***ATTENTION BANDS WANTING TO PLAY IN OUR STORE!!!***
We would love to have your band play at Schoolkids Records here in Raleigh. There are a couple of things we would like you to consider before contacting us about performing here:
1. First and foremost, we are a retail store, not a music venue. We would love to offer our stage to everyone that asks, but unfortunately, it is not feasible. We have a small staff that has everyday responsibilities here in the store. Putting on a show is something that requires extra planning, staffing and scheduling on our behalf. This results in a higher overhead for our business. This is something to consider, especially if you are not promoting a new product. We view in-stores as an opportunity to make-up for this added overhead by selling the product of bands playing. We are also excited by the potential for new shoppers brought in by a band. In turn, we are excited about giving people the opportunity to see a band they love in a more intimate environment or to help an out of town band recruit some unsuspecting fans for their show in town later that night. Thus, the result of an in-store should be beneficial for both of us.
2. In-stores should be limited to one band.
3. We prefer in-stores to be roughly half an hour of music as to be courteous of neighboring businesses and staff responsibilities. This is obviously negotiable on a band to band basis, but needs to be addressed before confirming a potential in-store.
4. Please consider your volume output when inquiring about an in-store performance. We would invite you to use this as an opportunity to re-contextualize your music in a more intimate setting. We have neighboring businesses that we all need to be considerate of. Unfortunately, full drum kits, Ampeg 8x10 bass cabs and half stacks are too much for our small space. Think acoustic.
5. We have an eight channel mixer and two mics/stands. This seems to be sufficient reinforcement for 95% of the in-stores we put on. We have the ability to provide more mics, but this must be addressed and agreed upon before we confirm any potential in-stores.
6. Please consider your content. We have customers of all ages, colors, creeds, shapes and sizes. We don’t endorse foul language or intolerant language of any kind.
7. If you support all of these request, then please feel free to reach out to us! Please include a link to your music and any other information you would want us to know about you. If you an out of town band, please let us know where you are playing.
Greetings. I just wanted to thank you for your continued support and invite you to have a first listen on myspace to the tracks off the new EP "Monster & Minstrel" due out later this month. Bright stars to you! Ahmond

Follow TTWD Fest on Twitter! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is TTWD Fest?
TTWD is an all day music festival held at the Old Gilliam Mill Park outside of Sanford, NC on August 8, 2009. The park is a replica of a 19th century grist mill, and it is a great place to see music. Bands play in an amphitheatre style setting on a stage that looks like the front porch of an old shack. It has sort of an “Austin City Limits” feel. There are campsites with electricity, running water, bathrooms, and showers. There is also a full kitchen onsite, and food and beverages will be provided by Bella Bistro.
Point your GPS to 4613 Carbonton Rd, SANFORD, North Carolina 27330 (This is the closest physical address to the park. The park itself is on Hwy 42 W / Carbonton Road in between Wakefield Road and Pickard Road.)
Hey!! Thanx for listening and being in our circle of friends!! We REALLY do appreciate it!! We're a pretty obscure Indie band so if you think the music is good, please tell a friend about UB. And a BIG THANK YOU for your interest in NEW music!!! Ciao!!
