July 8-9 - Detroit/Ann Arbor (fri/sat)
July 10-11 - Chicago (sun/mon)

Damn dude. Can you make ILFest in September in Milwaukee? I realize it is way outside your tour dates, but it would be awesome..

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

i just googled mapped milwaukee to rochester. its far (11.5 hrs), but this sounds awesome! i'm gunna bring it up to the bandmates and see what they think. i think if we play a few shows on our way out there and/or on the way back, it would be worth our while

Dude. I live in Dayton and we would LOOOOVE to have you guys here. Even if we somehow are unable to play with you, I'd be up for helping you book a show.

Your band and mine would make a pretty odd bill so here's my band so you can judge for yourself: http://www.reverbnation.com/meandmountains

Columbus sucks and I would avoid it like the plague. The city is cool but the music scene is awful. If you're looking for a good show, Dayton isn't a bad choice but the best would be Cincinnati. Unfortunately I don't have any contacts in Cincinnati but I could put you in touch with some people who can help you. BTW, really love your tunes.

I came home for lunch just to listen, diggin the tunes immensely! really cool vibe blackbird is fuckin awesome

we are fans of the odd bill, so i dont see any problem with it on our end. we'd love to play with yall in Dayton if possible. if not, we'd def appreciate the help w/ bookings.

maybe we can discuss further via email?

Where are you playing on July 6th? The Bug Jar?
I want to go

[Ghost Hip]

I might be able to get my band to play in Ann Arbor/Detroit. I'll talk to them next practice!

we really wanted to play the bug jar, but they were booked on that day. when we get a venue lined up, i'll for sure let u know man! it may even end up being a house party or something, they are fun to play

:idea: I might be able to get my band to play in Ann Arbor/Detroit. I'll talk to them next practice!

YEAAA!! let us know!

[Rygot]

Columbus isn't THAT bad. Just hit up the ravari room or something.

[Fuzzy Fred]

I'll see if I can get anything up for Chicago with my band. Let me know what I can do

[tim]

If you're going to play Columbus, the Ravari Room would probably be your best bet (afaik). That city is just so hit or miss with live music. We've played there a couple times and it's a crapshoot as to what kind of response you'll get.

If you're going to play Dayton, send some tunes to The Buddha Den. They might be able to help you with booking and they'll promote the show on that blog. That's the go-to spot to find out what's happening in Dayton so nearly everyone here checks it on a regular basis.

Or if you're more interested in making money, there's a bar by Wright State in Beavercreek called W.O. Wright's. It's a total college bar and a lot of douchebags hang out there but it's packed just about every night of the week so the money's always really good. The only thing is I'm not sure how easy it would be to get a show there.

EDIT: Thanks for the kind words about our music!

[theavondon]

I live in TX but I'll be touring the Midwest during that time! I'll ask my band about stuff.

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

Where are you playing on July 6th? The Bug Jar?
I want to go

funny thing, we talked to the guy at bug jar again the other night and the band who was originally booked that night backed out
soooo we are now playing at bug jar July 6th! should be a blast of a show
hope to see u there homie!

fuzzy fred and theavodon, i'm goin to PM u guys to discuss further in attempts to keep this thread from gettin out of hand. thank you for responding!

rygot, thanks for the heads up! we will check out ravari room.

tim, thanks for the heads up as well! we will def look into those 2 venues.
