Rock n roll doesn't offer anything vintage, so he's got something unique off the bat. Agree that being able to rent something gnarly and vintage for recording seems to have more potential to draw clientele.

with all the fests that happen in austin (all year every year) he might be wise to team up with some promoters of back lining equipment. Especially if he has gear that some reunion-rocker is extra particular about playing on.

Also, drop off/pick up from the venue would be extra enticing.

thats sort of what i was thinking too. i know he is doing the drop off / pick up thing, and i told him i would help out as the clients start rolling in. he had a gig bringing some stuff to house of blues in dallas. one of the things that isn't immediately clear is insurance. like, how does he keep his stuff covered if/when he does rent to some touring bands. how does he know he'll get his stuff back in the same condition ? so i guess it is like a deposit type system. glad to hear the feedback. i'll offer up some type of contact once he really launches his business. the whole festival thing in austin seems like he could have a really great business model. i

they do a booming biz in austin, peep the website. it's an insane cluster fuck when sxsw rolls around.

They are way more involved that what your bud wants to do; but he may be on to something cool? Is it rental for the time of the gig only?

I go to rock and roll rentals all the time to rent expensive recording mics...very conveniently located around the corner from pro-tape for yr analog needs.

he's actually in austin. i've been to rock and roll rentals for pre-amps. not sure if they do vintage gear. but you're right. they have lots of recording stuff. his idea is to be able to function as rental for back line, and custom amp/mic/effects. so basically crummy speakers stacks for stuff at auditorium shores, etc, and than custom expensive gear for one off gigs at emo's / beerland, whatever. seems doable, and cool.

a friend of mine is starting up a gear rental business. like nice shit - orange amps, ampegs mark iv, vintage PA, rack mount gear etc.

how common of a thing is this ? i'm not talking about the local rent a PA or 4track rental places, but a service for cheap, where
he'll show up to your gig with all the good amps, load out, and be on the way. seems unique to me, but i don't know.

is this common ? i think he has a potentially cool model, especially if he starts running sound and basically piping a band through
all his gear. could be awesome. but reasonably, some bands wouldn't be down for this. "don't mess with my sound, DUDE"

he's got all of these great vintage pedals too. all available for rent.

I tried to do this and I can't. I guess I know the first Stooges record would be on the list. And I can think of at least two from the 00's that would make it on there. Maybe the Germs and the first Damned. Other than that I'm not sure. There are too many bands I like a lot but can't pick a favorite album by. And my taste changes all the time too.

come on. . . . you can do it. don't you quit on me now.

Pop Punk / Re: PRINCELY JEWELS FROM THE CREVASSE OF POST ROCK

« on: September 15, 2010, 12:32:17 PM »

there sure is a lotta post rock fans creeping out of the closet here. started with "fuck tortoise" but now, "some of the early stuff is ok, actually."

this thread reeks of the kind of shit i hate in austin. people trying to deny what the used to listen to, cuz they're onto some cooler stuff now.

SUCK IT UP.

you probably have some mogwai records, because it was good back then. not lying.
will never ever listen to explosions in the sky. godspeed, and fly pan am are legit. i'm listening right now to a band called Paik. killer jamz.

thinking man's metal is apt, yet a little simplistic. what is SunnO ? boris and melvins all traffric in the genre. i can see people detesting it, but i also see many people in this thread covering some of their "cred" bases with post rock rejection to appease the mighty termbo aesthetic. Ha Ha Posers.

definitely into exposing some of the shitty bands / shows people on this board care to share - i was there - STP, Ministry, Sepultura in high school. both ministry and sepultura were great. people threw cups at STP.

butthole surfers were on capitol for a brief period.

ween went to elektra i guess around pure guava.

seems both of those were pretty risky at the time. knowing the kinds of dudes that make up those bands.

and lets not forget royal trux. total rock and roll swindle.
