We're working on securing a venue for Saturday and Sunday. Sign ups will be posted soon after that.

bumping this thread, as Tom from Mercury Lounge posted a few weeks back, but I hadn't seen it to authorize the post. His comment should be on the previous page. hep!

I've got a few people interested (locals and bands that have played past BBQs). Know we've got plenty of time but the sooner I can come at our booker with something real concrete the better.Tom, I'll hit you up. We're still waiting on Sat and Sunday venues, but maybe we should get going anyway.

UPDATE BUMP: Venues: Friday 8/31-Mercury Lounge NYCSaturday 9/1-TBDSunday 9/2-Mercury Lounge (?)Here's what's up with PRF NYC 2018. Friday is a go with Mercury Lounge and possibly Sunday--still have. We could use a hand with a venue for Saturday and possibly Sunday, we are looking at Alphaville and Sunnyvale and possibly Market Hotel (that venue is super cool). Does anyone know the booker/owners of any of those places? I'd rather connect with an interested/sympathetic venue rather than cold calling and trying to have a NYC venue buy off on a 12 band fest.We'll have a backline available. If you're not familiar with loading in at a Manhattan venue, it's a special sort of hell I wouldn't wish on anyone. Please leave the 4x12 at home and use one of the house cabs. More details on that to come closer to the date. I've updated the band list with the list of bands I've reached out too that said they'd be into playing it. Please let me know if your band can definitely make it out and play.

Does anyone know the Market Hotel folks?

I would like to make PRF NYC as inclusive as possible. Bands with women, gender-queer, LGBTQ, people of color, please get in touch. Community should be for everyone.

BUMP. So far, we've only heard from eight bands. Is that all? At this rate we'll probably just have a single day Friday thing.

Non PRF bands are welcome so long as their behind the idea of DIY music and community and all of that warm and fuzzy stuff
