Mana? Thats funny..
Its fine if people think the 930 is a rental facility with no obligation to book/seek diverse acts that reflect the city they are in…
Per Seth's post I'll just send him my suggestions and links to artist management were available.

Half the people posting on this thread aren't actually reading the comments.. there's money to be made in Latin Rock..
The idea that booking Latin Rock would be some sort of charity act is insulting..
In fact many of the comments on this thread are insulting.. the comment by Yada about who cares about Latin Rock… the burrito coment..
Its not terribly suprising but sad.
hutch, there was a good "latin" act last thursday at the black cat, did you go to that? ::)
Was it Jose Gonzales?

why the roll eyes!?
I bought a ticket but could not go cause our basement massively flooded.. still dealing with that (also missed virgin freeffest)..do you want me to send you a copy of the ticket? ::)
But obviously I don't go to every latin rock show.. .i go to the ones by artists i like much like anyone would do..
I have the new Sergent Garcia cd.. bought it in order to know the songs for the show..its good but its not as good as the Quemar cd… i'm real sad to have missed it.. my next latin rock show is andres calamaro in new york city.. have to go up there cause it was not booked in dc.. and thats ok.. dc is not going to book every show..
The Cucu Diamantes cd from last year is amazing though….if anyone likes Latin music you owe it to yourself to check it out..its sort of slipped by people and can be had pretty inexpensively used on amazon..
Also, Molotov are playing the club….if they are your thing.
See, "latin" acts are booked by both venues.

I agree with you in that there is money to be made, and it wouldn't be a charity act. But that in no way means 9:30 is required to book it. It's a venue, they can book whatever they want, whenever. They don't book the same generic rock acts as FSS, and in no way are they required to.

I did not say the 930 never booked latin rock.. almost never though..
Molotov are not my thing.
Black Cat actually does a fairly good job with latin rock.. probably because MN8 the promoter prefers to use them? not sure why.. they completely oversold the Autenticos Decadentes show

They are not legally required to book anything.. that is correct.
And if a venue never booked performances by black artists in DC well I guess they aren't required to do that either…

Or by white artists … and to top it off those joints are missing all that potential!

I don't know really.. it is like pushing a rock up a hill on this site.
all that happened is I pointed out the GM of Fillmore had said they'd have latin rock shows and I said that was a great idea because there was a vacumn and IMP was't booking them..some smartass pointed out a a few weeks later that there wasn't latin rock.. i said that was true and so far in fact it was imp 1 fillmore 0.. then i went into a tirade about how bullshit this was given all the major latin rock artists that were skipping dc.. i said IMP probably just didn't know the market etc.. seth confirmed pretty much the same…. someone told me to go eat burrito.
fucking crucify me shit…
i'm out on this.. certainly i'm out on this tallking about this on a thread about the fillmore…
i'll start my own rock en espanol/rock latino thread and watch it sink like a rock.
I'm sorry. I was joking. I support your campaign for increased Latin music shows. Honestly. It can't be worse than another Wilco or Radiohead show.
