As it was in the Aereogramme thread. You can't please everyone though. Someone's always got to moan.

There's an idea - you can only have your account deleted if you cut your own ear off and post piccies on the gallery. or paint sunflowers. or something.

not really, as i said these threads, as the areogramme one was, can sometimes just be to build an interest in gigs, yes obvioulsy promotion has to be done in other places and not just here but its a start.

why post that then? why not just post a thread informing us that band x will be playing venue y on day z?

I see it as self gratification - as with the "cancel my account" threads it's just a way of saying "look at me, look at me" and merely feeds the egos of people who think they hold the gig going public in their hands. and that applies to all of these type of threads, not just the one spectified by someone else here.

Depending on the type of band, people don't have time for bands unless their mates in them.
