Kid Kenobi?

From Australia, Kid Kenobi has mixed the last two Ministry of Sound Guides to Breaks. Reigning Dj of the year twice in a row in Australia. Who here's heard of him?
Better yet, would anyone come out to a club night with him?

I guess this is the same kind of situation as the Lee Coombs night. Only the breaks heads know about him...

Whatever any show can be sold, just have to promote it right.....

Kid Kenobi is dope, but A LOT of peeps don't know him, and as far as saying only breaks heads know him...well duh... of course, but thats your core crowd, you got them, just have to sell it to the masses... fuck if I had a dollar for everyone I took a chance on.... you have to promote to educate... thats the only way the scene keeps making ground.

Its a risk to bring someone like this out. 50 ppl might show up, and then where does that leave us?

Why do you think people like tony faline keep getting booked? Because hes a name. Kid Kenobi isn't.

Why dont you bring him out and lose 2g's?

Whoa slow down homes.... 2g's what the fuck kind of pay does this guy want.... he ain't worth 2g's.... dude relax I was just saying that you have to promote shows HARD when no one knows who the person is. And now that you mention it, yeah maybe I will bring Kid Kenobi.... nobody knew who half the DJs I've brought here over the years and we seem to always come out on top..... Book your Faline's and Huda's.... play safe.

Well, its called math.
-Flights from Sydney=$1200 before taxes.
-2 nights hotel=160
-dj fee=at least 500, but probably nearer 1000.
-club fee(if we dont sell enough liqour) =?

Thats OVER 2 grand.

Sorry dude, that's weak! Why do you think Kid Kenobi isn't name out here? Like Soda said, those who know will support, you gotta promote to get the rest out. Kid Kenobi is a name everywhere but here, make people aware. I'd promote this if I could, cause the money is not my main concern.

Money isnt our main concern. If it was, tickets for history of breaks wouldnt have been 10 and 15 bux for half of the total tickets sold. We're not a big company yet, where we can afford to lost 2 grand in one night.

Im all for supporting good music, and fresh acts, but im not for losing that much money. We're going to look into it more though, keep an eye out.

If they're in North America. Flights from Europe arent as bad as australia, but they're still pricey.
Its just too bad that australia's all the way down there. The DJ talent they have down there would knock this city on its ass.

If Kid Kenobi is as good as his hype, chances are he's gonna tour North America once he gets a few more production credits under his belt... Chances are he'd be hitting Seattle and all you gotta do is get him to come here. You could drive down and pick him up. If you fly the dude out from Australia and he asks for another grand on top of that, you should laugh at him. He's just a DJ, and he's only a superstar in Australia. Get him here, show him Vanvouver, let him crash on your couch, fill the club and maybe you'll break even. I doubt you'll be losing 2g's.

Aaron NAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dont bring kid kanobie from australia, Id only see him to here that accnent, then again hes a sydney wanker like them all eh?

Persponaly I like Q45 way better and still have to lend you the cd he did with krafty *Yum*

If you had to bring an Australian DJ it would so have to be Ritual, Matt and Kyla, or your fav Emme *wink, wink, wink*

But Australia's real up coming star is JOHN DEVECIS!!!!
*orgasim noise*



The main reason Australia had so much talent was because they had so much suport to bring out the real big names, we could never imagine coming to vancouver!!!
