It will be great to see Kimball again! When he played at the Box a year (or two) ago before John Bishop he rocked the house and I've wanted to see him again ever since. Great booking by Tripwire!

You people are forgetting Hernan Cattaneo (Oakey's opener). This guy is is suppost to be something else. ;)

[MarQ]

John Johnson, Kimbal Collins and federal......
what a way to start off this slamming new night at LSC!

being ass raped by a open umbrella is better then $40 to see Oakenfold thow his hands up in the air all night.....

Josh, remember the set Dave Ralph put on prior to Oakey in 2000? I bet Cattaneo's will be equaly impressing. Never said he justifies the $$ though. It's hard to say though since neither of us has heard him live (I do have his CD though).

Yeah major props from T-rav too Christian. I like the flavor that your trying to instil into LSC.

Keep up the world class bookins! :)

[Dj Federal]

Trav, you forgot that Oaky's running the show and paying Hernan's salary....Hernan's gonna have to throw his set to make Oaky look like he's still the man:) kinda like what I'm gonna have to do with Kimball;)

AMEN! its great to see not so firmilar faces like Acosta, and even better to see NEW talent like John Johnson come out, please I beg you keep bringing new people....

[LocDog]

kimball collins?
hahahhahahahahaha.

i bet it will be a fun show though. i'd even like to see k.c. myself. his mixing amuses me.

Your right Chad, but what I'm saying is that the show is worth going to because Catteneo is opening. The show isn't even the same night as the J.J / K.C. show, it's the next night (14th).

Oakey blew up:
Dave Ralph, Timo Mass, D:Fuse, and now Hernan Cattaneo

very true, i'd love to see Catteneo, he's the man, but don't think it's worth that price to see him open.

Anyone here seen J.J before? He was suppost to be at "It's still like that" a couple years ago but didn't make it. Don't recall him playing any club gigs here before? I really like his track "London". Looking forward to this one.

I know that...i just had to slip in the part about where I was going to "give the next guy a chance to sound good" comment:) I'll probably go to Oaky if I can get out of bed on Saturday... Friday nights at the supper can be lots of wear and tear on the liver.....and watch out for those stairs;)

[nicktornetta]

oo john johnson.. might have to come check this out! excellent lineup guys!

he played at ISLT...he went on late due to some timeslot changes so he didn't start until around 430... he had about 3,000 peeps in his room going crazy so I say he was rockin' it...he has also played at the Showbox when he became available for a last minute booking... we threw together a Saturday night show with only a little over a week to promote...the Showbox was probably a little less than half full, but when Mr Johnson was spinning he had everyone dancin' which is a hard thing to do when you don't have a packed house...Christian was in attendance and heard John's set and this is why he's back for their opening night....should be a kick in the pants...

[prog-lover]

Yeah I knew you'd probably seen him before Chad. I must not have stayed til 4:30 @ ISLT. Damn, I wish I could have cought him. :(

[Dj Federal]

did you see Taylor that night?? If I remember right you were at the Taylor show when he spun at the Showbox... If you did catch both of his sets, compare them and give me a little feedback....

[mercuria]

so it only took me a couple of weeks to realize why J.J. sounds familiar...it's 'cuz i actually HEARD him at ISLT. not like i'm not at LSC on a weekly basis anyways, but count me it...Christian, i'm your slave for as long as you keep 'em coming.

of course, the downstairs with the top 40 medley and pussy galore is a bit disturbing and irritating, but i understand that that's where the $$$$ is coming to LSC from.

we are re-inventing the basement into a lounge with downtempo and maybe some hip-hop, lots of seating, no dance floor, coctail waitresses, etc..

more details to follow...

:eek: Yeah that cheezy commercial stuff I hate to. Myself and many others have suggested a simulcast when intl. talent plays there. By this I mean playing the set from up stairs over the system downstairs as well. It would eliminate one floor from being so packed and the other not and you can enjoy the headliner downstairs.

