Hi
Need a couple of bands to play at the Runaway Bay Tavern on the 12th of Nov. PA is supplied, you just need amps and a kit.
You have to keep on stage levels down so the crowd & staff don't go deaf. Also, the gig isn't paid, so if you're looking to play a set for fun, let me know with a link to your music preferrably.
You'd play for about 45mins.
Cheers!

I'd play with my band 'Jak' ( www.wix.com/jak_band/jak ) but we're in Mackay on the 11th... Might be pushing it to drive back in time, we're keen as to play Runaway Bay Tavern though, is there any other dates we can help with? We can play for up to 1.5 hrs.
Let me know bro, jak_band@live.com.
Cheers
Andrew

Hey Brendan,
can I ask why the bands won't be paid?
Permalink Reply by Brendan Bostock on November 10, 2011 at 9:45 no idea why the manager doesnt want to pay. Ive tried to arrange something as small as a meal and jug of beer but he's not keen. He said if we promote the gig and get a crowd, he'll give us a jug of beer. Meanwhile, the venue do nothing to promote the gig and they expect a crowd.. all their advertising on Facebook goes towards UFC and Bikini Comps, bloody meat heads...
Sounds about right. I know that often bands are willing to do anything to get that foot in the door but unfortunately that often leads to exploitation.
