Street parking is free. Park close to the door so you can load in easily – there is plenty of free parking across the street as well.
Bands are allowed one guest per band member, to a limit. See the door person upon check in to work it out.
The Melody Inn closes at 3:00am.
Cover songs are allowed at the Melody Inn but we do love original music!
Punk Rock Night shows are hosted shows. Our host will welcome the crowd and introduce the bands. If you have a special intro, or come out to music, we can work that out.
Help the show move along smoothly by following these tips:
The first band loads their gear directly onto the stage.
The second band loads into the corner across from the stage.
Third and fourth bands keep your gear in your vehicles until the band before you is on stage – then you can load into the corner or set up on the sidewalk and load onto the stage when you’re up. If it’s cold out you can and should bring in anything sensitive to temperature.
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. Let the door/sound person know if you need anything special plugged into the soundboard like keyboards or if you need a mic for a wind instrument.
On regular nights bands split 100% of the door so the more people that show up, the more you make. Punk Rock Night is run by the PRN Foundation – a 501c3 non-for-profit company.
Cover is usually $7 – $8 on 3 band nights and $8 – $10 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. Large touring bands like to use the pool table for merch.
Band beers are available for just $1.00.

We will have event pages on our website and on Facebook two months before the show and will have posters up one month before the show.
