Four Star + Crashdown Tour, Help needed.

[Grantticus]

i was wondering if anyone here on UnderGround Scene can help Four Star and Crashdown out with out tour we have coming up that we are trying to book and what not. the priority is these following dates:

17.7.04
19.7.04
20.7.04
21.7.04
22.7.04

Please help us if you can. now, on those dates we would be looking for gigs in Edinburgh, Glasgow and/or Aberdeen. If you could help us out with one gig, that would be great. If you could help us out with two or even three! that would be awesome!
For these gigs, we would only be looking for £30 to £50 and would have crashdown who we are touring with to be paid equally or less than as much as what we're looking for.

Please try and assist us in any way possible. even if it is passing us onto other promoters who can offer us gigs. But just anything on those 5 dates would be amazing, Thank you again

[SuperMike!]

You could start with this fairly comprehensive list of venues, etc and work from there. Good luck.

having to pay for hire of van, petrol and money to live off we felt £30 at the most if possible was a good price because well take BIG famous touring bands... look at how much they ask for per show... some bands ask for like 100 if not more and they might not even be that famous, just big in the underground world. but ok, mibe you're right. but we will try and ask if 30 at a maximum is possible. we are four young bums without jobs... and we're going out on the road with hardly any money at all. but yeah maybe it is a bit much.

suppose, but dont hope for too much.

[The world according to Rye]

You wont really be playing further than an hour away from perth... why not just go home to your own bed an get your mummys to cook you breakfast?

[Grantticus]

fuck that rye. i'll get your maw to cook me breakfast instead. dick.

[njw]

hes right though grant isnt he... when youre a small band like you are all you can realistically ask for is petrol money at the most.

[Grantticus]

yeah i understand that. just trying to get a little bit IF POSSIBLE to live off. and rye was just being gay, why pick on us saying that? cause we're young. thats a shite excuse if so. jsut cause yeah we all still live at home with our parents. so shit. just please dont start.

[SuperMike!]

I don't think he was being a dick. It does make more sense just to go home.

You'll be lucky to get petrol money. Remember you're asking people to put on two completely unknown bands with no profile at all, and asking local bands to bring the crowd.

That said, good luck.

[Red_Baron]

To be honest you'd be best going back to Perth every night. You're gonna be hard pushed to get £30 between the bands let alone each.

Edinburgh and Glasgow are only 45 mins away from Perth and I know this sounds a bit harsh but there are loads of bands
