i dont know how well received they would be in this area, but you should definitely try montclair for venues. when i was in hs, alot of my friends were into the whole punk/indie band sorta thing, and they would go into montclair just about every weekend to watch bands play... from what they told me, there would generally be pretty large crowds

She must know what she is talking about with those boots!

Uncle Joes....oh wait.

Hmmm...not a lot of music friendly venues in town these days. Non traditional might be compatible with Punk.

Lamp Post hosts live music shows. Search other threads here for contacts. Not sure how updated the below is.

The 58 Gallery I believe has had bands play IIRC

Lex Leonard Gallery is likely an option as well.

JRWood-

don't rent the space, seems a little inefficient to me and unnecessary. just play wherever it is you find for free, and try to get free food/drinks from it. most establishments will be willing to host your talent if you are able to generate excess revenue for them; aside from what they already make on that normal day.

some things to think about:

-do they have a following? will they be able to generate income.
-do you have other bands to consider alongside?
-why jc? will they be received well?

let me know how this goes. you need not rent a space, my friend!

Iron Monkey?

I am trying to help out a band from Reno find a venue in the area to throw a show on November 15th. The band is called Cobra Skulls: http://www.myspace.com/cobraskulls

any info is appreciated. They will play pretty much anywhere - all ages preferred.

Thanks!
