Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hey, go eat a bowl of candy-coated fuck. I am an award-winning professional journalist with 20 years of experience writing for papers with over 15,000 circulation. I am dead serious about my work. If the band didn't think it was worth their time talking to our publications, that's fine, but I think it was bad form for their PR people, after they promised our publisher an interview, to not follow through. And no, I did not bring VC into it. I agree with you there - it would not have been professional. Your concluding sentences seem to contradict the angry tone in the first part of your post. My new motto: Don't take anything said to you on the interwebs personally. These people don't know me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 That's why.Unless you kept that bit of info to yourself. If not, next time keep it to yourself.Being an obsessive poster on a band's message board comes off as unprofessional. No one is telling you not to, go ahead if it makes you happy, just don't expect it to necessarily endear you to the band and their camp. Likely the opposite.Just an FYI.

Bhickman Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hello all, I am new to the forums and I was hoping someone could tell me how to contact the members of the band. I am trying to set up a surprise engagement for their show in Richmond, VA. and I need some way of contacting the band, I have already emailed their management, booking and media agents. Thank you all so much for your help. If you're looking to book them, then their booking agent is the way to go. If they won't get back to you it most likely means that they don't want to do the gig.
