MozterfestOn behalf of Mozterfest and others that were involved we like say we're very sorry for the confusion and inconvenience this past weekend. There was so much that our staff hadn't complete which made us turn to our last resort, but it wasn't good enough and we know this....we take full responsibility for all that took place.
Mozterfest Although this event was planned and ready but there was a missed communication between some partners and hired staff. We had the wrong power for concert, stage and PA....the lack of someones judgement was a result to what happen this past weekend. We will compensate all bands who worked so hard that were going to play at the show. We hope to make things right...we are not out to burn or scam anyone. Again we apologize for all wrong doing....all bands who were going to play please contact us through email. Thanks for all the comments and concerns...we will make sure to take care of this matter, thank you.

22 hours ago · LikeUnlike.Alex Griffin All this bullshit, and all you have to say is "sorry?" You better find yourself a good fucking lawyer that knows how to lie his ass off like you guys did to all of these bands who drove HUNDREDS OF FUCKING MILES TO PLAY YOUR SO CALLED FESTIVAL!
Mozterfest
First off....we didn't lie, second...we are going to return everyone's money. We all drive hundreds of miles and spent a good amount of dollars....we can't get back what we spent but we owe it to all the bands to give back to them and thats what we plan to do...if you agree or not that's up to you.
15 hours ago · LikeUnlike.Julio Sanchez What was the money spent on i was personally following this event since day one and im sorry but i never saw or heard any type of advertisement other than facebook, myspace which is obsolete nobody follows that shit no more and the crummy ass web site u put up the cheap ass tickets u had printed could not be worth more than $200 if any but i doubt it any how im saying that u collected a huge amout of money and trying to say that tha you spent most of it on advertisement bullshit bro seriously u r not dealing w kids its just a warning this matter needs to get resolved this week to avoid serious legal issues u r in breach of contract and im sure u know what that means since u created it watch out buddy.....
12 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 3 peopleLoading....Mozterfest There is more than just paying for advertisement and printing out cheap ass tickets....having permits, notifying authorities, paying for medical assistants, insurance and all other things it takes to put a show together. There was no show....having to pay for everything in advance and not having to use it is a huge cost. Everyone is upset and again as I mentioned we will be fixing this problem. All bands that were there and other that didn't show will be contacted so we can settle this matter....thank you.
7 hours ago · LikeUnlike.Richard Maza We Will be in Contact. My band is out $300 for Travel Expenses...and we are now VERY Glad we never turned in any money, as we have already returned all the money for tickets we sold back to the people who had bought them. Let alone their travel expenses for heading out to nothing...
6 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 2 peopleLoading....Gig Boss Hey Moz, since you had to "pay for everything in advance", why don't you at least post copies of all the receipts that you have for your expenses for the events... insurance, medical staff, staging, security, permits, etc. If you posted those, maybe you'd regain some credibility. But if you couldn't produce those receipts... I'm just sayin'.
6 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 4 peopleLoading....Mozterfest It not Moz....if you like to speak to him than you can contact him personally....I will make sure to get the invoices as they become available to me and I have no problem posting them up for everyone to view. We can ensure that we will make the extra effort to resolve this....thanks for your concern and hope we have an understanding.
5 hours ago · LikeUnlike.Becky Epstein Roberts If you knew it wasn't going to happen (obviously you knew that well in advance), and you're "not lying", why didn't you contact all of the bands before they spent all of that time, money and heartache? It seems to me that it should have been a top priority as soon as you knew. If you had a 'staff', why didn't you assign one person to call and email every band that was involved? This is elementary school logic that even a beginner would know. Apologies and "repayment" won't fix this. You couldn't even provide porta potties so people could take a piss before driving themselves all the way back home. That's low, man.
Incidentally... WHY WEREN'T YOU AT THE LOCATION, TO TALK TO ALL OF THE BANDS IN PERSON? Surely you can answer that question very quickly, since it's something that you must have a 'not lying' answer for.
5 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 2 peopleLoading....Becky Epstein Roberts You're NOT Moz? What, is there some more pressing scam that he's working on? He should be contributing to this discussion instead of burying his head in the sand. MOZ should respond to this discussion. MOZ owes this community some answers, not more false promises.
We do have an understanding. We understand that you screwed a lot of bands and fans over this past weekend, and that was your plan months ago. That's vividly clear. We also understand that you have no intention of making good on this for anyone involved. What reason does anyone have to trust you?
Don't bother to delete this from your page - I'm sure I'm not the only one who's getting screencaps of all of it.
4 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 3 peopleLoading....Joe Gonzalez Yeah me and my whole band took time off from our jobs for this event. Some of us without pay and now we're fucked on money. Wut a vacation!
Mozterfest @ Becky....The thing is I don't have to answer to any questions or comment on anything....we feel its only right to be out here still dealing with everything that went down. I am only posting because of what has been explained to me. We didnt know until Saturday of how things were played out. By the time we were able to notify band it was too late....the reason why I wasn't there is because I had a family issue to attend to....SORRY if I wasn't there to speak to anyone. There was a hand full of idiots we thought to trust to handle certain things and be responsible for their actions but no one hasn't stepped up....and that's on us, we know that. Its personal to me too and I need to take care of what's happening among the people who were involved as partners and deal with them and what they did wrong. And if you don't want anyone to answer or comment on posts then I wont I'll stay quiet and can figure out on your own...
4 hours ago · LikeUnlike.Becky Epstein Roberts You owe answers to this group of people that you royally screwed over, and you damn well know it. Your misplaced and unfair indignation about this issue is disgusting, and it's not going to make anyone back off or stop asking questions. One of my close relatives died right before I did a show at a venue. I still did that show, because I OWED it to the venue and the other bands. If you don't get that, if you don't feel that you have to comment or answer, you truly know nothing.
4 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 1 personLoading....Becky Epstein Roberts Are you saying that you're in the desert 'dealing' with everything? How long does it take to strike a 'stage' like the one you erected?
Your SORRY for not being there in person is an insult. We'll just put that on the pile. It took more than a handful of idiots - NOTHING was done the way you said it would be, right from day one. A professional wouldn't blame his faceless staff for this level of failure.
4 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 1 personLoading....Becky Epstein Roberts "And if you don't want anyone to answer or comment on posts then I wont I'll stay quiet and can figure out on your own..." Moz... the thing is that we DO want answers. We do want people to comment. I never said anything about not wanting anyone to answer or comment. Nothing I posted could possibly be interpreted that way.
4 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 1 personLoading....Mozterfest From I was told Moz did speak to bands and explained what was going....I have no problem commenting on here, and I continue to do so....we know we owe answers to everyone thats why we're here talking now....I'm saying I'm sorry I wasn't there to help out or be there to explain to others. I'm not throwing faceless staff under the bus....im not putting any other name out there cause im not, but mainly explaining the situation which you guys want to know. I agree that Moz should be on here answering questions and talking with you guys....I will let him know so we can get that done too....Becky thanks for your comments and concerns.....please continue to post so we all have know how it went down, to fix what needs to be done. We want to make it right with everyone but by all the comments its really difficult to explain our part and thats ok....those are your true feelings and we deserve it.
Mozterfest Its a matter of doing what's right and fixing this situation with all bands....I will make sure Moz has an opportunity to also post on here....