[Christian]

that's a good idea but you have to realize that not everyone who attends the LSC is into trance and house and we need to cater to more than one crowd or the night will not be sustainable.

[itsallaboutthemusic]

...but for some reason a couple times lately ive found myself all loaded-up downstairs pumping my fist to that '98 trance we all know and love(??)

Yeah I guess your right on there Christian. When I talk to people at LSC and they bitch about the music (generally chicks) I just say, "Tiki Bob's is right down the street". Ha, Ha.

that is the best thing I have heard all year!!!! I know a lot of people Dont like going to supper club when big names are there because there is no room. I think on night like judge Jules you dont need to worry about adding to the draw wiht downstaris.

NO, not gangster style hip-hop, just some mainstream shit mixed in with some house, plus we wouldn't let hoods and gangsters in the door anyway.

I did see Taylor at ISLT but not at showbox. His set was solid from what I remember (2 years ago).

MAN, YOU GUYS ARE MAKING WAY TOO MUCH OF THIS. WE AREN'T DOING A HIP HOP NIGHT. THE MUSIC DOWNSTAIRS WILL BE DOWNTEMPO AND DEEP HOUSE, YOU MIGHT HEAR SOME HIP-HOP MIXED IN BUT THAT WILL BE THE EXTENT OF IT.

The focus downstairs will be the lounge atmosphere, the music will be background music at low volumes, it will be a place to get away from the harder music upstairs, a place to chill, talk with some girls and have a cocktail waitress serve you a drink, just trust us on this one, it's going to be a great addition to the night.

Calm down Christian. I know what you were saying bro, I was just stating that at one time I'd heard H.H. downstairs. That was all!

I'm all for the new layout.

I second that...at least three times too many, but the reason for that is free drinks. However, last saturday night i found myself dancing (and simulataneously knocking out one of the bartenders with my ultra-smooth dance move a-la Lady Marmalade) to some '93 hip-hop we all know and love as well...NOOOOOO....NOOOOO hip-hop, please. that's what's bringing all the hoochies there. leave that to DownUnder. :eek:

[prog-lover]

:rolleyes:

[ThrobbingBass]

I think I hear what Christian's saying... and it isn't because I'm the one that always sticks up for hip-hop.
I remember at Zig-Zag the bartender always used to put on the real smooth sh*t, down low, mixed in with downtempo and "trip-hop/acid jazz" (I know those terms are done for, but...). It made for a real cool vibe. I truly doubt that Christian meant that you would walk downstairs to "Move Bitch, Get out the way" at full volume.
A lot of people forget the digable planets/Guru/Jazzmatazz/Pete Rock side of hip-hop. It's the sh*t you never hear at hip-hop night, because it isn't really dance music. Great for loungin', though!!

Oh, and the other thing... if hoodies show up to a trance show at the LSC, I will not only sh*t myself, I will take a picture of it and post it on this site. I don't think anybody has much to worry about. Most people that everybody on here is so afraid of would probably make the decision not to come in based on what they could hear coming out the front door of the club from the parking lot across the street.
Anyway.

[itsallaboutthemusic]

WHAT??? youre starting up a hip-hop night at lsc? friggin sellout...;)

[prog-lover]

.............:o Booooring

How about Kimball Collins? Like him, love'm, hate'm?

[Christian]

OK, that's it, you guys asked for it, from now on it's a straight hip hop night upstairs and downstairs.

[FREEEZZ]

It's great to see a solid production crew bringing in headliners every week. remninds me of the old days and hypes me up for the future

[trip2knight]

Hey its JOSH KNIGHT here!!! Just putting in a plug :) :) :) :) Nice work TripWire, keep me informed on the downstairs :)

[alzheimerz]

Not really sure if I remember correctly...Wasn't Tripwire once a very creative production company that brought more to the scene than just a headliner???? I can't remember, but it seems as though they used to put on shows somewhere else that had something more for the followers other than just the same ol' thang....A suggestion may be, put the TRIP back in Tripwire...I understand the booking costs for the talent, but people want an experience....some shock value. I know the downstairs "Supa" lounge is a step in the right direction... let's see what we can put down there to ad some real flavor...Will someone please explain the name Tripwire to me????? I though it kinda symbolized creativity... Christian, pick up the creative slack for your partner and put a little sizzle back in the show....

