Soulfly/Bloodsimple cancelled- FREE Bloodsimple/Withered sho

withered · Post by **withered** » Fri October 14th, 2005, 4:54 pm

Hey everyone, just spreading the word that apparently the SoulFly/Bloodsimple show for this sunday @ the masquerade has been cancelled (along with every other sunday show) due to recent legislation in the city of Atlanta. In a recent course of action Bloodsimple organized a FREE concert to happen at Alley Cat (Underground Atlanta). they invited Withered (us) to play and there will be one more band TBA. Sooooo.....don't miss the opportunity and come down to a FREE FUCKING SHOW!!!!

Apparently, the only way a venue can have shows on sundays now is if they happen to serve food. So, that's what I heard.

See you there!!

Whoa, what is this new legislation!?

Not really new legislation......the Masquerade's liquor license is under a restaurant law as apposed to a bar law. This is what allows them to have all ages shows. Under this law you have to be able to sell a certain percentage of food to your alcohol sales to be open on Sundays, and the Masquerade does not sell that much food.

thanks for the clarification. I wasn't clear on the details. Just passing on what I was told. Interesting development though. The show last night was pretty good. The place was probably 60% full so I'd say maybe 100 people came out. Oh, and i ate a good grilled chicken sandwich. yummy.

How is alley cat's for shows? I think the Exhumed show is going to happen there.

It's about the right size for that kind of show. being in undergruond, it's kinda tough to get to but they serve booze until 4am!!!! I'd def play there again. The sound could be a little better but that's probably because the board is to the right of the stage so the sound man can't really hear the mix while at the board. Monitors were good for us.

yeah, I tried to let everyone know via myspace, email, etc. It was put together on friday so we were all just scrambling to make it happen. Luckily it came together and everything was cool.

Actually, that is the answer to "Why are there so many drive-bys in Clayton County?" but thanks for playing.

Ah, we had that shit when I lived in Auburn. The ratio had to be 51% to 49%, though I don't remember which was food and which was alcohol. All the bars in Auburn (all 2 or 3 of them) operated as restaurants during the day to get meet the ratio.
