Bands will be billed for damaged equipment in the appropriate circumstances.

held from that nights settlement to cover the cost of any damage incurred.

Promotional Info

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 04:42:12 +0000

By agreeing to perform, we ask that you promote this show to your fullest capability:

Please make sure the venue has 5 posters/flyers for inside the venue.
If you send us additional posters/flyers, we will assist with putting those up outside of the venue in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
Please alert press, radio and blogs to your upcoming show. Below is a list of local outlets.
We create Facebook events for almost all of our shows. It works best if both the band and the venue to utilize the same FB event (instead of doubling-up our efforts) as we also often link to these events in our advertising.
Out of respect for other venues, we also request that acts not play another show in Chapel Hill/Carrboro two weeks before or after a show here.

Rental Info

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 04:41:31 +0000
