Not to complete with Harvard Dan, but I'll throw this one out there.

We are playing Grayslake Summer Days Festival Tonight 8/20 8pm.

We play mostly 90's stuff....a bunch of part-timers who have real jobs, but we at least try to have a good time. :lol:

Now that I think about it, Dan is playing in Dekalb this weekend which could technically be south of 88, but still doesn't help :lol:

South of Willow, east of 59. How about that?

We will play anywhere, but since we are based in Lake County
1. I have no contacts in the south burbs to book shows
2. I have no contacts in the city to book shows
3. Bars expect you to draw people if they're going to fork over the whopping $400-600 for the entire band plus sound. We're not going to draw many in the south suburbs or city since we are based out of Lake County
4. There are 2 or 3 promotors in the Chicagoland area. One we do use, but see bullet #3.
5. The 2 or 3 promoters in the area primarily focus on the overpriced cover bands that make a full-time living off of playing ever people's music. Summer festivals pay these clowns $8-10K a show cause they think that's what draws people :lol: They waste very little time with a band like us that only plays once a month or so.

So Frank or JORR.....we'd absolutely love to play outside are area if you have a connect. We can do 3-4 hours and provide our own sound. :lol:

Ditto...and with regards to #4, yes we cover other bands music BUT not the covers people are expecting. We are now working with one of the promoters mentioned and things are starting to fill up.

Taking nothing away from the rest of your set, these 3 alone sell me on your band.

I proposed Down With Disease, but the others felt it wasn't recognizable enough. Given what we do, they're probably correct.
I love Driven to Tears, but for me....some day....I will play Synchronicity II in a band

Ooh, that would be fun. I've been listening to older stuff and would love to try Deathwish, Born in the Fifties, Live version of Bring on the Night, or Synch I.

I love how you found a way to mix in Firehouse into that set list.

I see you do Vanilla Ice so somebody can kind of rap which means you could.....start Sad But True and bust into American Badass and tear town the house!!!

"Total Recall" sounds very familiar. Has it been around awhile? Have you played in Arlington Heights, maybe at Peggy Kinnane's?

I've been to Peggy's but we've never played there. Furthest south we've gone was Q Bar in Glendale Heights. That was 3 or 4 years ago. We opened for ARRA.

We also do "Nothin But A G Thang', but not for this show. Festival goers may not want to hear "ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it".
I like Kid Rock just fine, but diluting "Sad But True"?? no way :lol:

Why hasn't BigW72 given us any more shows?

Author:  BigW72 [ Wed Dec 29, 2021 3:10 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: My Band's Shows - Total Recall

We haven't booked anything. Options are limited right now. We were supposed to play NYE at a dump in Lake Villa, but that got cancelled.

For 2022, we will be booked at Captain's Quarters in Antioch sometime in June. We will for sure play Grayslake Summer days in August.

More to come....just nothing yet.
