Who the fuck is Pharmer4?
Pharmer4 is a dude with too much time to spend on metal.
Heavy Metal Nation
I run www.heavymetalnation.com - basically an online street press. I take submissions from anyone (well, if you submit a review of your own band, it won't get published, but anything else you send in will). I take submissions on anything to do with metal et al, and the only editing I do is grammatical. No censorship, no deleting opinions etc.
If it sounds like something you'd like to contribute to, then fucking contribute!
Night Of Darkness
I am also the Secretary/Treasurer for Night Of Darkness Inc. This is the Not For Profit group in my hometown of Deniliquin that organises metal gigs three times per year (February, June/July, November). At the time of writing, NOD3 is almost upon us. You can check that shit at www.myspace.com/nightofdarkness1
We organised NOD for a few reasons:
- There are not enough metal gigs in Deniliquin (Southern NSW), and those that do occur are in licensed premesis, so the kids here can't enjoy it.
- We wanted local bands to have a chance to play in front of larger crowds with experienced bands.
- We wanted to set up a regular rural event that had a good reputation with the bands that have played - we ensure that all bands are paid and paid fairly, with a cut of ticket sales, and plenty of merch-selling opportunities.
- I personally was sick of having to travel all the time to see good shit, so I figured I'd find a way to bring the metal to me.
For Whom Metallica Tolls
Not specifically to do with Australian metal, but I also run the Australian Metallica fan club, For Whom Metallica Tolls. www.forwhommetallicatolls.org.ru (yess, russian domain, it was free). One of the specific purposes is to organise a clubbers gig in Melbourne for their next tour.
Anything Else?
Probably. Now that I've found this site, I'm sure to try and get as involved as possible.
What I Want To Work On Here
- Introducing pages for releases (beginning with albums, working up to EPs and even singles, depending on server demands I suppose)
- Coming up with some template or satisfactory way to link to interviews with bands for band pages, or reviews of CDs for release pages, without it being a spam-o-rama.
- Clearing the Wanted Pages page by making pages for them.