Yes, you are correct, we did try many different and unique things during our short stint at the Showbox but we received a huge backlash from people calling it cheesy and accusing us of taking the focus off the music, we quickly realized that Seattle isn't LA or Vegas and our ideas were not received well in this city, BUT I like the suggestion and I think you are right, we will try to find a happy medium for this new night and add some elements of production while keeping the focus on the music.

[mercuria]

The point about seattle not being LA or vegas is something that i have pondered on more than one occasion. I know quite a number of people who travel all over the country on their business trips and can't stop bragging about how wonderful, funky, smooth, flashy, boisterous, crazy, etc. Dallas, LA, NY and other major cities are. Yet, when they get their sorry asses down to Seattle, they do nothing but stay in their cozy little Kirkland, chug down beer, and talk about how Seattle doesn't have a scene. they don't DO anything but COMPLAIN and that is Seattle's woe, i believe. If someone dares to bring the flash and the spark to Sea-town, there are immediate voices arousing from everywhere, with objections and accusations of taking the focus off the music. When it comes to actually going out and making the BEST of what Seattle has to offer, there are very few people who actually do it. I try, school and work schedule permitting. But sometimes i just get angry.

aight., didn't really mean to vent. but God, it's so F***ING frustrating.

[alzheimerz]

I remeber clearly, walking into the Showbox and being greeted by a 9 or 10 ft. being dressed in all white...I was Trippin!! as was most everyone.
The hype that was created by this sort of thing is what drives a night. People appreciate this kind of thing...Dressing two fellas in silver cowboy hats...yes, you are right Cheesy...I'm talkin bout doing the creative off the wall shit that whipped the club into a frickin frenzy. There is room for this kind of thing in our scene...Has nothing to do with Vegas or LA. We can't be led entirely by our followers.. they will appreciate a production crew willing to stretch their minds AND be known for bringing in the MAJOR talent...To me, and excuse me if my opinion differs from most...I want all of my senses to be fucked with. What makes people talk at work on Monday....

huh, never quoted myself before.

[TRWICKED]

I really dig his I.C.U disk "Generation Trance" and he use to make wicked tracks with Deckard, on their label together.

When we brought him up to Seattle in 96 'or 97'...He was a bit of a ass to be honest. Hope he has changed his attitude. :)

Did play a good set for us though. :)
I for sure will be going to check him out.

[ThrobbingBass]

I think that the idea of creating an atmosphere is dead-on.
I'm in full support of doing more to create a scene than just bringing in the dj's.. It's what most of us did before we had budgets anyway, right? I can't afford to get a big dj, but I can drop $50 on decorations....

[zorica]

i don't know how mercuria missed out on mentioning this, and perhaps it's not appropriate for this thread, but there is NO room at lsc. converting the already crowded downstairs into a lounge is crap. removing dancefloor space is never the answer. okay, so i understand it's all about the image for lsc - i have been there on many an occasion, but there are options. why not change the upstairs... bring back the full-length couches? why not open the vip room (yes, i know there is one, and i know where it is) and use that for a lounge. lsc stands for last supper CLUB, where club is derived from danceclub, as in dancing takes place there. seriously, it's bad enough trying to walk thru the upstairs already without inciting five-seven brawls when you're just trying to get to the bathroom. take away the dancefloor downstairs and you're just going to wreak havoc. if someone wants to sit down, then they should get up, go outside and go home.

[itsallaboutthemusic]

huh, i sat here for like 5 min trying to think of some type of reply to that, and all i came up with was:

incredibly well stated.

the downstairs plan sounds good to me, but yes, i had totally forgotten about the space issue upstairs. hmmmmm

[ThrobbingBass]

Just out of curiosity, when you were weaving your way towards the bathroom, and almost inciting 5-7 brawls... were any of those people dancing?
No. They weren't. They were there trying to get laid and be part of the scene. Which is the portion of the club that belongs in the lounge.

