Just got back from the "9pm" show at the El Cid (the time is on their flyer and officially on this website). After driving, parking and getting to the venue to see the show and support the Martini Queens (yes I demoted them), I found out that they are not scheduled to go on until "10 or 10:30 or so" (according to the only guy at the place that knew anything). He said their "promoter would know more but he was not there yet". So, I left and will NOT support this group until they can become PROFESSIONAL and show respect for us. It's not so hard to change the time on a website. I get that things come up...but come on guys, be PROFESSIONAL. Do you not go to shows often? This happens all the time. My husband's band starts, on average, about an hour late every time. Shit happens. We love the Martini Kings! Terra [email protected] You totally have to question the motives here. Every band I have ever been in has started later then what we said, be it 15 minutes or an hour. it's standard practice. You wait until there is a bigger crowd. No this smells rotten, and smells like some sort of personal vendetta.
