    LOL, I can't even believe they let you guys play @ Pontiac. No offense, of course, but it's definitely not a psy venue. I used to live right by there and I couldn't believe it was the same place when I saw the flier for the event last summer. That place is like Jack Rabbit Slims from Pulp Fiction ๐Ÿ˜€ (at least that's what it looks like on the outside)

    If anyone would like to discuss this seriously in person let me know. I figure the initial pitch to the venue would be like… 4-5 weekends. I'm sickeningly booked for Feb already, though I don't think I've reached my limit to what I can take on quite yet.

    I will be down to help out and play progressive/morning psy. There is even worse music scene here in Milwaukee but I always manage to get awesome responses every time I play in local clubs/bars.

    I have had pretty good luck integrating psy by shmoozing each and every mofo in the local scene. It might also help if you'd start throwing shows, Machi. Maybe offer to help out a local crew and get your foot in the door that way.

    what kind of shows do you mean? like radio shows or just parties? I did a bunch of events with 3.14 in the local club over here in Milwaukee but it wasn't going anywhere. I don't know if it was because different approach to the subject from each of us or what but I have been looking for a better venue and more enthusiastic, like-minded people in the area for a quite while now.

    Trance does not work in Milwaukee.. House barely goes over anymore..

    Club ? is a industrial/goth club, that I never saw many people in there anyway. Not like I went the more than 3 times though.

    I played psy in Riverwest a couple of times. Sometimes it went over sometimes it didn't. The bartenders hated it..

    You could try Moct, but it will be the same old 3/4th of the crowd not paying attention or caring what is playing. I've seen prog trance/house being played there.

    However, the Bassnectar show was pretty packed. Halloween near UWM probably helped. Maybe getting in with the local burner crowd may help.

    Actually it wasn't that bad in Club? to a point.ย  I would draw only by myself about 20 people every time (mostly my polish and russian friends, few americans) but I was really tired of the owner being a complete duchebag (hostile – would be a good word too) and lack of effort and ability to bring anyone in from 3.14. Bartender loved the stuff I played there, LOL.
    Now, I spin progressive and melodic full-on aprox. twice a month in Six Degrees but I wouldn't put down anything harder than that over there. You should come and check it out sometime, Scott.

    Ignore these jaded haters ๐Ÿ™‚

    It can be done.

    I'm from the town that HATES psytrance.

    You gotta join the team or fight them. Become integral to their scene. They will break eventually. Maybe throw your own parties…

    I certainly see the mindoutpsyde guys getting cross bookings from groups that profess to dislike psy…