[Dj Federal]

I think there will be plenty of room left for people after they turn it into a lounge environment...they aren't going to completely pack the downstairs full of couches, they are just going to add a few and make it more of a lounge atmosphere....I like the idea because with the crowd that LSC attracts seems about 1/2 like to dance and the other 1/2 like to mingle...

I'm sticking to my guns and challenge any promoter doing shows at LSC to give the above a try. It may not work, but you'll never know unless you try. If the shows are going to be focusing more on "the music" then this is exactly what the night needs. If people want to sit around and try to get laid, then they should go to Medusa! :rolleyes:

(If not,I like the loungy feel downstairs rather then the usual cheez though.)

The problem is that THEY THINK THEY ARE DANCING. if you put the lounge downstairs and tell them that they have to go and bumb'n'grind there, very few of them would go dancing there indeed. They will insist on staying upstairs, shaking their j-lo-attired asses at the fifteen boys in leather jackets, all named Juliano, who stand by the stage, hoping to get laid.

[alzheimerz]

It seems to me that the space near the restrooms in the basement of the club is usually always nearly vacant..An occasional tweaker may be found huddled up next to it's helper... Use this space more wisely...
I sat at a table in the basement near the bar for about 30 minutes this past friday night and watched as the 2 booths next to me sat empty...
And why doesn't LSC open the VIP room in the basement to the Friday night crowd? Quit hoarding the space! Keep it monitored and you can keep your red velvet couches looking nice and wiothout cig burns. In revealing myself as one of the original three that started Tripwire I will say that the production end of the gig has all but diminished...It doesn't have to be as flashy as an LA or NYC..Most seem to think that we are dealing with hillbillies and rednecks...Seattle can and will support a creative scene. Okay stilt walkers and fire dancers are played out I understand this...BUT, Opening the mind and the willingness to stretch the minds of the followers will create a shocking enviroment... And get people talking on Monday morning at work or school. I beat the pavement for endless hours promoting with Tripwire and spent alot of creative energy putting together the production end of the gig. It sucks to see the lack of creativity...I will hand it to Christian, He has a great booking ability and a very creative mind and deserves kudos over and over for running a tight knit club night. I am simply partial to the idea of sending some "WTF!" through the minds of the crowds. I understand the "Keep it real" and "love of the music" mentallity but as a promoter you should constantly be attempting to reach out to people...A flyer won't always do it.. an artistic display of WTF!" will...word spreads...
Maybe I'm completely wrong..I will say this, the talent at these shows will be 1st class.

Someones getting serious here......I myself just dont see SEATTLE supporting the FLASHYNESS that is being asked for here!

[Christian]

You must understand that bringing talent to a club like The Last Supper, you will attract two crowds, (and you must have both crowds to sustain the night, high numbers keeps the cover low), the crowd that demands good music and wants to dance and the crowd that is into the scene. From what i understand the people on this board are of the former and usually are irritated by the latter. Another frequent complaint from this board is the lack of dance space at this venue. SO, in an effort to cater to both crowds we have created two different atmospheres, the lounge for the scene and the dance/ music arena for the music lovers. i would think that the dancers would be happy that we are trying to reduce the non-dancing crowd upstairs by moving them downstairs. Of coarse this is all theory at the present time and if it doesn't work then we'll try something else, and we're always open to suggestions.

I for sure will be going to check him out.

We booked him two years ago and was really cool, he's probably chilled out since 96 because now he's a totally chill and easy going guy.

I guess it depends on your definition of flashy...Flashy is not what I am getting at...To me, flashy is Club Rubber. Can I ask you your opinion however? What is it, in your mind that makes the people in Seattle sooo much different than other cities? Are we that conservative? Am I hearing that Seattle is just stuck with it's blinders on with no ability to adopt some... a tiny bit even, of "Flash" as you put it? Makes for a very Repetitive scene to me. I guess I'm just stuck on my vision that Seattle needs an injection of something outside the nine dots.

