If you and / or your band are interested
in playing at the Ten Mile House
Here are the basics. The band, bands or the promoter if one is involved
split 100% of the door. We charge a $5.00 cover @ the door. There are no
guarantees !!! We supply the door man and a sound man, stage and a PA at no
charge to the bands. Bands members each get 2 drink tickets . This is for all
active on stage music playing band members . Please make fliers to promote your
show. We can put up 5 to 10 fliers here at the bar, but we must receive them two
weeks before the show or sooner so we can hang them in the bar.
Load in is anytime after 6:00pm. And 10 minutes before door. Door starts one
hour before the first act. We will not start collecting door money unless
somebody from one of the bands playing is present. We would prefer that everyone
be present by this time. We require that just one person from one of the bands
playing that night be present 70 minutes before show time in order to start
collecting door money. Which is pretty lenient.
We had a situation where we started collecting the door at 9:00pm for a 10:00pm
show. At 9:25 no one from either band had arrived yet. we thought sure we had a
No show on our hands. People were asking questions, mostly concerning how and if
they will get their money back if the bands don't show. In the end both bands
were there by 9:30 and the first band set up fast, did a quick sound check, show
started at 10:00pm with no problem. But we don't want to go threw that again.
There is no guest list. We have had past
problems with one band letting in 15 to 20 people. But still getting a equal
share of the door. This is not fare to the other bands. So we have decided to
leave it up to the bands to either give their guest the money for the door, or
to reimburse them after the show.
These are the deferent set times we have,
1) 2 full bands from a 10:00pm start doing 70 to 80 minute sets each,
2) 3 full bands from a 10:00pm start doing 45 minute sets each. with a 20 minute
switch out between sets
3) 2 full bands from a 10:00pm start doing 70 to 80 minute sets each, With a
9:00pm non drum opener. With a 20 minute switch out between sets. The first full
band can set up on stage before 9:00pm so they can start at 10:00pm
4) 3 full bands from a 10:00pm start doing 45 minute sets each. With a 9:00pm
non drum opener. With a 20 minute switch out between sets. The first full band
can set up on stage before 9:00pm so they can start at 10:00pm
