Tonight only!!

[Mooch]

I had to post this and see if anyone has any similar stories about terrible bar/club advertising. Like marquees, flyers and the like.

We have gig this Saturday at a club that used to be an old movie theatre. It has the stereotypical big marquee sign out front.

Well the advertisment for our show said "Saturday 4 Bands".

How great is that! We called and they are changing it and putting our name up. Anyone got anything similar?

Just before Christmas,we were booked for a benefit to help the area's less fortunate have a better holiday. The benefit was put together well,TONS of silent auction donations,6 bands,free food for all,and a LOT of air-time advertising. Everything went quite well,but halfway through the night,I was outside having a smoke,and looked up. On the marquee,in double size lettering was "Needy Kids Benefit" ...that was it. Great turn-out anyway!

This is why you name your band "Free Beer". That way the sign says "Free Beer Tonight Only". Also works for "Half Priced Shrimp" and so on.

Jimmy Lee James has been up on the marquee as Jimmy Lee Jones before.

This is the most annoying / funniest one for my band.



dammit, I said Spinal Tap, THEN Puppet Show.

It had better be AMAZING pasta if they're charging $199 for it!
