Band: Bastions (facebook.com/bstns)
Where: Somewhere in the UK.
ED: I put Bastions on in Southsea with Our Time Down Here and Kerouac around 2010 time; 15 people showed up. Me and my co promoter Adam lost a few buck. Still, it was the first time I saw BSTNS and it's been a love affair ever since. I'd like to hope Danny would class us more like the first promoters he refers to in the following rant...
No one ever begrudges a bad promoter with enthusiasm. In fact, those are the ones we always let off the hook and usually end up giving a second chance. You know the sort; the sort that are really hyper, plug the gig loads on Facebook but precious little else. The sort that look heartbroken when all the promises of attendance inevitably fall through and the gig is a standard midweek mildly attended bust. You can never fault good intentions and enthusiasm. Those are the people who will probably be first in the line buying your merch, both online and at the show. We like these people.
You can, however, fault any promoter that doesn't even come to the show.
