FAT BABY RULES
We would like bands and promoters to be able to come to us with a full line up of at least 3 bands. If you need help let Volkan Eryaman know and he can contact other bands. Below is some information that provides you with an incentive to set up full line ups on your own.
Cover charge at our shows are normally $7 but this is really up to you. We take the first $70 made at the door per band/1 hour set. If you book at least 3 bands altogether then we will lower this to $50 per set. You keep all other profits. We ask that you don’t put more then 1 out of town band on the bill unless you are absolutely confident that they can help bring in a draw. We also ask that each band be able to bring in at least 10 people. If this might be a problem let Volkan Eryaman know in advance so maybe you can work something out.
We also want to accommodate out of town bands as much as possible so all out of town bands that can fill up a bill with other LOCAL NYC bands will have their overhead cost waived and can keep 100% of their door sales. Its not hard to find other NYC bands, you just have to do some research. You can even go to the fat baby myspace and search through the bands that are friends with us, and then search their friends as well. This is a great way to easily fill up a bill. Find one band you like and ask other bands on their top friends list if they would like to join. Please DON’T send any requests to our MySpace page because we don’t check those messages.
