DJ vs Live Band

Ok.. I found out today that tonight at Fleming College they decided to have a live band (rock) play from 10:30 till midnight. I am the usual DJ there and every wednesday night is packed.. like it's really really busy. What is your oppinion on this? Do you think that this night will get complaints? Will it hut next week's pub night? Will anyone stick around once they hear the music squelching from these guys? The Student Council didn't even ask me if I was willing to let them play. I don't know.. I'm a little annoyed at the fact that they are messing with a perfectly amaizing night that everyone is happy as hell at.

Let me know what you think.

ask to help out with the audio hookup,
when they get on stage, mute their sound and when they play throw on a Warrant CD,

that place will clear quickfast.
and you'll have your old job back.

it depends on the band. good music is good music. you might lose some of the stupid people who feel they are "too cool" for bands, but who cares. djs will never be as good to see as a good live band. but on the other hand, a bad live band will send people running for the door.

make sure you do a warm up set before the band comes on...keep it really groovy, nothing too popular (not sure what you play)...trust me if the band plays til midnight, you can work the difference in sounds really well...

well if it's in peterborough, then it's always a good idea to, as basic might say, "rock it out"

The band that played was "cadence" really really heavy and hard. They ended their set off with Rage against the machine. Luckily it only lasted 45 minutes. It took me an hour to get the croud on the floor afterwards.. ouch it was hard shit... My ears are bleading

that's not a very good attitude. as the dj, you have the power to shape the night.

The Band shaped if for me. And everyone wanted to hear R&B and retro.. they weren't into and dancy stuff.. oh well.. After a couple Rum and Cokes From Avro (who was bartending) I got in a bit better mood.... in all I guess everyone was happy and left the place at the end of the night super drunk ( .75 beer )

Man, not to be harsh but you played DMX like 5 times. and Darude. No excuses on that one.

I agree with Shawn, you shoulda used your opportunity to show the crowd what was up.

And yes, the beer was really 75 cents. I still don't beleive it. And the cover was only 2 bucks (and that's only because of the band, usually there's no cover).

If you come on a night without the bands.. it's a real h00t!
