Aug 2014 Midwest Tour -> Need Your Help!

For the last 2 weeks we have been attempting to put together a string of shows in August going out to Nebraska and back. Once again we have hit another speed bump. During our downtime with our drummer situation our booking agent's company merged with another company and very recently we learned that we have been left to our own devices once again.  For the last 2 years our agent would take this work off our shoulders so we could focus on other stuff on our plate.

We are writing this to anyone that can help us fill our tour dates in anyway possible. Even if you can't book the show but can offer a contact a venue to email that would be extremely helpful. Below is a rough schedule of cities and dates that would be the most efficient. These dates and areas are ideal but we are completely flexible as well.  Of the 10 dates listed we would like to book at least 8 of 10.

Thu 8/7 - Pittsburgh, PA

Fri 8/8 - Indianapolis, IN (Last year played Melody Inn)

Sat 8/9 - Cedar Rapids/Des Moines, IA

Sun 8/10 - Omaha, NE

Mon 8/11 - Chicago, IL (Last year played The Elbo Room)

Tues 8/12 - Cleveland, OH

Wed 8/13 - Erie, PA (2 Years ago played The Crooked I)

Thu 8/14 - Buffalo, NY

Fri 8/15 - Albany, NY (Booked The Low Beat)

Sat 8/16 - Brooklyn, NY (Booked Tamaqua Club) 

The venues booked don't have to be the most extravagant and the guarantees could just be gas money. We really just want to get out to these areas that we haven't been before where alot of people have been asking us to come.  All we need is electricity and some fello rock n rollas. Any help whatsoever as small as a slice of pizza is extremely helpful and much appreciated!

Here are some links you can use to possibly land us a show or just promote our name:

Mailing List Updates

For the maniacs subscribed to our mailing list you might be wondering why we have been so quiet. Well it's because we are changing over to a new email marketing service provider soon.  We basically grew out of the old one and we wanted to be able to offer our subscribers the best more efficiently.  We tried out a few services for the past month before finally settling on one. For all you sole proprietors out there the provider we're rolling with is Benchmark.

There will be a few changes due to switching to Benchmark:
1. Q&A will be done through our Reverbnation page: www.ReverbNation.com/MidnightMob
  - Choose the anonymous option when asking the question if you do not want to create a profile. If you do        this please end the question with a name and city and/or state.
  - Any questions asked through Fanbridge have been saved and we're planning on doing video answers           through our new Vimeo channel

2. We are moving our subscriber youtube video channel to a password protected Vimeo channel, which the     password will be forwarded in every newsletter

3. All Mp3 giveaways will now be done through our Official We Transfer Channel

4. For certain shows we will be making a private subscriber only event site, which allows us to provide             certain perks at the show for our subscribers

The plan going forward so far is first Monday each month there will be an email regarding this month's events, first Friday of every month will be the monthly newsletter and the second Monday will be something new where we will recommend certain music related stuff like cd's and movies.

We hope to kick this off this Friday! Any questions/ comments send us an email. Peace!
