Hey Brendan,

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

the 12th is booked now but they're always wanting bands.. they usually get 3 bands to play for 45 minutes each..

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.

Hey,

My band "Reset Life" is Pop Punk, and if you want us to play we'd be interested,
have some songs on "www.facebook.com/resetlife"
Just let us know if you'll have us (:

Thanks
Ben

Ive got the 12th already booked but they're always looking for bands, so stay tuned or get in contact with the venue manager.
