Seattle NYE Apocalypse DJs never got paid?

[wishbone]

Read this on another forum, rough quote:

LOL the biggest disaster in Seattle history. NONE of the DJs got paid. Ed Rush & Optical left because Jeree didn't have thier money. That dude is so scanalous. He's fucked so many people over I'm amazed that anyone went to that silly party.

Hahaha is this true?

[**BISCUIT**]

It is very true.


Jerree didnt pay half or more of his DJs. Darude and J00f Played for free just for the kids....


It's pretty wack.

it was MAD wack.. the laser /lights guys didn't get paid either, not to mention abunch of ppl who helped put it together.

[NeVeRLooKBacK]

thats really horrible
but at least darude J00f still played
that is very respectable of then

[Filo]

Ztrip had to setup his own shit because the sound guy didn't get paid

[dabbler]

it happens with all the time with normally solid promoters.
doesn't surprise me in the least.

yeah, locals not getting paid is one thing, happens all of the time, but not paying your headliners EVEN WHEN THEY'RE REFUSING TO PLAY WITHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THEIR PAY and then not having them play because of that is a whole other kind of wack. from the looks of it if both darude and J00F decided to not play because they didn't get payed (as opposed to sucking it up and playing anyways) that would have been quite the thing, no?

not in seattle man, this is bullshit.. this is not a normally solid promoter.. this was str8 cuz the promoter overbooked their show, and also, because they are shady, and have screwed people in the past.. they give seattle's promoters a bad name...

[dabbler]

yep, and actually i thought this thing was restricted to the big vancouver promoters. i'm suprised that seattle would support a promoter like that. i guess ravers not caring is universal.

[phatisphat]

dude thats freakin weak, I'm glad that I decide not to go...

btw, whats the other forums web address, it would probably be an interestin read...

[wishbone]

it was an aside to a thread i posted up of videos of z-trip...it's just a general bullshit forum, www.genmay.com

^there should be..mind you its kind of understandable that they played for free, JOOF came all the way from europe...its not like he'd just come and then leave again without playing. but yeah fuck...seattle promotors are going to get a load of shit on there backs cuz of this one.

[sNyx]
