1. ALL SINGERS: please bring your own vocal mics. We seem to have a problem with keeping ours in good working condition as they tend to get beat and banged around alot. So we are asking all lead singers and back up singers to please bring their own mics to use.



2. PROMOTION: Please help us promote YOUR shows and YOUR music. I will from time to time make flyers and post them on myspace but it is not my job to make flyers for your show, nor is it my job to promote your show. I can't help you get your music out to everyone if you are not willing to put in the hard work as well. I will do my best to make sure there is a good crowd for each and every show but it is also your responsibility as a band to promote and make sure that your friends on your friends list know when and where your are playing. While I love the bands for coming and playing I work for the venue and it is my job to promote for the venue. Thus saying, I need the bands help in promoting your show. I have had in the past a band or two want to know where the people aremy response: Where are YOUR people? Did you tell anyone you were playing?



3. DRAW: I need bands to play that have a local draw. This DOES NOT pertain to out of state bands!! Please if your going to email us about shows and you are local.we will book you on a show but please have some kind of a draw. I can't possible afford to payout good money to bands that can't bring in a few heads at the door. And with shows being all agesits not that hard to find a few people that like your music to come out and see you play.



4. PAYOUT: The payout for Saturday night bands is 25% of the total of the register. So if the bar makese $1000, the bands get paid $250, to split between them. I think this is far as the more money you help bring us the more money we can payout to you. The headlining band will receive the payout and will payout each of the remianing bands. Someone from your band MUST be here when the register is cleared (shortly after 1 AM) in order to receive your payout. I have had a few bands call me at home on Sunday wanting to know how they can get their payout for playing the previous night. Response: You don't get one! You forfeited your payout by leaving early, thus the money was split between the remaing bands.



5. RESPECT: Each and every one you deserve respect as people, as musicians and as patrons. With that said.I, as well as others, find it completely disrespectful when a band comes in, plays their set and expects a good crowd, yet leaves without hearing the other bands play. They listened to your set, hung out, hoisted a few drinks, had a good time, and even moshed.so don't they deserve the same respect out of you? I understand sometimes someone in your band must leave early (work, kids, or whatever) but for the whole band to leave and take anyone that came out to see them play and go somewhere else is very disrespectful and gives your band a bad name.



With all that said, cleared up ranted out or whatever you wish to call it: I hope I answered some questions and cleared some things up.
