Easter peeves me
Easter originated as a pagan holiday; a time to celebrate the Spring Equinox. Many fail to see that this did not start off in the Christian faith. Many Church holidays are truly pagan holidays, which have been reclaimed and renamed. Really, I’m glad they felt so inclined to have their own holidays and such, but overruling another faith was a little unnecessary.

Tour Mom Says: Lesson #20: Interviewing a Band PART 2
We have touched VERY LIGHTLY on interviewing bands in the past but is time to jump into it!
DO’s
1) Make it feel like a conversation- Don’t just say “Ok, cool” after they finish answering the question, pull from what they say and just let it flow! Watch this interview of Mumford and Sons to…

Humanists are atheists and agnostics who make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values. Humanists take responsibility for their actions and base their ethics on the goals of human welfare, happiness, and fulfilment. Humanists seek to make the best of the one life they have by creating meaning and purpose for themselves; individually and together.

Gig Etiquette: Ten points to remember at your next concert.
It’s no surprise that with a growing music scene comes a whole wave of new fans. Live music can be thrilling, passionate and life-altering experience…if you know what to expect and how to handle yourself. With this in mind, I’ve compiled my well-honed list of points to remember.
Rule #1: If you want to be at the front, you’re gonna have to wait it out. All too often I see people turning up twenty minutes before doors with a shocked look on their face that they will not be in the front row. Never forget that for every band you love, there is a massively dedicated following willing to brave drunken tramps and sub-zero temperatures to be against the barrier.
Rule #2: Manage to get on the barrier? Don’t complain about it. You’ve probably got one of the best views out of however many hundreds of people in the room. The fact of the matter is, these people will not give up the fight to claim your spot- they’re gonna push you, and it’s gonna hurt. This isn’t an excuse to shout “ARGH STOP PUSHING!!”. It’s not the fault of the person behind or next to you, so don’t take it out on them. Especially not with your elbows, you long-limbed cretins. You know who you are.
Rule #3: Be prepared to duck. Just as much as overpriced merch and being doused in beer, crowdsurfers are a way of life in this scene. The way to protect yourself is to prepare yourself. If you see a security guard stand up on the barrier, cover your head because there’s a human missile headed in your direction. If the person falls on you, for the love of god, push them up. It may hurt when their foot is on your neck, but it’ll hurt more when they crush down on you.
Rule #4: Make the security guards your friends. See that setlist on stage? You want it? Talk to the guards before the show and between bands- get to know them, ask them about their day, anything. Not a lot of people appreciate the difficult job they do, so they will respond if you’re nice to them. A little kindness goes a long way, and will reciprocate itself in your new friend looking out for you. Also, this skill is vital when it comes to getting water off of them.
Rule #4: It’s not a fashion show, but consider your outfit carefully. If you don’t want your hair getting pulled, tie it up as tight as you can. A face full of your perm will ruin the night of whoever is stood behind you. Lads, this one is for you: I don’t care how hot and sweaty it is, there is no excuse for ever taking your shirt off. Ever. Also, and this goes for everyone, please shower. It’s never a pleasant experience being crushed together, but your curry armpits will only exacerbate things.
Rule #6: The mosh pit is unforgiving. This one is simple; if you’re afraid of getting a little roughed up, stay the fuck away from the pit. It can be tremendous fun when you’re prepared for it, but you will most likely fall over if you’re not. It’s not so much a case of hurting yourself sometimes- you’ll just look like an idiot.
Rule #7: Respect your fellow gig-goers. If someone needs to get pulled out, or falls over, you help them out. It’s as simple as that. Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you.
Rule #8: Tall people will stand in front of you. Accept it. Do not try and push a tall person out of the way- the reason they’re infront is that they’ve been here longer. Besides, you’re trying to shift someone who’s much larger than you- think of the physics of it. Put up with it or move.
Rule #9: Have fun! You’re there to enjoy yourself! If you have room to dance, by all means dance (note: if you’re in the first two rows, you cannot dance without looking either like a trout out of water or elbowing people in the eye socket). Sing along by all means. Make it a night to remember.
Rule #10: No high heels. Under any circumstances. Ever.
