Wow! Congrats for sure for both bringing an even to the city and for yielding such talent as Kiriyama! Couldn't be happier to hear that he is back in NYC!
But out of curiosity....how come on a Thu? All the credit in the world to the Thu Psycheground parties, but how come we are bringing such talent like Kiriyama on a Thu when so many people won't be able to enjoy what likely will be a 2-4am set because of the need to drag him/herself into work the next day?

I think the main reason psychegrounds happens on thursdays as opposed to a weekend day is because it is a regular event, and having a free or very low regular event on a weekend day would make it more difficult for the one offs to succeed.

i disagree. conversely, if it was held weekly on a fri or sat, it would ultimately fail because more people would gravitate towards the one-offs, which, though more expensive, would feature more international talent and other amenities. i think this is clear to promoters, and given the small market in NY, they have decided not to attempt such a thing. the trance crowd seeks variety, and a weekly event here can only survive on a weekday because it provides a constant opportunity for the local community to burn off a little steam in a casual setting and stay connected with likeminded friends. also it serves as an introduction to new people without the commitment of a higher priced weekend all-nighter. further, it gives local artists a chance to break in to the scene, and the scene an additional opportunity to enjoy local talent which is often squeezed out of crowded lineups on the weekend. when we have the chance to host out-of-town talent, it's an added bonus, and we're happy to provide such an alternative for some folks who either can't afford or can't attend the full-scale weekend events. this is the unique niche that psycheground occupies |
