  1. is completely wrong - if people BUY stock the price RISES - as the act of buying means there's less shares around thus making those shares still on the market worth more, the price falls when people sell - as the shares are easier to find, they are thus worth less... thus when people dump £100,000 worth of shares, it can start a run on the value, as people see the price drop, so dump their shares too, trying to get the best price before the shares are worthless.. and so the cycle continues
  2. yep here in woodseats too... about 20 seconds? huge rumble - house shook!!
  3. yeah, i've put on shows there before it changed hands and they were busy, but a lot of promoters/venues seem to forget to "promote" simply having the show on isn't enough... also they had a (stupid imo) policy of block booking their nights out to different promoters, so you couldn't book the venue itself for a one off show, they never seemed to get rid of promoters who were pulling in no one... destined to failure... as for the academy the main problem will be the small room will cost more than most are willing to pay to hire if it uses a similar pricing to the other academy venues.
  4. yeah municipal waste is now at the casbah august 9th 8pm start, and i agree it should be a mental show, they've specifically requested intimate venues as they're looking for a great atmosphere! glad you enjoyed the leatherface show - that was another of mine
  5. like i said - i'm not sure of all the facts, but was correcting a couple of yours that were blatently wrong - if you see from my post i have no sympathy for my friends actions, just that from the small amount of info gleaned there was some build up.... it's like the previous poster was saying the landlord came in and did nothing - by the time he came into the toilet it was all over bar a tiny scuffle, the headbutt and the whacks had already taken place, the damage was done, i know there seems to have been people asking not to press charges, but the landlord gave a statement naming the attacker to the police, friend or no friend, so i can't see what more he was supposed to do.... if as your stating there was no build up to the fight, there would have been no way to pre-empt any of it would there....
  6. the guy in question is only 5 ft 5....must be the mohican adding to the illusion of him being big... and he was going through a hard time - he suffers from depression, and was off work at the time due to this - though i don't think this condones any of his actions, neither did/do most of the people he drinks in the pub with, - there was some build up to the fight though from what i can gather.... but again nothing to provoke this reaction.... your infos a bit wrong- there are no bouncers at the dove n rainbow, haven't been for at least the last 8 years..... when the imposter posted i was racking my brains about a fight, though when you posted i remembered this one had taken place (i'm not in there that often anymore)... this has been the only serious incident i can think of from the last 5-7 years, as goldenfleece points out - whilst the pub may not be to everyones taste decor wise/beer wise/music wise, it's got to be one of the safest places to drink in central sheffield in terms of incidents...
  7. trouble is they don't have the singer any more, it's one of the brass guys who does it, and they ain't anywhere as good as they were... some people have seen them recently so word is around that they aren't as good, so you'd see a dip in attendance.... grapes, dnr live or cricketers are still your best bets...
  8. this friday 11th November at DnR Live, 7pm start.... Voodoo Glow Skulls - the legendary ska punks from the US plus Freaks Union, Grown at Home and the arguments then the follwoing Saturday 19th November Streetlight Manifesto, Crack Rock Steady 7 (leftover Crack side project), Uncle Brian, Mingers, Infested, $up, Random Hand this ones at the Plug.... should assuage your skankin needs....
  9. the cricketers and grapes are fine with punk gigs, myself and rich (bickles cab) hold about 50 punk gigs a year between us in sheffield, both at these two venues and DnR live and Zero (the plug), we've had one incident at Zero and one at the Grapes - both the same lad. i'm afraid your experience is just that, your experience, we're welcome (in fact more than welcome) at all the other venues - After city invasion this summer at The Foundry (Sheff Uni) where we had around 900 punks & skins in, the bar manager actually told Penny it made a change to deal with a pleasant crowd... ultimately punk shows involve pretty hectic dancing, it was never a sedate scene, the rough and tumble goes hand in hand with the music.... if you want sedate & polite book shoe gazing indie... Dave - as carcrash said you need a PA for the cricketers, but on the other hand they only charge a nominal hire fee - or it may be free depending on the night etc, the grapes is only slightly bigger and charge £60-£80 or something in that region but has a PA and an engineer (who is there solely to turn off all the monitors and mic up your stuff just to turn it all off and complain that your backline is too loud)... but the bands you've listed unless you can get them to play on a door take and then charge a cheap door £3 or something won't get that big a crowd in sheffield - there's not much of a traditional Oi scene left - and the other punk bands you've listed mean nothing to none of the younger punk kids.. they're not big fans of the whole reforming bands scenario....
  10. deadline - one of the top UK oi/streetpunk bands + burnsubvertdestroy+ worm + scum dnr live october 29th #should cater for all your Oi needs... no rules for all the info
  11. i put on quite a few shows at zero and they always are 14+, not sure whether the new venue will have this policy, but ringing the club is the best bet
  12. the dove and rainbow is about as alternative as it gets, it's in hartshead square behind the bankers draft/pizza hut on high street... normally has some punks and metallers in, with some indie kids and goths.... jukebox ranges from clash/pistols/exploited via maiden/sabbath/metallica to stone roses/smiths/pop will eat itself.... landlord is a die hard poppies/wonderstuff fan.... decor is cool as well, paper mache metallers, punks, skins and rastas on the wall, tiger and leopard print is de rigour for the chairs and the DJ booth is half a caravan.... there's no other pub in sheffield like it.... always a good atmosphere and has tables outside so it's not too warm in hot weather... apart from that the Nelson, Washington, Sportsman, Devonshire cat are the other accepted alternative pubs...
  13. there's also loads of punk bands in sheffield, who exist completely under the radar of the popular music press / promoters etc yet are probably more succesful than their "indie" cousins....and normally out live the quick flash in the pan bands as well.... Bickles Cab - been around over 5 years, 2 albums out, a single and numerous compilation appearances, off this september for their 6th euro tour, these are pretty brutal political hc punk, normally to be seen in sheffield at least once every couple of months BurnSubvertDestroy - only in existance a year but spawned from a couple of bands who were in existance in the 90's, they've just played the London astoria to 1600 as part of an all day punk fest, also been to europe twice, album due out soon, numerous comp appearances.... more melodic punk, sorta early 80's sound but with bigger singalong choruses...interview and playback on total rock radio sometime soon... then we have Power Corrupts - fast punk with the odd ska break....keep an eye on these.... Narcotix - 100 mph hc thrash, they share a couple of members with power corrupts yet have a completely different sound... again another band going places the Legacy - straightforward HC are also huge in europe, i beleive they are off later this month for a fourth time, just completed a UK tour... also around are the stigmatix, earth od, the hyeanas and probably some more i've forgotten....
  14. yeah mike muir has a recurring back injury, which he actually toured with last time they came over, and ended with him having injections before the start of every show, just to get through 45-60 minutes... it flared up again before this tour so the german promoters postponed to give him time to get over it.... return your ticket to whence it was purchased and they will refund in full
