It has been reprinted here as a public service of RattleHead Records. About six bands a month are regional and another six are national. There are certain things we tend to book more. Hardcore more than blues. I prefer to book more toward hardcore and punk because it works better in this room, but I'll book any good act.
Local bands get a percentage of the door.
The bands then split 75 percent of the remainder of the door. The quality of their songs, energy, emotion. An old hardcore band has energy and emotion, not because they are wonderful musicians. It's about emotion, anger, how it makes you feel. Some of my favorite bands I like because the songwriter is miserable and I want to feel miserable.
