BOOK YOUR BAND!


BOOK YOUR BAND!

The following is intended to be a resource for bands looking for gigs in the Lehigh Valley PA, Reading PA and Philadelphia PA areas.

UPDATE: As of 2015 this information is pretty much out of date except for Kung Fu Necktie and True Blue.

1122 Airport Road
Allentown PA 18109
P.O.T. at Jimmys
Promoter/Booking:
Skip
610-704-8719


1250 N. Front Street
Philadelphia PA 19122
Before the show @ Kung  Fu Necktie
Promoter/Booking:
Jim
Jim books independently at Kung Fu Necktie (meaning there are others who also book at KFN), specializing in old school punk, oi and hardcore shows. "I always try to get as many locals on the bill as possible to get them exposure to a wider audience."


301 S. Carlisle St.
Allentown PA 18109
Yeah, you can skate (and BMX) at Penn Skate while the bands play on!
Promoter/Booking:
John Loftus of Strain Productions
610-205-9262



1402 N. 9th Street
Reading PA 19604
Promoter/Booking:
Chris Mahmood:


Hannae runs the Secret Art Space. One of the coolest venues Bethlehem PA has ever had (and there have been plenty of cool venues - Wallys, 4Gs etc...)
You can either book your own gig through Hannae or work it out with Reject or GSGA:
"Square of Opposition was started in 2001 by 3 friends who wanted to create something meaningful. Time and location whittled it down to a one-man operation. I owe a great debt to Seth, Ray, every band I have worked with, and every person who has supported me/us/them in anyway. Join in the fun."
"I like to focus on and help drone / electronic / industrial / noise / no wave / psych / electro-acoustic / and improv musicians. anything experimental, strange, interesting, outsider."
goodnightstarsgoodnightairlv@gmail.com



Mothers Bar & Grill (21+)
3 Lehns Ct, Easton, PA 18042
Promoter/Booking:
Walt BTB
True Blue Promotions strives to provide the best shows possible and get as many people as possible to participate. We book mostly hardcore/punk/metal bands, but we are always willing to try to help out different types of bands if possible. Contact us here to get your band booked on a future show or if you are in need of filling a tour date.

Contact Walt regarding other venue opportunities where True Blue Promotions books on a less frequent basis. Walt will also be working with Skip booking and running shows at Jimmy's Place.



"To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent." 


"Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been."

Cashing In On Christmas Volume 4


Various Artists
"Cashing in on Christmas Volume 4"
Black Hole Records
http://blackholerecs.com/
This entire series from Black Hole Records is mandatory.

Whether as a digital download or physical LP (which comes in a full color gate-fold jacket, has a red vinyl A-Side and a green vinyl B-Side, and includes a bonus CD version of the album so you can listen to it in your sleigh)!

No need to over analyze this essential compilation (especially the vinyl package). Be assured that this ranges from the lewd and raunchy side of the holidays (only seven of the 16 tracks are deemed "radio-friendly") to a more traditional (yet still deserving to be on this album rather than a Bing Crosby record) style. Just drop the needle on this baby and have a great time celebrating whatever you want!

One of the best things about the majority of the songs in this series is that they are listenable year round. Just make sure the kids aren't around when you crank these mostly "naughty-list" performances.

The cover painting was created by Richard Stone, who has done artwork for the likes of Anti Nowhere League, The Gonads, Guitar Gangsters, The Lurkers and Splodgenessabounds.



The Authority "Oh Come Emmanuel" 
Blessed Muthas "Blessed Chrismas"
The Dirty Shirleys "Johnny Thunders X-Mas"
Dog Company "Snoopy's Christmas" 
Explosive Head "All I Want For Christmas" 
The Flyswatters "Santa's On Acid"
The Gonads "The Greatest Cockney Christmas" 
Guitar Gangsters "Christmas Time Is Here (Oh Shit)" 
Hateful "Hateful Merry Christmas" 
Jenny Woo "Christmas To Me" 
Mad Pigs "City of Nightmares" 
Missile Toads "Ultra Christmas" 
Splodgenessabounds "Fairytale of Mongolia"
Plan Of Attack "Hey Santa" 
Toughskins "It Could Be Worse"
Broken Heroes "New Tradition"





Missile Toads from "Cashing in on Christmas" Volume 2



Toughskins from "Cashing in on Christmas Volume 4"





Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
FRANK FOE
