So you want to book your band at Annie’s Social Club?

First Timers

Step 1: Make sure you are ready to play Annie’s Social Club. This means that you have at least two of these four items checked:

* You have already played out with your band.
* Your band has single-handedly sold out the Concord Pavilion, more than once.
* You can honestly say to yourself, and can draw more people than just our immediate families to our shows, on a Monday.
* Your name is Joan Jett.

Step 2: Send us your music and some information on your band (old flyers, a list of who you played with, where and when, and/or a short bio). These things will all help us put together a great show. If your band has recorded on vinyl, we prefer it. Contact information is at the bottom of the page.

Step 3: Make some form of contact either by email or phone. Check with us on your submission, but not too many times. Remember that a lot of people will be sending us their stuff, and give it at least two weeks after mailing it.

Once you have a show booked with us:

Check your calendar and make sure that you have not booked any other local shows at least 2 weeks prior to your show with us or 1 week after.

If you have any special needs, make sure you tell us at the time of booking (or before) i.e. your band refuses to perform on stage, only on the floor in front of the stage.

Promote the shit out of your show. If you have a good show, we will be able to book you again.

Make up handbills to tell the world that you have a show at Annie’s Social Club. Or, if you are too poor or too lazy, call us and see if we made handbills that you can pick up and pass out.

If you are planning on posting flyers on city streets, make sure you have read and are following the guidelines found at: http://www.sfgov.org/site/uploadedfiles/sfdpw/bsm/signage_code.pdf.

Make sure you contact us to advance your show at least five days prior to the night of your show.

On the day of your show, remember, We want a good show for you. No one is working against you.
