Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

Re: Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

Just out of curiosity, aren't these things such as time slots etc usually up to the promoter or whoever is throwing the event?

I dunno, I'm sure Danny can play whenever he feels like it though.

Next time I guess just go to bed early and wake up around 4 to catch his set. Perfect way to wake up imo. I wish I'd done this in Miami lol

Re: Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

Same happened to me, but even later. I believe it was the last or second to last Arc night, one of the Low End Specialists warmed up until 4:30 am, which is when Danny decided to take over. I could only stay around for another hour and was a annoyed that I was only able to catch a small portion of his set, which I hear ended up going until noon. No offense Chad, but I think you summed it up in your email. You were out with your wife and youre getting old. I am the same age and find myself in the same situation often, that it feels late when the headliner starts. However, if it were 10 years ago and you were single, your ass would of been out tearing up the floor. You also have to give Danny credit that he is the age he is and can still play massively long sets and the thought of it being too late never crosses his mind. Thats what makes him the madman he his. Sorry dude, but I dont feel Danny owes you an apology. Since when has the party scene catered to people who want to go home and go to bed before the sun comes up?

it's not a rave, buddy. it's a proper club. that's the difference. if the 'party' scene held back headline dj's to the early hours of the morning, fewer people would go out, with the exception being ibiza.

would your assertion be true for other forums of music?

Imagine if doors open to a radiohead concert at 10pm, and they don't come on till 3:30am.

you would be pissed, too, no?

I think there is an implied expectation, unless explicitly stated otherwise, that the headline dj should come on at a reasonable hour. Or else, what would stop Tenaglia from waiting till 9am to come on???

You should have sent him a condom stuffed with razors.

Re: Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

Yeah i saw him at Arc, he didn't come on till 3am. But the club didn't open till midnight, so i expected that. What i didn't like was the place didn't serve alcohol. Being on holiday picking up drugs wasn't easy either. So No Drugs, No Booze, there wasn't even much pussy either. I stayed for 2 hours but he was playing Garage, so we called it a night. What i should of done was go to bed, get up early and then hit the club. I would of struggled with on booze though. Danny rants about Being Yourself, but i am myself with A drink in my hand, a bird on each arm, some charlie up me nose and a few pills with polish the night off. Danny is seriously deluding himself if he thinks drugs don't play a big part in music.

Yeah Sasha didn't come on at Ministry Of Sound till about 3:45 either. Pretty annoying when you know he was already in the country the night before.

Re: Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

Cracking e-mail ... this is becoming a bit more of an issue these days (particulary with lack of decent bills/upcoming warm up dj's).

Sasha played 2.00 til 5.00 last week .. but even that's too late, particularly on a weekday (and i incl. Friday in that, as I'd done a days work). By 4.00 people were leaving and the bar wasn't doing any business. So I can't see the sense in having the headliner close (unless you are on holiday in ibiza, brazil, argentina, Punto del este etc.).

Even Carl Cox starts his nights off at 11.00 in ibiza - which draws in the crowd before a headline support Dj plays and Carl re-appears at 3.00. At least you can get 2-hours of Coxy (plus 3 hours of e.g. Digweed, Deep Dish, or Fatboy Slim etc.) and leave at 4.00 if you're knackered (Carl goes on til 8.00).

In 2003 at Heaven, Hernan opened at 11.00 and Oakey played 1.00 til 3.30. Then some other dj did the graveyard slot for anyone that was simply too high to go home.

Re: Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

I actually agree with you about him being awesome for playing long sets and not expecting to go home before the sun comes back up. That is exactly why we made the trip hear him out, to have a killer long night. But if you are stuck a bit listening to a pair of, to be honest, very mediocre openers, for about three hours, you are in no way going to be juiced for another ten, let alone two hours. A night has to be built and I think showing up for a set that late just wastes a lot of opportunity to do so.

yo chad whats up??? im from Boston as well..hit me up spme time if you wanna go out.btw Howells at Rise this friday should be insane.

Re: Danny Tenaglia is a total D-bag

Yeah saw Tenaglia last year when he played a 8 hr set which started at 10am but it was just fifteen minute track after the next, nothing really inspiring. It is tough to rally till 6am or later.

32 is old dude... you aren't seeing alzheimer's signs yet, old man?

its a struggle for me to even make it to 3:45am much less see someone open at 3:45am. that is why i am glad for the most part, the clubs here in atlanta mandate an early starting time because the clubs have to close 3-4ish.
