User Info...
Hi everyone, I'm Clint. I was once, and now again, taking over bookings for V-Lounge @ The Red Lion. We are mainly looking for bands/artists/dj's/promoters for our Thursday night live (other days considered based on offer).

The general deal is, you earn ticket/door proceeds and must pay a sound/room rental of $300 (which is negotiable). We can help take care of hotel rooms (conditional), drinks, promo (IE: Metropol) etc. We also can supply posters and/or handbills to help out! There are of course many other things we can do to help, so hit me up and I look forward to meeting some of you again!

Cheers
Clinton

Good luck getting local bands to play with this room charge. - Fri, 7 Oct 2011 7:26am

Jl: There are a few reasons. One is to pay our Sound tech. Another reason is we are looking for promoters/bands who believe they can sell the room. If someone books and can sell 200 tickets/door @ $7, that's $1400 cash (not bad money).

Curmudgeoon: Maybe, but we haven't noticed. The room charge is negotiable. - Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:13am

If its the same sound guy we had before (Gord) he was very good to us. Check it out and this is on a shitty camcorder.

$125? But that will barely put gas in poor old Gordie's Mercedes. What ever happened to the Venue selling the room and paying the bands to focus on playing the gig? We've all got bills to pay, why add to a musician's...especially those of us that can't afford the Benz? - Wed, 4 Jan 2012 5:42pm Edited: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 5:43pm

LOL...awesome. Yes he does drive a Mercedes. The owner wants it that way, so there is not much I can change. I mean, if you can sell out the room, I could probably convince him to waive it.

if you can sell out the room then the 125$ isnt really going to be a issue will it?.. its more the shows that dont sell out or that dont sell more than 20 tickets (pretty much every show ive seen or heard about at the vlounge) that are going to hurt from this.. or just not book the show.. - Mon, 9 Jan 2012 10:13am Edited: Mon, 9 Jan 2012 10:13am
