Just to be clear about two things;
Sockpuppet is playing in Portland
Sockpuppet is correctly capitalized.

Erin and I want to go to the LA show, and perform in it in some capacity. If there's time for a Tiny Robots or Merisan set, that would be cool.

Again, it would help if everyone who plans on playing at the three shows booked were to say they were in for each show and gave a sample track for a compilation CD to be left at the venue with show info.

To whom do we submit our track?

Post a link to it here. It will be needed by a few different folks.
I got a note from The Hand Puppets and sn SF show is in the works for Tuesday the 27th. Also, they would like to be referred to as "The Hand Puppets" on all literature.

The Hand Puppets vs. Sockpuppet? Oh ho, a fight to the death.
Well, it would be if they were on the Portland/Seattle part of the tour. Oh well.
Anyway like I said elsewhere, any of the tracks on sockpuppet.us would be fine for use as a sample. 'Birds Of Our Own' is probably the most representative of the Sockpuppet live experience, even if it's totally multitracked.

So has a venue been confirmed for Portland?
Also: is Spokane really off? Is Seattle the end of the road? Big frowny if so.

Count Merisan in for the Berkeley show, too, then. Yay! Here's the URL for our demo track:

Does "Low volume" mean Rods? Brushes? or no drummer?

A little irish pub with good sound and a comfy atmosphere in the middle of the nightlifey part of town. The pictures on the website don't do it justice... it's much grittier. No chicken wire around the stage though, heh.

Spud, I think we can leave the other dates on the poster to make it seem like a bigger deal than it is.
Maybe we could label them as SOLD OUT.

Heh, good one Spud.
And in other news, what I know I can get my hands on for the venue:
- 2+ guitar amps
bass amp (the one used @ SFL-SC)
a whole mess of mikes & mikestands (above & beyond what's already at the venue)
drum kit
Unsure if I can get my hands on a keyboard, gots to ask around.
What else do I need to have available for those travelling light? Requests, anyone?

Rods and a light touch should be fine.

Not to get ahead of ourselves here. But any idea how long of a set we should be planning for?
I figure it might different at different venues depending on teh number of performers.
Thanks.

Spud - any room left on the Seattle bill? I just saw this thread regarding the live show. I haven't talked to the other Klownholers, but we might be able to do it if theres space on the bill.

Cool... hope so. You guys are a neck-punching good time! And if Portland's possible for y'all, that'd rock too.
Listening to the "Get A Life" fight at the bar I frequent, from the opening bars of your entry, the bartender she said "Damn, this rocks". (My own entry was politely ignored, heh...) So you've got the strip club employee vote, and that's always good.
