We will not accept show requests or do any booking through our MySpace page.
Please include all of the following information in order to be considered for a show:
- a link to your website, MySpace page, or EPK, or other page with MP3s
- a list of the area venues you have played and area bands you have played with.
- what date(s) you are available to play.
Local Bands - if you've never played the Lager House
before, you will likely be asked to play a weeknight
or free show first. This will allow us to get a feel
for your sound and your draw. If you draw well and are not too difficult to get along with, in all likelihood you will be asked back.
Touring Bands - Touring bands are welcome at the Lager
House and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
Of course, it is easier to get a show if you partner
with a local band that draws well and complements your
sound.
Any band - local or touring - that is booked at the
Lager House should not have another show booked in the
immediate area one week before, or after, their
scheduled performance. Exceptions can be made at the
venue's discretion. *****Also, Please note that load in time is 8pm unless otherwise discussed with the venue!
Promotions - the Lager House will run show listings in
both the Metro Times and Real Detroit on a weekly
basis. The sooner we book the show, the sooner we can
advertise it. Bands are responsible for any additional
posters or press. Touring bands are encouraged to send
posters for us to hang in the venue.
Payment - Bands split money collected at the door
after the soundman and doorman (if applicable) have
been compensated. Distribution of funds will be left
to the band who booked the show (The more you draw,
the more you make). There are no flat pay guarantees.
If you have sent an e-mail to our booking address and
have not received a reply within one week's time, feel
free to send a follow-up e-mail.
The Lager House is booked through JMC Booking &
Promotions in cooperation with the owners and
proprietors of the venue.
Finally, thank you for your interest in playing at The Lager House. We hope to work with bands and performers from many genres and styles in the years to come. All rules are flexible. We are open to suggestions and hope you bring your best to The Lager House.
It's not really our thing to do the "comment blast"... so we'll only do it when our albums come out, once every two years or so - so don't worry, we won't be flooding your space ;)
Just letting you know that our first album "THINGS LEFT UNSAID" is finally all done, and it's sounding great! You can hear six tracks from it on our page. If you want a copy - and hopefully you do - just send us a message and I'll get it to you ASAP. For only 10$ we'll ship the disc anywhere in the world!
