Title: Touring west from Michigan, do you live in these places?
Post by: rory on April 29, 2016, 08:57:17 PM
I really might not know what I'm doing this time! My noisy punk band Anybody But The Cops is trying to venture west for almost a month this fall.
AUG.
22 - Springfield, IL
23 - St. Louis, MO*
24 - Memphis, TN
25 - Little Rock, AR*
26 - New Orleans? Dallas?
27 - San Antonio, TX*
28 - Midland TX*
29 - Albuquerque NM
30 - Tucson AZ
31 - San Diego? LA? Las Vegas?
SEPT.
1 - San Jose, CA
2 - Oakland, CA
3 - drive day
4 - Portland, OR
5 - Seattle, WA
6 - Boise, ID? Missoula, MT?
7 - Salt Lake City, UT
8 - Laramie, WY*
9 - Denver, CO*
10 - drive day?
11 - Wichita, KA? Lincoln NE? Omaha, NE?
12 - kansas city, MO
13 - Davenport, IA*
14 - Milwaukee, WI*

The ones with asterisks are more or less booked. This is over a week longer than any tour I've done previously. Do any of you live in these places or know people in these places? This is hugely daunting to me, as it seems like most bands I've booked and made contact with over the years came from the south, east coast, or midwest.

I'm from a town next to Springfield but I've barely been back in a decade so I am of no help, sorry. Then again, I live in Los Angeles and I can't help here either. I barely get out to shows unfortunately. I am worthless. Good luck, sounds like fun.

I'm bummed we probably won't get to hang out while you're here. It's just a couple weeks after my due date so things will be crazy. This does look awesome though!!

Haha yeah that seems pretty busy.

I am so far having zero luck in California and am not exactly surprised by that being the case. My lowly band just isn't gonna cut it on the coast like that.

Regardless, would love to run into any pixboard people on this!

Omaha, NE...check out Lookout Lounge.  New-ish venue in town that has been booking a lot of rad shows.

Yes! Yeah I don't know anything about our Portland show yet, but it's looking positive.
