| BURNED: General Info

| Member Since | 3/27/2007 | | Band Members | FEATURED VENUES:
HOOK, LINE, AND DRINKERS
In the fall of 2006, HOOK, LINE, & DRINKERS, a supposedly nice bar in Portage Lakes, booked the band ALONG FOR THE RIDE for a gig on Saturday, March 31, 2007. The gig was listed on the bar's website at www.hooklineanddrinkers.com/CurrentEvents.aspx The band prepared a lot of publicity, and started sending out emails the week before. On Tuesday, March 27th (4 days before the gig), the band received the following email:
FROM: "Terrie" (terrie@hooklineanddrinkers.com)
SUBJECT: RE: SAT MARCH 31: Along For The Ride at HOOK LINE & DRINKERS in PORTAGE LAKES!
DATE: Tue, 27 Mar 2007
Due to a double booking Hook line and drinkers will be unable to have you in this Saturday please give me a call to reschedule I apologize for any inconvience.
Terrie D
("General Manager" of
Hook, Line,& Drinkers)
===================
Terrie did not really want to discuss it on the phone, and as of yet has not replied to an email asking what other dates are available. The band does not believe this was a simple "double booking" since it was posted on the bar's website. Our opinion is that the bar just did not care to honor their contract because they wanted to give the Saturday night gig to another band that was the friend of the owner. If Terrie or anyone else from the bar wishes to respond, we will certainly post their reply here.
SUGGESTED ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE:
- If you are a musician considering booking a gig there, MAKE SURE YOU GET A CONTRACT SIGNED WITH A CANCELATION CLAUSE AND A DEPOSIT.
- Write or call Hook, Line, and Drinkers, or email Terrie and ask her to explain her side of the story. If you feel that the band's story is true/accurate, let her know that you will boycott the bar until they have "satisfied" the band and BURNED has posted an "All Clear"
- Become a "friend" of BURNED and publicize this site to your friends. The more friends we have, the more bar owners will respect the power of this site.
Note: When we have too many "Featured Venues" we will keep them listed in our blog. Please submit any venue that you would like featured in our comments section. Try to tell the whole story and all the facts. We will delete any postings that slander bars or individuals, but we will allow you to post all the facts related to an unfortuneate incident. Please be sure to include names, dates, phones, emails, etc.

We hope you never have the need to post here, but if you do, you know you will be helping the northeast Ohio music community.
