Day of Show Info:
The Melody Inn closes at 3:00am Help the show move along smoothly by following these tips: The first band loads their gear directly onto the stage. Don't hold up the band after you! Don't disassemble your gear on stage - get it off the stage THEN take it apart and put it away - this way the band after you can get set up much quicker. The Melody Inn provides the P.A. complete with monitors, microphones and mic stands. Usually only the vocals go through the P.A. - you must rely on your amps for guitars and such - drums: no one ever has a problem hearing un-miced drums at The Mel but sometimes we mic the kick drum. Let the door man know if you need anything special plugged into the board like keyboards or if you need a mic for a wind instrument. Bands split 100% of the door so the more people that show up, the more you make. Occationally we will need to recoup advertising expenses but only after the bands have been covered. Cover is usually $5 on 3 band nights and $6 or $7 on 4 band nights, depending on how many bands are from out of town. Out of town bands get a higher % of the door than local bands to cover travel. Sell merch if you want - when you check in, grab a table or booth to set up your wares. Band beers are available for just $1.00. There is a place to stay if you need it - ask a week in advance. We promote shows via the website but bands are highly encouraged to promote hard as well - it does make a difference: posters, flyers, handbills, bulletins, event posts and more.
