I'd recommend trying to get booked at the Joiners in Southampton. Great little rock bar, and the management really are into getting smaller bands up there. They've had the likes of hellisforheroes and Oasis play there back when they were minor. I think Franz Ferdinand too.

Here's the website: http://www.joinerslive.co.uk/page.asp?page=home

Let me know if you get booked and I'll come and see you.

Well I was gonna say go for King Tut's in Glasgow, but it's already booked on August 12th. If you can change the Glasgow date, then http://www.kingtuts.co.uk has info. Otherwise, the ABC2 is also a good venue. http://www.abcglasgow.com has a venue address/contact info, I'm not sure how you'd go about booking there, but you obviously know more about it than I do.

I'll come and heckle support you.

Never seen anyone in there, so I can't give an opinion on it, I'll be interested in making the show anyway.

[Steeb]

Birmingham! Woo!

*ahem*

I don't really know what sort of size venue you're looking for - there's fuckloads of them though - or what style of music you play now, to suggest big local bands to contact. Fill me in on those, and I'll help where I can (Y)

Edwards No.8 in Brum is awesome.

[fourstarfizzle]

We're basically a fusion of Chimaira, Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Cannibal Corpse, Job For A Cowboy. Lots and lots of screaming

We're not looking for big venues, we want good local ones, and preferabley local bands of a similar genre who can pull in crowds.

[Summers]

Eddies Number 8 is the place for you, then. Definately.

The bigger place to go in Brighton would be Concorde 2, but thats usually for larger bands.

Check out maybe the Engine Rooms or the Free Butt...both really small, but will get people in.

Unfortunately, I don't know any local bands, so no help on that front.

If you book Brighton, I'd be more than happy to go see you.

In Newcastle you could try the Carling Academy 2 or the Cluney, which is a well smart venue. I won't be there in August, summer holidays, but good luck.

[Steeb]

Yeah, Eddies No. 8 is probably the place to be. I'll see what I can do about hooking you up with some details for similar minded bands too. And I'll be there too, always up for a good gig.

[K]

In london you want Camden. tonnes of music venues, all different sizes.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

The Zodiac in Oxford, small little venue and a great town for metal fans.

[destroyed]

I strongly recommend the Concorde 2 in Brighton, you still get alot of small bands play there quite often.

Got a few bands that might be suitable. Sorting out their details and stuff for you.

Although Crashdown get a special mention - I'll give you their details soon. They're managed by a friend of mine, but they're an absolutely immense band. Not sure if they're right for you, so I'll leave it to you to decide, but they'll pull in a good crowd too.

Yeah, try for the Cluny, Trillians or 'the basement' of Head of Steam...I think they're the places for live music in Newcastle.
