"Need a venue to host your show?
Silvie's Lounge is currently booking bands to fill some slots in the North Center of Chicago. Open dates for the following months: January, February, and March. Each band will get to play a 45 minute set, set(s) start each night every hour on the hour punctually at 9 PM.
This is a great opportunity and venue for music and for those of you who want to make a few $$. You will get compensated directly based on your fan demographic for the night. Silvie's Lounge employs a tally system. Cover/Donation is typically, but not limited to, five dollars. Bands will get their entire tally less a ten dollar fee per band for the sound technician, (i.e.: draw 22 people, make $110, earn $100 ...very simple).
That said, it is very important that you promote your show appropriately to make some real $$.
