BOOK AN IN-STORE
If you have a new or recent release and would like to promote it by doing an in-store live performance, stop by the shop or email us to set one up. We generally don’t book in-stores via social media messaging or over the phone, and in-person is preferred. We have a simple PA, 3 vocal mics and 2 DI boxes, with two monitor wedges running a single mix across the front.
We generally host in-stores on a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon, although other days/times can sometimes be arranged if necessary. Please be advised this is a small space – the store has a comfortable audience capacity of 30-35 people at most. If you have never been here, we suggest you come by and check it out before asking to book an in-store. We have hosted everyone from experimental electronica and hip-hop artists to acoustic singer songwriters to punk and metal bands. Artists play a 30-minute set. Apart from the occasional special event, we do not book multi-act shows. Depending on what else is going on, there is a limit to how many instores we host in a given month, so while we cannot always accommodate every artist who asks to do one, we try to fit everyone in if we can.
**Due to performing rights concerns brought to our attention, featured performers must play only original music, and no covers of copyrighted material.** By setting up an instore with us you are acknowledging this and agreeing to play your own original music only, and no covers of copyrighted material. Thanks for your cooperation.
We do not have a “built-in crowd”. Attendance at in-stores is largely dependent on whatever promotion you do. If you have a digital flyer, please email it to us so we can put it up on our site and on social media. We have wall space for a physical flyer if you have one. We do not charge a cover for instores.
