Thank you for your interest in playing here, here's the deal...

Don't be offended that we haven't asked you to play, just ask us! If we say no, it's usually because the show is full. Or your band sucks. It's also very unlikely that you will get your first show here on the biggest show of the month. Don't be afraid of playing shows with lesser known bands.

The best way to get on a show is to find one listed that you think you might fit in with, then send us a myspace message about it. If you don't have a myspace you can email warren_bedell@hotmail.com. Sending a message asking if you can play a show sometime is unwise. We get that message countless times and will forget about you. Calling one of us or asking at a show is unwise. We are idiots who forget things alot. If you check the show listings we put our names in the description box. That's who is booking that show. We try not to step on each others shows to avoid overbooking.

We don't do all local shows generally. Occasionally we will do a CD release or tour kickoff or benefit, but usually we have plenty of shows to do for the touring bands.

Please don't bother asking if you can host your wild birthday party or rave here. I've never asked if I could throw a party at someone else's house, and I never will.

Please keep your sets under 30 minutes or ask if it's OK to play longer sets. We want the touring band to get the best slot before people go home so they can hopefully sell some merch.

We don't pay local bands. Sorry. We have agreed that touring bands need it more. Remember, none of the money goes to us. We pay the rent and the bills ourselves, we're doing this so that we can see decent bands at a cool place. We want to pay them for their trouble, Denver is crazy far from every other city worth playing, so we REALLY have to make it worth playing if we want anyone to come here.

Helping us promote and bringing people is awesome. It helps us pay the touring bands. You can make a flier too! Bringing an entourage that feel they don't have to pay is not awesome. Tell your buddies to pony up for the touring bands.

Overall, just remember that this is our house. The more considerate you are the better things will be for everyone and the better your chances of playing again.
