I'm wondering if anyone could help me compile a list of pubs, coffee shops, etc in Victoria that host open mics. I'm a singer/songwriter just looking for performance experience and exposure ~ and I figure that must be others out there who would also find such a list useful. So if anyone knows of any good places where people like moi can play, please drop me a line... it would be very appreciated. Thanks! - Wed, 14 May 2003 4:41pm
ho hum Monday - Steamers - mostly college guys that ramble on and everyone's just wishing they'd end so it could be their turn to ramble on.

Tuesday - SuCasa (Blanshard&Pandora in the Ocean Island Hostel) - pretty cool place, the open mic is often pretty dead, but would be worth a shot.

Wednesday - Thursdays (aka Logan's) - very ecclectic, from really good gypsy jazz or country hoedown music to steamers-style sublime covers. They have crappy bands afterwards.

someone else can finish this list... - Thu, 15 May 2003 4:39pm
Anna Ok so what has been determined so far:

Sunday: 3->7pm @ Logan's (with Carolyn Mark)
Monday: 7pm(?)-> @ Steamer's
Tuesday: evenings @ Sucasa Lounge (791 Pandora @Blanshard, in the Ocean Island Hostel)
Thursdays: 8:30-> @ the George and Dragon

Apparently the JBI used to have a jam night, but that ended in December. They do however host a poetry open mic, Sundays 8-10pm, if that tickles anyones fancy. - Sat, 17 May 2003 1:37pm

Anna, i was wondering if you needed a back up singer/accoustic bass player? by the sounds of it we're on the same level (level one). I have some original stuff (mostly about Napoleon and waterfalls) but i would be happy living in your shadow (on stage that is). Email me. - Wed, 21 May 2003 3:20pm
Gray What has your experince been at the open mics? Are they open to differnt types of music? I'm a solo artist and I'd like to play some open mics. My sound ranges from a blend of new wave and post punk to mellow apycalytic folk.n If you'd like to check out some of my stuff it's up here:

ticklefish Gray, what did you record that stuff on? Not necessarily my style, but I am curious as to how you did your recording. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 3:33pm
Gray Taskcam 424, Broken Radio Shack Microphone, Music Studio Pro, Radio Shack Mixer - Not sequenced by the way, that is me playing. Except for the drums - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 2:24am
Anonymous Decent work for such shit gear. But honestly, your tunes need more variety in them, something to really pull you in, they are okay, but very monotonous. Backing vox would make a world of difference too. - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 11:59am

Gray do keep in mind that is a very limited sample of my work and those tracks are old songs. - Thu, 5 Jun 2003 4:32am
