Touring booking in the Northeast/Mid-atlantic -- Anyone want to play?

Post by stevejamsecono » Fri May 12, 2023 7:55 am

Hey Gang,

My new band Sorry Darling (FFO: 80s Dark and/or Jangily UK Bands, 90s Radio Mom Rock, Rilo Kiley) is booking a tour around our EP release this September and we're looking for some leads on venues to play and bands to play with. I imagine a few of you here are in cool bands or might have leads accordingly that could be helpful in this!

Here's where we're looking to hit and when --

Friday 9/8 - Wilmington, DE
Saturday 9/9 - Philly, PA
Sunday 9/10 - Upper NJ

Thursday 9/14 - Hudson Valley, NY
Friday 9/15 - Albany, NY
Sunday 9/17 - Providence, RI or New Haven CT

Anyone want to play or got any cool venues/label recs? Lemme know!

We have some feelers out now, but any help would be appreciated :)

Try Prohibition River in Nyack NY. I've played there twice & had a decent crowd both times. Tiny town by the Tappan Zee bridge.

Philly:

Venues & House Show Houses.

Venues:
IDK your draw or whatever so small= Ortlieb's, The Fire, Pharmacy, Century, Grape Room, Kung Fu Neck Tie (up upstairs), Space 1026, Kybher Pass (maybe not though)

Little bigger= Philamoca, Johnny Brenda's, Kung Fu Necktie Regular....(we lost a lot in covid)

Any bigger I assume your booking agent knows.

Bands? Zinsk... things are kinda pop punk in the US., kinda regular punk in Philly.. maybe Pale Shade, Dominy maybe,

And if you are in the humblest of situations and need an opener of lowest draw, I offer me myself. PM for more.

House show places? Hmu.

ETA: DE Death by Indie. Honestly though, Delaware isn't really a different place than philly. Maybe take one or two more hours and go to DC. Maybe Baltimore
If it wasn't for disappointment, I wouldn't have any appointments.

It’s been a few years but there’s the Albany Hollow I think it was called, also there are a few cool venues in Troy you could play at instead (across the river).
