Hey, I hate to totally spam you, but I'm having a hell of a time getting a show in Lawrence. Is there any way that you guys could help hook me up with an opening slot?
Yeah, the only way we get shows in Lawrence is to play with Lawrence bands that we are friends with and they are nice enough to bill us with them. I personally am not a fan of playing in Lawrence becuase unless you are a national or at least really-well-known regional act OR a homegrown lawrence band, most of the kids don't pay any attention to you. We've played the Replay, Jackpot, someplace (the name I can't remember) where we played in a basement bar, and now we're playing the bottleneck...but even when there's a big crowd, we haven't gotten a very thrilling response from the locals. I dunno...people in KC seem to like us a lot but Lawrence is just weird about that sort of thing. We get 90% of our gigs out there through Amie Nelson (one of our girls) who all the bands out there have a crush on. She bats her eyes and says, "Hey there handsome! You want my band to open for your band next month?" and they all just melt and say, "Suuuurreee" all dreamy like
