BOOKING:
Booking requests through this myspace can be done, but are not checked that frequently.
For bands who have never played the court, you will be asked to do a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday night show in order for us to get a feel for you and your draw (we understand it is not easy to draw on a Mon-Wed and we take that into account...we mainly just want to get a feel for you). But these are not "try outs". We also host residencies for more established local bands to work out the kinks on new material or just have a place to play. To book one of these nights, please email: HubCityBooking@gmail.com

Hi Guys- congrats on the new film! Just saw the article in the AP Press. About time you got this kind of recognition.
I also have a blog series (available as a pdf as well) on my site about JP Gotrock and those old days which features the Court. And Neal Schwartz came to see me in my current band Chik-A-Boom in Belmar a few months back and sat in with us- first time I'd seen him since Dave Shearn passed.
