Alex please book some metal. No, I'm not talking about third rate shite like Mushroomhead either. I'm tired of driving back from New Orleans late at night and having to be back at work early in the morning.

Most of the bands I'd really want to see wouldn't draw that well. Anyway, the second stage bands from Mayhem Fest are always doing off dates. They always have a day or two off between Mayhem dates so he could two or three of those to stop here between Texas and Florida. Gwar does a big US tour every fall/winter and a small tour in the spring. I've seen them draw well in Lafayette and New Orleans. A lot of the local bands try to do the hardcore type of sound like Hatebreed, so I'm sure they'd draw. I've seen them bring good crowds in Lafayette and New Orleans as well.

There's a club tour called MetalAlliance in the spring. The first two years they played in New Orleans and drew well. Its a different genre every year. Just a personal request here, Black Dahlia Murder/Carcass/Gorguts are putting together a tour for next spring that I'd really love to see. I don't think Baton Rouge would go for something that heavy though.

A few non metal bands I'd like to see here would be Clutch and Tomahawk or whatever band Mike Patton tours with next year.
