hobohunter48 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I possibly have a contact in Lincoln, NE for July 30 but I'm not sure if they do the booking for the venue anymore so I'll check that out. And if not you should check out Knickerbockers in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theambulancereview Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 All ages or will you also play 21+ venues? We'd prefer all ages venues, but not completely against age restrictions. I possibly have a contact in Lincoln, NE for July 30 but I'm not sure if they do the booking for the venue anymore so I'll check that out. And if not you should check out Knickerbockers in Lincoln. Awesome! Please shoot me an email if you hear anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemjfan23 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 tom is one of my best friends, and i'm incredibly happy and proud to be putting out some of his music. "Okay, Awesome." (one of the songs on AIR-002) may be my favorite song he's ever written, and considering i've been listening to his songs for almost 5 years now, and he's been putting out music for more than 7, i think that's a decently big statement. we would all really appreciate it if you could help out with a show, or with some contact info of somebody who can. if you want to pick up the split, please do so when they come through town! or feel free to check out www.artisticintegrityrecords.com to stay updated with all of my releases. lots of big things coming in the next 3 months...

maneatingcow Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Are you looking to fill the dates with a sad face and ???'s ? If you are I might be able to help with the July 2nd date. Appleton WI has a decent punk scene and has a handful of venues that might work. Plus just about in the middle of the Milwaukee date and Minneapolis date. If you are looking to fill those dates let me know I'll make a few calls and see what some of the local people who book shows have to say.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 For Chicago Lollapalooza is August 3rd through 5th. That might affect things a little bit. And for Milwaukee Summerfest is June 27th-July 1st / July 3rd-8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you in Chicago. Sounds like a plan! Can't wait! if you were up to toronto, i may be able to help. good luck! Maybe later this year? We'd have to acquire passports and whatnot. Would be fun!

We're really trying to have a good rest/drive day every now and then. The cities we picked aren't set in stone, and we have no problem changing a city on any date as long as it's on our general route in accordance with the next one, so any help is greatly appreciated! Let me know what you hear! and thanks!!!!! For Chicago Lollapalooza is August 3rd through 5th. That might affect things a little bit. And for Milwaukee Summerfest is June 27th-July 1st / July 3rd-8th. Thanks for the heads up! We can switch a few things around there. Appreciate it!!