Hey Travis. Why don't you put your money where your opininionated mouth is!You sure seem to know a lot about running a night. Lets see you blow something up.

What is it, in your mind that makes the people in Seattle sooo much different than other cities? Are we that conservative? Am I hearing that Seattle is just stuck with it's blinders on with no ability to adopt some... a tiny bit even, of "Flash" as you put it? Makes for a very Repetitive scene to me. I guess I'm just stuck on my vision that Seattle needs an injection of something outside the nine dots.

Well I personally would like to see more FLASH or a BIT of VEGAS or SAN FRAN or NEW YORK, bit I just dont think its gonna happen. Seattle clubs are really run by 2 crowds.... The WHOS WHO crowd and the PARTY ALL NIGHT CROWDS. We have all seen too many clubs come and go or nights come and go because the WHOS WHO crowd has moved on. As for the other crowd, well most people unless they party hard, dont want to associate with that crowd. IE the after afterhours crowds, who may dress or look a bit differant. I will say this I have been in the CLUB/RAVE scence for 13 years now and have traveled and scence ALOT of stuff in my time. I have meet some of the BEST PEOPLE in the world. I do say that I would love to have a FLASHY night with crazy get ups and great decor, BUT I feel that SEATTLE is to conservative and while it may work every once in awhile, it may be just to COSTLY for someone to keep up!!!!

I must say, my crew has always been very impressed with what Tripwire brings to a Venue, other then always packing the place, Judge had great decorations, the supper club was transformed. Things like that to me make an event that much better, if nothing else it shows that the promoter cares enough to spice up the space to make it there's. In the hopes of bringing more to these nights possible think about once a month have a themed night. I personally go for the music, but when everyone is amped on a them and dressing up it usually escalates the vibe and that makes for a memorable night. There are cool not so cheese ways to do that, Have a color party where everyone wears white or red or what ever, tie in the door, your get in for less if you dress, there are tons of ways to make it come alive. My experience is that nights like that tend to get quite a word of mouth buzz, people talk about that crazy shit they saw all week, then more people want to see what that is all about. We use to do this stuff all the time in NY, I would be happy to help you guys come up with such ideas.

Yep, possibly.
From what I understand alot of the succesful nights around the US ( Spundae, Release, Giant, Buzz, etc) are all put on by multi milionares who have nothing better else to do then blow there money on partying. Many come from middle eastern backgrounds with wealthy familys. I've yet to have heard of any bling bling players from Sea-town with pockets the size of Paul Allens's want to throw down whatever it takes (DJ's, production, decor, etc.) to make a night go off.

We just have to have fun with what we got. :)

[d-dog]

You seem to know everything else. Why don't you figure it out. I also want to say that if you support Tripwire, why do you question their ideas before you actually experience it. Also why would you bring up someone elses event on Tripwires post if you do really support them. I personally believe Tripwire has done a lot for the Seattle scene and I support them 100%.

[alzheimerz]

Thanks for the replies to my postings. Trip, good insight. MarQ, I agree whole heartedly on the theme night idea. Don't get me wrong in anything that I have stated. I Believe that Tripwire (Christian) is no doubt doing a great job at the shows he has been throwing and i look forward to more of the same. And it looks as though the JJ show along with Kimball will be another Barn Burner as well.

[alzheimerz]

D-dog, who are you speaking too?

NUFF SAID!!!

[ThrobbingBass]

So many people in Seattle go to Vegas. Most of them don't even bother with Seattle. They go out to dinner, maybe grab a few drinks someplace, and then it's back to somebody's house.
I think the problem with Seattle is that it's big enough to support big clubs, but small enough to where if you get a little crazy, within one week your pastor, your checker at the supermarket, your mother, your best friend and the T.A. in your psych class all know that it was YOU that got on stage at LSC in baby-blue chaps and a giant foam cowboy hat.

