  |
|
hello select button! I have recently been put in charge of booking my band's return trip from new york city this february. So... I'm trying to plan out a vague route. Can anyone point me to cities which have active/boppin' music scenes that would be fun to play? anywhere between new york and louisiana. bonus points if you can name excellent venues, and even MORE bonus points if you can supply contact info for those in charge of booking those venues.
thanks!
(note: alternatively, if someone knows a way in which I can get us a few AWESOME shows on the west coast, that is also an option)

I've actually heard good things about the scene in Ames...

and this probably goes without saying but don't forget to stop by Athens, GA while you're in the south. |
we've already got a show booked there on the way up... the last time we played there really blew, though. but that wasn't really athens' fault so much as the terrible, terrible venue we played at.

we actually might be!
we'll be in the area early february and have a pretty big gap to fill whilst there, so I wouldn't rule it out. but I'm not in charge of that leg of the tour. still if you have any recommendations, pass them on!

Okay, Saint Louis, Missouri has a decent scene for what your band is doing. There's a venue called the Bluebird (bluebirdstl.com) and there are a couple bands you should ask to play with you "Jumbling Towers" and "Berlin Whale" both are decent bands, would fit well with yours and draw well. If you can get them, also see "Say Panther" and "So Many Dynamos"
I'm part of the booking committee at the local experimental noise/math rock/noise venue in st. louis, but there isn't much to offer a band like yours there. And unfortunately, my band would be a weird and bad mix with your own (www.myspace.com/sleepstate). Anyway, hopefully that points you in the right direction.
edit: Oh shit, if you hit up Bloomington, message a band on myspace called Husband&Wife (just search for them) and tell them Sleep State sent you. They will hook you up PHAT. We hooked them up hella 'round here. |
Thanks for the advice. It's amazing that there's a venue which is seemingly devoted to noise/math rock... that sounds pretty awesome. I was not aware such things ever existed.
That being said, many of our best shows have been with bands which are entirely stylistically incongruous, so for whatever it's worth we'd not be opposed to doing a show with you guys... especially if you have a decent draw.
Either way I'll definitely follow those contacts. Thanks!

right, I suppose I should link my band's myspace: www.myspace.com/brassbed
thanks for all the information, everybody! even stuff that I can't use now can be used later down the road...

well, where I live there are maybe.. 4 or 5 total viable music venues TOTAL.
unless you're a cajun band of course.

here's a map I made laying out our planned return route home. let me know if I'm passing near your area, or overlooking some good cities.
