Hoosegow tour........
| Message Board > General Chitchat > Hoosegow tour........ |
| jay brown User Info... | So the Hoosegow has been planning our tour of the states for about four months now. Were supposed to leave in four weeks, and they wont let us over the border now because of all the shit thats going on. So now that we've bought all our shirts and other merchandise for the tour, a few grand out of our pockets. Booked three weeks off of work for the tour. Were not going, and were looking for options. We want to go across canada instead. We just got the word this morning, and now it's time to scramble and try to get shows booked fast.So far we've got victoria april the 18th, and vancouver april the 19th. Thats where the tour turned into the states. If you have any contacts that could help us out, for shows, bars, all ages, even a fucking house party. We just need to make gas money to the next shows, and maybe have a couch to crash on. Damnit we've worked too hard on this to kiss off the whole thing. If you know of anyone, throw me a number and a name you'd save our fucking tour. thanks........ Jay Brown. http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/The_Hoosegow/index-1.html - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 7:33pm | ||
| BBJones User Info... | I'll dig up my records from our cross-Canada tour. We didn't play a ton and it was back in '90 I think but If I have anything I'll email it to ya. That sure sucks man :( Can I still buy a shirt? ;) - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 7:46pm | ||
| Suggestion | Try contacting S.Henderson for options. - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 8:12pm | ||
| Anonymous | They won't let you into the US even with a fake recording letter? You don't have to tell them you're touring. - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 8:21pm | ||
| beandead | Jay. this is where http://www.secretarcade.com comes in. You can find info for ALL the bookers and clubs across Canada, and most of them are independent, and good kin. Gimme your email address and I'll put you in touch with some peoples. Some of them you know. - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 8:44pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | The problem is the war starting up. By all reports, the borders are basicaly shutting down. The fake recording letter was going to be method, but in order for that to work, we would have to send our merch down ahead of time(no one goes to record with 200 shirts in the van). The risk of sending our stuff down and getting denied is too great at this point. This is really frustrating as a lot of work has gone into getting it going, but what the fuck are ya gonna do? We're going for the Great White North. - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 9:00pm | ||

| Anonymous | I doubt you're gonna have a whole lot of success booking a cross canada tour in 3 weeks. Bands I know that are heading out on tour mid-April have been booking for months now. I guess you could always try to be "that band" that tries to jump on everybody else's shows though. That's not a good way to go because you'll get shorted on the cash. Been there. Sucks. Good luck. - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 9:37am | ||

| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I just got numbers for Lethbridge and Regina. Let's see how those work. - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 10:05am | ||
| S.V. | Nothing wrong with living wild and free. An impromptu road trip sounds fun! Then you can write a bestseller about your crazy adventures and live off the royalties. I'd buy it ;) - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 10:07am | ||

| jackass User Info... | Ty, send Rousseau an email...he's got lots of contacts. You're a bud, so he'll be more inclined to help you out. you know his email? - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 1:06pm | ||
| ML7Mike | Good luck dudes,, that sucks.. Is it mainly just that your not sure if your merch will get there on time, or does someone have a criminal record? - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 1:17pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | both of the above. - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 4:33pm | ||

| slackerly | try the boot pub in whistler. they always have short notice bands. - Thu, 20 Mar 2003 7:02pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I just wanna thanks everyone for all the help. That's what this board is all about! We're still not sure of the route we're gonna take, but The Hoosegow will be hitting the road in April. http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/The_Hoosegow/index-1.html - Fri, 21 Mar 2003 12:47am | ||
