We can not set a date before the show has local support confirmation.

Here is a small list of Santa Cruz bands to consider for tour support.

http://morketiden.blogspot.com/?m=0

The club requires that you make the flyer for the show your profile picture on any social networking sites, and that you make frequent posts about your event, reminding people to come support you.

Contact local media and ask them to do a write-up on your event. Post in local papers online calendars "Club Grid".

Make flyers and set then as you profile picture on social networks. Create events in social networks and invite your fans.

Distribute posters to local hangouts; coffee shops, skate and surf shops, restaurants, record stores, rehearsal spaces and schools.... everywhere that you think is appropriate.

Be sure to bring copies of your poster to the club and ask us to put them in our window.

Thank you.

The following is a media list of editors and music-related journalists you should contact with press releases and kits pertaining to your show. Some media will need this information more quickly than others – obviously monthly publications need greater lead times than daily publications.

General rule of thumb is the SOONER THE BETTER. You need a minimum of three weeks to a month lead time to normally be considered for the weekly papers.
