Just a reminder - House of Shields does not get a whole lot of foot traffic (besides our faithful regulars). When you have booked a show with us, please do the following:

1. PROMOTE THE SHOW. Within a month of your show, begin promoting as much as possible. A combination of word-of-mouth, print & electronic methods usually works best!

2. NOTIFY local print & radio (see below for a list) with 1 or 2 months of your show. Supply them with the date, venue, cost and line-up. We do send out our monthly calendar, but it never hurts to follow up...

3. MAKE FLYERS. Give them to friends & strangers alike. If you decide to post flyers on San Francisco streets, PLEASE make note of SF's Posting Policy. You WILL be charged for ANY fines incurred for illegal posting.

4. TELL YOUR EAST BAY FRIENDS that we are a stone's throw from the Montgomery BART station, on Market! Let BART be your designated driver!

5. ARRIVE ON TIME. Load-in and soundcheck starts at 730pm. Doors usually open at 9pm. All shows must end by 12 midnight!

We book live music & dj events on Fridays & Saturdays!

THE BASICS:
2/3 band bills only. $3 - $5 cover. Load-in/soundchecks 8pm - 9pm. All shows must end by 12 midnight (out of respect for our neighbors). Bands keep 90% of the door (DJs can opt for a flat rate). Sound & door persons provided. House of Shields is booked 2/3 months in advance.

Jazz, underground hip hop, experimental, electronica, rock, folk, indie, blues, country, etc. LOW VOLUME acts preferred - we are a small bar/local hangout!

Please send us a message, or contact skip@houseofshields.com for more info! Please provide a link to your online press kit, music samples, gig history, etc. Do not call the bar, or mail us cds/press kits! Save the cds for your fans, and the press kits for the media.
