my names justin, I play in a band called the shanty vamps. We're on a
tour with our buddies No High Fives to Bullshit. We're all kids who
weened into music off hardcore records but somehow ended up playing
pop-punk. So it's a lot tougher than your average "wanna-wanna-girlfriend" variety I suppose - but not by much.
Bands we're friends with and play with, and kinda sound like, to give
you an idea: Off With Their Heads, RVIVR, Drunken Boat, Glue,
Crackbox, Muhammadali, blah blah blah etc
Anyways, we need help with shows in oklahoma,texas, and/or louisiana - we all help run a space here in denver called blast-o-mat - and we're hoping you might be able to help us out with a last-minute show. I know that sucks, but the guy booking us in both Norman and Dallas apparently flaked hard, and if we don't find at least one show, well we're pretty screwed.
WE WILL PLAY ANYWHERE. Early house show, diy spot, warehouse, crappy
"rock" bar, anything! You can make it a free show, we'll pass around a
tip bucket and hopefully sell t-shirts. Seriously, if nothing else,
tell me the dive bar punks hang out at in your city and we'll plug in.
I know it's not much notice, but any help is greatly appreciated - if
you're unable to book it, even just a point in the right direction
would be amazing.
Thanks!