[ThrobbingBass]

Not that I'm speaking from experience. I swear, though, if you fart in front of somebody in Seattle, you're bound to run in to them in under a week.

[Dj Federal]

JohnM did a little research adn came up with a link for John Johnson's productions...check out the stuff he makes http://www.discogs.com/artist/John_Johnson

[prog-lover]

Damn, he's got a lot more artist material then I thought he had. Didn't see his track "London" on there though. It's featured on last years JVM Bedrock comp.

[Dj Federal]

London is one of my favorite tracks that he's produced....he has a new track that is coming out soon that is ultra sick, I heard it down in Miami and I am sure it's going to be just as big as London

I did see Taylor at ISLT but not at showbox. His set was solid from what I remember (2 years ago).

i was at the showbox show, so i saw both... his showbox set was so boring, and it was about half full there... a couple of his CDs were skippin very bad too... it was nothing compared to his ISLT set

so if i fart in front of a cute gurl, ill run into them again in under a week? cool, ima keep that in mind, haha


hey chad, i recently went to a PVD show last week in Tokyo... the guy that opened up for him, DJ 19, he's someone id really recommend if you ever thought about bringin a DJ from Japan... DJ 19 is on the Bedrock label, as well as some Japanese labels... so you can guess his style somewhat, more on the progressive trance side though, you would like it... and if your curious of other DJs over here, i can give you the scoop later, the progressive scene is incredible here

I'd buy that for a $1.00!!
:D

[DAE51D]

$10 limited pre-sale @ fastixx.com or The Last Supper Club
$15 @ the door night of show

Hey Christian, I just went to LSC about two hours ago to scoop up my presales, and someone there (seemed like mebbe an owner or manager as he mentoned that you used his fastixx account number or something like that) said that they DO NOT have tix available. He told me you never had any printed for them? He suggested I go to fastixx.com, but they tack on some fees:

2 Ticket(s) at $10.00:
2 Ticket Convenience Fee(s) at $2.00: $20.00 $4.00
1 Handling Fee per Order: $2.50
Total Purchase this Order: $26.50

To save $3.50 I'm not sure it's worth surrendering my precious email address to fastixx and being sold to spammers... ;-)

Think you can arrange to have some presale tix dropped off at LSC?

This is the second time this has happened. George Acosta was the same sitch :(

If there is a misunderstanding, please inform LSC and get them straight as there is only a few days left before the show.

[itsallaboutthemusic]

ya, this is exactly why i was askin about it in another thread. had a feeling this was the situation. basically there is no such thing as "pre-sales" anymore. they should only be availiable at like platinum or the club itself. its never worth more than like $1 a ticket, as you might as well just purchase them at the door...

[mercuria]

i would advise against purchasing tickets at Platinum. I ended up paying $20 for the Judge Jules show, which would've gotten me into the door anyways. they charge quite a fee, those bastards.

[itsallaboutthemusic]

really? well, i havent been there for quite a long time, but you used to be able to get tix for $1 charge.

[LiquidGrüver]

FYI....John Johnson also did a few other tracks, called the "City E.Ps", in addition to London. He also did Buenos Aires, New York, and Hong Kong. From what I remember, each tune had a different feel to it, with New York being a bit more chill. I am looking forward to his set on Friday, it should be good.

[das Kindt]

I've been struggling for a while to find a really great Friday night that makes me want to get out on a regular basis. This looks like it is going to be the night.

Looking forward to this Friday.

Alright, i didn't know about that handling fee, that's kinda bullshit, i'll get to the bottom of it, i'll also make sure the venue has tickets with no charge, i think they stopped doing that because of the organizational mess between having tickets all over town (platinum, venue, frequency, etc)

I'll put you on the guest list for this one, just give me your full name, i'll make sure things are straight for the next pre-sale event (dec 27). If you already bought tickets i'll take care of you on the next show of your choice.

I know, that's why i went there in the first place, but, as i have mentioned, their fee was $5.

3 more days...YEA!!!

that was a mix-up, they were selling tix for the door cost not the pre-sale cost, that was the problem.
