Info for Bands.
Load in at 7:00pm (Sunday – Tuesday) and 8:00pm (Wednesday – Saturday) through the back alley entrance of the club. Please check in with the bartender or sound engineer before you load in. They will give you instructions and open the back door. The first scheduled band of the night can load their equipment directly onto the stage. The middle and last bands will be instructed to stage their equipment in our green room. All bands will get a line-check before their set. Early load in and soundcheck may be available upon request. Please check with our booker at least 2 weeks in advance if an early soundcheck is needed.
Show times will start at 8:00pm (Sunday – Tuesday) and 9:00pm (Wednesday – Saturday) *unless otherwise noted.* The first line check will start a half hour before the show starts. Typically, set times during the week are 8:00, 9:00 and 10:00 and 9, 10 and 11 on the weekends. We ask that the first and second bands play 30 to 40 minute sets. The headliner can play a little longer if desired, but should really keep it between 45 to 60 minutes unless you’re Guided By Voices, Mudhoney, Pavement or The Who.
Parking: Street parking only. Please let us know in advance if you have a larger vehicle or a van with a trailer.
