dr0ne Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Interesting thing i've come accross....Ipecac is a fairly big indie label, they got the melvins, tomahawk and lots of well known bands (well known outside of clubland anyway). Check out this press release:Oct. 18, 2002For immediate release:Ipecac Recordings Label Showcase At CMJ Music Marathon Cancelled Due To Double Booking At The Roxy Nightclub Ipecac Recordings is very disheartened to announce that the Ipecac Label Halloween Showcase party (part of the annual CMJ Music Marathon) has been cancelled by the Roxy Nightclub in New York City. Our sincerest apologies go out to everyone that this affected especially our die hard supporters.It seems that 2 different booking agents at the venue booked 2 different shows for the same night. Although our show was sold out months ago they decided to honor the contract for the other show, DJ Carl Cox. Clear Channel, who was promoting the event suggested that we share the venue but management for Carl Cox declined. The label scrambled to find a suitable venue to move the show to but was unable to find one.According to Ipecac co-owner Greg Werckman, "Yes we stand to lose thousands of dollars because of someone else's ineptness, but the thing that really stings is the fact that over 2000 of our diehard supporters bought tickets, booked flights and hotel rooms months ago. What happens to these people?"Label co-owner Mike Patton (who was scheduled to perform with 2 different bands at the show) added " We started this label 3 and a half years ago as a way to operate differently than what is the norm in the music industry, to be artist friendly and fan friendly. This show was a celebration of what we have built in such a short period of time, a vindication of our goals. Now we stand here apologizing, looking like fools, yet we did nothing wrong and our fans certainly did nothing wrong."We are getting legal advice to determine what to do next. Stay tuned to www.ipecac.com for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
