Earthdance Review - Phoenix 2009
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this event a -5. It was horrible. The worst party I have been to in 15 yrs of partying. The music sucked. Death Metal at a party WTF? No music playing for hours at a supposed 33 hr event. No music at a party WTF!!! Attendance, dismal. Vibe, non-existant. Talent was sub-par. Stages looked like a simple house party with minimal effort. Dj skills at a all time low. Who the fuck stops the music in between sets. Do DJ's not mix records anymore? I guess technology has ruined that. The art of mixing is dead!


Even the main stage was a joke. The 3rd stage back had the best sound (the CV's). Lack of visuals, lighting, sound, and atmosphere.


We got there at 4pm for the prayer for peace. What we got was hours of sitting around with nothing playing. Bands that started 3 hrs behind schedule. All day activities were cancelled, i.e. Tai CHi, Yogi, etc. Not to mention the miles that you had to walk to and from the party. We left at 10:30 pretty much disgusted we wasted 30 bucks per person on this turd they called Earthdance.


Suggestion, Next time one stage, put ALL your resources into that stage and do it proper. Oh 1 more thing GET REAL FUCKIN HEADLINES!! Like Joey Beltram and Green Velvet.

I need a fucking refund.
The security were fucking shitheads, they found some beer in my bag they were searching though it then wouldn't let me in OR give me my mother fucking 40 dollars back.

THEN on my way back to the car, they fucking rushed me searched me again, and stole my fucking beer from me.
I WENT TO EARTHDANCE THIS YEAR TO BE ROBBED.

I am going to need two things:

1. I will need a full refund.

2. The name of the security company that was used, as I plan on taking them to court.


I am so IRATE at this moment that I feel as though I have been ROBBED. I was so pissed off that I was about to go home, grab a gun and forcefully get my refund back.

Attendance, dismal

thats a relief... cuz most 15yr olds cant come up wit 40dolla
and most...... wait no EVERY party is like a Clusterfuck to be in

The 3rd stage

most def. agree with that one AMAZZING!!



What we got was hours of sitting around with nothing playing

Thats cuz they had to take everything down from Friday night to put ulp everything for Saturday night.. they had different sound and talent for both nights..

Not to mention the miles that you had to walk to and from the party

whats the matter wit a little exercise XD

GET REAL FUCKIN HEADLINES

the "big named" ppl arent cheap..

Main stage on sat was LA status.

And I will give the sets of the nights to Gary, Macrodot and Teddy Graham!

:ATTENTION:
THIS IS A HEADS UP TO ALL YOU FELLOW PROMOTERS & PARTY GOERS. I JUST GOT BACK FROM A NIGHT OF PROMOTING AND DANCING AT EARTHDANCE. WE STARTED THE NIGHT OFF BY FLYERING EVERY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, WALKED A MILE TO THE SHOW, DANCED A BIT, TALKED TO SOME FRIENDS, CHECKED OUT THE FIRE DANCERS, THAN DECIDED TO HEAD BACK HOME. WE WALKED ANOTHER MILE BACK TO THE PARKING LOT AND NOTICED THAT ALL THE CARS WE HAD FLYERED EARLIER HAD OUR FLYERS LYING NEXT TO THEM ON THE GROUND. IN THERE PLACE WAS, LA LA LAND & MONSTER MASH FLYERS. WE WENT TO THE CAR, LOOKED FOR OTHER PROMOTERS, & SAW NEMO. WE ASKED IF HE SAW ANYONE ELSE PROMOTING, HE SAID "YAH, I JUST SAW TONIC WAS HITTING UP THE CARS WITH HIS FLYERS" WE ASKED IF HE KNEW WHERE TONIC WAS, HE POINTED TO THE CORNER OF THE PARKING LOT. WE WALKED OVER AND CAUGHT HIM AND HIS PROMOTER IN THE ACT RED HANDED PULLING RITUAL FLYERS OFF OF THE CARS AND THROWING THEM ON THE GROUND. HE WAS CONFRONTED BY MY FRIEND. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DENYING IT, HE BLAMED IT ON HIS PROMOTER WHO WAS RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. WHEN THE CONFRONTATION ENDED AND WE HEADED FOR THE CAR HE FOLLOWED US BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS, AND THAT WE DON'T TELL ANY OF THE OTHER PROMOTERS THAT HE WAS A "FLYER PULLER" his words. ATTENTION: HE IS!
ON THE RIDE HOME I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM NONE OTHER THAN JARED TONIC: "YO...I'D NEVER DO THAT. THIS KID IS OVER ZEALOUS TO HELP N' HE'S DONE. I'M TRYING TO FIND FLYERS TO RE-DO WHAT HE PULLED."
I THINK THAT'S FUNNY CAUSE WE CAUGHT HIM IN THE ACT. I AND MANY OTHERS REFUSE TO ASSOCIATE WITH ANYONE THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH JARED SHADY TONIC. HE HAS BEEN SENDING CHILDISH TEXT MESSAGES TO EVERYONE THREATENING THEM AND PUTTING PEOPLE DOWN. CIK , MATT DUNN AND OTHERS HAVE RECEIVED THEM. ANY TRUE PROMOTER WOULD NEVER DO THIS. ANY PROMOTER THAT CARED ABOUT THE SCENE WOULD NEVER DO THIS. JARED YOU ARE POSTING BS STATEMENTS ON LINE SAYING THAT YOU HAVE VENUES THAT YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE SECURED FOR YOUR PARTIES AND I HAVE SAT BACK FOR A MONTH WHILE YOU BAD MOUTH AND DIS RESPECT A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TONIC YOU NEED TO STOP DRINKING AND GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER. IN MY 15 YEARS OF BEING A PROMOTER WHO HAS PRODUCED OVER 570 EVENTS I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS SOMEONE AS UNPROFESSIONAL, SHADY AND IMMATURE AS YOU. ALL OF YOUR BS IS HURTING THE SCENE AND YOU OWE A LOT OF PEOPLE AN APOLOGY. I HOPE YOU BECOME A BETTER PERSON SOME DAY.

TOMMY..........

Right...check the link below for the whole flyer pulliing thing ...Id never do that or condone it .
Phoenix (chat)

n yeah Tommy iv been very vocal about my opinions lately but its between a certian few people and myself dude. And its been me sticking up for them and what i was poorly informed about . Appologies if it rubbed you the wrong way .

I just was worried about locals being used for anothers gain and trying to stick up for people I work with . Thats no so bad .

Fact is he admitted it to your face and many others and has done so publicly . I made him put the flyers he pulled back . Ur going a little far with this but its cool Id be livid too ! Just know that I personally didnt do that to you and I am appalled that he did it . Hes 17 and doesnt undrstand and I beleive he thought Id be impressed ? My appologies .

And you got no grounds saying I dont care for the Scene . All ive done is work my ass off to improve events and bring in good talent to multi genre shows so evry one can come enjoy a night together with the music they love . (except glow ) LA LA LAND , The BIG Event , Sweet Sensation, Were all great shows that we went all out on so people could have a geat time .
