BooM Bash making plans for 09. Stay tuned... Posted at 5:14 PM Nov 24, 2008 view more
About me: So you want to play at the monthly BooMBash...READ THIS FIRST!
1) The BooMBash is a monthly show featuring bands with ORIGINAL music.
(No copy/tributes. There's a place for that and this ain't it.)
FYI: There is a DJ --different room-- send us a msg if you're a DJ.
2) You need at least 40 min of music. Acoustic openers only need 30 minutes.
3) Yes, there is a SMALL pre-sale ticket requirement. This only done to satisfy the club...usually 10 tickets.
But listen up bedhead, it's YOUR business too. Yeah, like it or not, your band is a business. Don't give us this "it's an art" bullshit. You know as well as we do that part of the dream is to make some fuckin' moolah. So, put on your big boy pants or you big girl panties and sell 10 lousy tix. It's simple math when you think about it. Every band has at least 10 friends who think you're cool, even if you suck. (Please, don't suck, even if you are a punk band.) Ya know? Besides, it's a helluva lot more fun playing in front of people than an empty joint.
And here's the cool part, read number 4.
4) Bands KEEP 50% ($5 per ticket) of each ticket after/above the pre-sale ticket amount. That's nice, right? We aren't greedy. We WANT to take the sting out of pay to play. Dig. You ARE getting the picture here, right?
5) You MUST bring people!!! You gotta draw like flies or ants to honey, baby. (Ants in the kitchen, thought I'd let you know... great song. But we digress.)
Oh stop crying. We know...we all HATE this; but, if you don't draw, you can't play at a BooM Bash, period.
You know the drill. It's what we in the biz call symbiosis. Or Win-Win.
In other words, it's about the bar. If the venue gets nothing out of our relationship with them, then what the fuck? And that's show business. Yeah, it sucks. But in real life the radion station that everyone is dialed into is, WIIFM -- What's in it for me? In this case the bar has got to make money. Or the Boom don't get to Bash.
So here's the dope:
You need at least a 30-40 person draw....These are WEEKEND slots, which is pretty fucking sweet. (If you don't have a draw come back later once your draw is there! Seriously, don't waste our time and your money.)
6) You MUST do your part, aka, promote your band....We have hired a Publicist and design team for EACH BooM Bash....This is part of the deal: She will promote the night, the bar, and your band! You're getting some fucked up graphics, massive internet publicity, calendar postings, social networking, blogging before and after the event, photos at the gig to be posted on myspace (if you want the images afterward hit her up she'll gladly share), and whole lot more. As the Boom Bash grows, the marketing package will grow too. Pretty fucking sweet, right?
By the way, how many pay to play situations pimp your fucking asses out as part of the package? Most expect you to do ALL the work and the ask that YOU pimp the host company. We don't. We know how it is. We come to you as a partner in this. If you need help or are stuck, let us know. We're here to help. (The cloven goddess is a marketing maniac and runs an advertising and marketing company during the day. She's got a wicked head for this shit. And she fucking loves music and freaks. Go figure.)
7) Speaking of wicked bitches, IF you want your band's fucking logo on the flyer, the web flyer and anything else we cook up, here's the scoop Bunky:
You must submit it to us in PRINT READY RESOLUTION.
Got that? We'll say it again in case you're sucking a bong or swilling a coldie. Submit your fucking band logo to us in PRINT READY RESOLUTION.
What does that mean? It means you don't wanna piss off the cranky goddess and not get your logo on flyer. So send it over at 300 Pixels Per Square Inch or 300 DPI. We'll do the rest.
Don't send us your fucking internet logo or it won't get used. If we have to recreate it for print because you're pissing and moaning about your really bitchin' super cool logo but you don't know the difference between web and print, the goddess is gonna charge your tiny ass about $150 per hour to do so. She's not kidding and she will collect, even if she has to take your first born or your left nut, she will collect. (She's connected to some very scary scaly horned collection agencts, trust us. We've seen her in action and it ain't pretty.)
Logos: 300 dpi. Send 'em over to Boom and he'll handle the cranky cloven hoofed daughter of darkness. Otherwise, dudes and dudettes, you're on your own.
8) Boom Bash is open to all styles of music except Jazz/Country. Sorry, it's just not the crowd we want to reach and it's not a good fit for the venues we work. Otherwise we're looking for Blues to Death Metal, and pretty much anything in between --including Rock en Español, S.A.
9) There is room for your Merch....The house NOR do Boom Bash take ANY of your Merch sales. (Again, nice. Right?)
10) Send your EPK to: thefootiments@yahoo.com
11) Send us a Friend Requests:
myspace.com/theboombash
myspace.com/boom7
myspace.com/clovengoddess
12) Finally, the BooMBash is about having fun. If you take yourself too seriously or have some sort of ego issues, like believing your own press, we don't want you. Seriously, this is a "no wankers" zone.
Life is way too short. We're all in this shit together, let's make the best of it, or have fun burning the city down!
Who I'd like to meet: Rockers; Party Animals; Metal Heads; Punks; Anyone who loves music and a good time; Other musicians; No posers; No wankers; Hot women; Things that go bump in the night; The monsters under your bed. The skeletons in your closet. Your sister.
Wow! Thanks to all my wonderful friends, I made the top 20. So many sexy girls to choose from. Now the voting starts all over, so please place your vote for me in this final round. New pics and video to be uploaded later today :)
