Howdy,

I posted an add in looking for shows as well, but I thought I'd do some general reseach myself to perhaps book my own night - I know of Logan's and Lucky's, are there any other venues I should know about? One that can stand a full band, roots-rock-ish, although we could tone it down a bit for a smaller venue.
Thanks for your help!
(and Like I mentioned in my other post, if you'd like any help with Vancouver booking in return just ask! - Wed, 17 Sep 2008 6:44pm

there are always options for smaller venues. I'm sure you could work out a deal with local coffee shops if you want to take that route. some smaller all-ages venues are:
little fernwood (part of the fernwood community center)
banihayan cultural center (might have spelled that wrong. super ghetto place.)
camas anarchist book and infoshop
the sunset room
con brio music

bigger all ages venues:
james bay community center gym
victoria events center
big fernwood
pandora project
open space

not in use anymore:
orange hall
gary / garry oak room


things are always changing, depending on which new venues cordell and friends have shut down and scared away. also look at the past shows played by others in victoria to get an idea. just search for a band name and hit "past shows" to check that. - Thu, 18 Sep 2008 9:56am

lol, it's all about how Cordell is still being slagged on after after what has to have been at least a year of not putting shows on... - Thu, 18 Sep 2008 1:13pm

You can also try the Solstice Cafe and Spiral Cafe. Black Stilt Coffee Shop. The Cambie (in Esquimalt, not Nanaimo). I think all of their contact info is online in various places (myspace, facebook, own webpages etc.) - Thu, 18 Sep 2008 2:11pm
