still drink at an all-ages show up here, at least in Toronto. They check yer ID at the door and give
you a wristband if yer drinking. Anyone caught giving kids a drink get booted, and kids caught drinking get booted.

Play music because it is your outlet. It is your time, and your enjoyment. Fuck the kids. Play all age and 21+. Dont restrain yourself from one or the
other. Play shows and have a good time.

All I know is with me and growing up around hardcore/punk/ hell even some metal I know that it sucked to have a hard time to get into a show because
of age. Sneaking in was a bitch and showin up to a show and finding out that it was 18 or 21 and over really fucking sucked. Especially when most of
the fans were underage. Music is for everyone.

that definitely happens here as well, but i think the law by state, maybe even by town.
