i guess what i'm saying here is that red bull is a large corporation with a lot of money Exactly. And of course Red Bull is giving the town/someone a donation. $500 to some "noise dork" is nothing, they're obviously spending much more.

Yeah I don't know. I definitely see your point but then why would Red Bull say they will pay for any tickets the show might get?
It sucks that dork from the Facebook though deleted all the hysterical posts.

Sircox, my post was a reply to what dhoop wrote.
The town turns a blind eye to frat parties which violate all of the same rules we violate. If a cop wasn't bribed about this, I'm sure some other deal happened which will make this a-ok.

Yeah I mean I'm sure Red Bull will be welcomed with open arms by the masses of New Brunswick, both cops and kids a like. It just sucks that if a huge corporation does a basement show it's a okay and probably looked upon as celebrating the culture of New Brunswick where as if one of us do ones we are menaces II society.
I just want to recap this.
Red Bull is throwing a contest to play a REAL basement show with the grand prize opening for them super New Brunswick Thursday fellas.
Dude who is referred to as "Noise Dork" offered basement so he can buy drugs and amps.
Anyone with any sort of normal brain capacity thinks this is a really dumb idea and is sort of a shallow and disrespectful way of selling fizzy poison in a can.
Miss anything?
Edit: Also Drucker, this is Ryan from Bosnia.

My guess is that the show will take place during an afternoon, Red Bull will regulate the volume to an extent, and they will limit attendance to about 30 people (or whatever the legal limit is at the particular house). This is a publicity event where most of the publicity will go down post hoc; online, and in the form of testimonials and photos. Red Bull doesn't need, or want a 1000 kids showing up. At the end of the day, all that matters for Red Bull is whether they can make themselves LOOK affiliated with this particular niche lifestyle.
What I'm saying is I'd be surprised if Red Bull actually announced the date and location. But what I'm also saying is someone fucked up and let the cat out of the bag.
Since everyone who probably shouldn't know, already knows where this is happening, everyone should attend. Every drunk idiot should roll in with twice the average number of 40s. Every straight edge kid should act twice as rowdy as straight edge kids already do.
Oh, and if this anything like a real basement show, then some scum bag should crawl upstairs and steal this kid's $500. If this kid is down as he says he is, then much like everyone else who has thrown shows in New Brunswick, he's used to being robbed by patrons he so graciously let into his house.
Is it worth mentioning I'm only half serious?

Ryan,
Yeah, what I was pointing out is that the kid complains he doesn't get enough money at shows he throws, but won't promote those shows, and is using this money for his own interest, not like...to compensate a touring band in the future for a show he throws that doesn't make enough money.
Moonshoes (nick,right?) brings up something that maybe hasn't been explicitly said enough (or maybe I'm just now realizing) Red Bull wants a real basement show, we oughta give em a real basement show.

Oh dude I totally agree with you. I was agreeing with you. I was laughing at the kid not you. I do not agree with this shit at all. He was going to spend the money on bands since he apparently doesn't know how to run a show that makes any sort of money for bands then I'd be less pissed about this.
And Yes, I totally agree that everyone shows up to this rowdy as fuck. Red Bull and Forties? Make our own Four Lokos/Joose?

You're a fucking sellout. If you're a junkie, then you should just own it. Don't blame other scumbag kids for not paying. I like drugs and amps but I have 2 jobs to support my habits. The point of New Brunswick basement shows and culture is to break away from corporations, promoters, and any battle of the bands bullshit. Fuck you, fuck Thursday, and anyone else that thinks this joke should happen. Don't talk to police.

for real shows i throw, i give every cent i collect to the touring bands and give them a place to stay and cook them dinner. i've never had a touring dude upset with the outcome, in fact a lot of them have already contacted mee for future shows/have given my contact info to their friends as well. this redbull thing isnt a real show nor do i have any touring bands to give money to so of course im going to welcome some extra income. ive never asked for anything from anyone in return for what i try to do at the venue ive set up... its not about me. thats why i dont appreciate shit slinging on the internet and im probably a fool for responding but none of you know me so who cares. i dont. i just dont want my house fucked with... i live with six other people who dont deserve your hostility.
and give me a break, most of you guys dont give a shit about experimental music and thats fine but dont pretend like youre going to support my gigs. i busted my ass this summer trying to put on the best shows i could, giving my local friends bands hard to find gigs with touring artists and it worked out pretty well, i cant help that people dont appreciate freak music here and have no interest going to a strangers house to hear music they've never heard of and probably wont like.

How would they find out? He didn't post his address on here or anything, did he? i'm beginning to think you're legit retarded Ouchies, you hoit my feelin's. How would they find out? He didn't post his address on here or anything, did he? If you really think Red Bull is throwing a secret show in a basement then I'm pretty sure you have no idea how a business works. Yeah sorry, I was a little out of it at the time. I was going on less than 3 hours of sleep at the time I posted that.

How would you get a permit? The reason why basement shows are illegal is capacity limits and fire hazards. You can't get a permit to get around a fire hazard or to somehow let 200 people in a house. It's just not going to happen unless Red Bull gives New Brunswick a hefty donation/bribe which I suppose could happen. Buccleuch Park is now Givesuwings Park. red bull has the kind of cash to grease a few palms

But what I'm also saying is someone fucked up and let the cat out of the bag. yeah its definitely not very secret, and not happening in the afternoon. from the link in the first post of this thread... Lol, they're STARTING it at 9 PM? Yeah, someone's definitely been bribed.

The four or so people in this thread who would've been stoked to see Amps for Christ play a basement are completely lying. Its not our fault you apparently don't know how to flier a show.

I think Delavan just comes up if you just put New Brunswick as an address. I am actually pretty sure where this is.
