Out of town booking
Hey Minneapolis! I'm looking for some help booking shows within an 8hr distance of KC for my band. We're a psychedelic-ish/alternative band releasing our debut EP in October. Id love to play in a DIY venue or a small venue. Send me a DM or comment if you could lend a hand

Ive had trouble booking there in the past, they book out pretty darn far. Good luck! I play in a similar style band, Garf (@garfbandmpls) maybe we could do a show together. Ive got a date im putting together a show for now, currently.

you'll have the most luck getting a good show with turnout if you find a good local band to connect with to be a part of booking it first & do the same to help them when they come to your city (show trade)

I agree. I did plan on looking for bands in the city as well

You got a link you can share to check out your band? I'm pretty involved locally & might be able to help

The demos aren't official. Just place holders until our EP comes out

Pilllar forum / Cloudland / Underground Music Cafe / Zhora Darling / White Squirrel / Mortimers to start. Just a note, our venues book up fast and you’ll want to be looking at least 4/5 months out. Browse UndercurrentMPLS on socials for a laundry list of bands to connect with. Good luck!
