What is going on in their tiny little minds?

Just got a letter in the post from The Venue in Preston, with tickets for our gig in September (7th of September if you are coming, email me and I will sort you out with a ticket)

This is no problem, I read through the contract details, nothing has changed, then I look at the list of bands, this is where it gets interesting, now, I quite like most of the bands playing after having a gander at their myspaces, but I dunno what their fans are going to think of us, metal fans tend to be a little less open minded than people like me!!

So, we're playing a gig with the line up like this

Headliners : Rival Faction - Screamo (They all have shit hair but the music is pretty good)
The Emotional Problems Of Dirk Diggler - Ska Punk (More shit hair)
Machiavellian - Death Metal (Not very shit hair and quite good music)
Nuclear Autumn - Indie Pop (Shit hair, and the music was meh)

So, Indie pop fans, clashing with death metal fans, clashing with ska punk fans clashing with screamo fans.

What happened to the good old days when venue owners and promoters would book bands which complimented each others styles?

Has logic been defrenestrated?

Has common sense taken leave?

What is going on these days?

Have venue owners just gotten lazy and just picked out bands at random and said, "book them, we'll reel in the money, who cares if they get shit from bands fans who may hate them" ?

When will things return to a sense of normality?
