I've been in the process of starting up a weekly Dubstep clubnight on Fridays, I've created all the branding and the name (Thanks to JesC ;]) Dubstate, which I fucking love....
So its all good to go, we played out last night, it was just a tester as there was a party booked for the main room so we played the back room. Was pretty cool, mostly just mates but from about 12:30-2 there was around 40 people on the floor (its a small room) so considering we did NO promotion it was sic...
Now I find out some other Promoter/DJ (Known as Evil.... very fitting) has talked to the clubowner behind my back and is now trying to take the night over. Hes already posted on a few forums saying 'Dubstate Clubnight on Friday' with his promotion company as the main company running it with us listed 3rd... as well as all the DJs I organised listed on bottom of the list even though were supposed to be the main resident DJs... seeing as I organised it and did all the branding, got the drinks deals, got other people on board, got DJs together.
I'm severely fucked off! but have no idea what to do. I'm working with the club owner on another big gig on May 30th and I'm worried if I pull the night and move it to another club he will fuck me for the gig (and theres not really any other clubs big enough in Wellington to handle the gig I'm organising). I'm doing heaps of stuff (web/poster design) for the club owner pro-bono in turn for giving me free venue hire... I've got no contract for this (stupid I know) but I guess I could pull the web stuff down if needed...
/end rant
I need advice. Talking to a few other people (lawyers n such) but not really sure what to do as pulling from it could really hurt my reputation for future stuff, but letting myself get fucked over could be worse :[
