Geoff Rickly, Zena Rd, & Terrible Things Planning House Shows Tour

by | Sep 28, 2012

Geoff Rickly (ex-Thursday), Zena Rd. (Texas is the Reason), and Terrible Things (ex-Taking Back Sunday) are planning a house shows tour in the Northeast for November/December. 

Those interested in hosting a show should email houseshows@theblacknumbers.com with one’s city and state in the subject line. Photos of the space along with the address must be provided in the email.

Keep in mind the following requirements:

– Spaces should be able to comfortably hold 50-60 people, ideally in a large living room or finished basement.   The space must be large enough for an 8 by 10 footprint to allow for a 3 piece rock band.  Terrible Things will provide a PA and play as a band while Garret and Geoff will play solo acoustic.
– Tickets will be sold ahead of time with no tickets sold at the door.  You won’t have to deal with any money;  you’ll only need to check that people who arrive are on the list of names we send you.
– Hosts are allowed to have an additional 5 guests attend the show.   If you have other friends who’d like to attend, you can direct them to the ticket link for the show.
– You will not need to provide any equipment other than a chair for each person to sit on while they play.
– Your home address will not be promoted or published, and only given to ticket buyers 24 hours ahead of the scheduled show.
– There will be no opening acts in addition to those listed.

The Chariot Interview on Ryan’s Rock Show

Given the current state of the music industry, it’s often hard to know if a band creates art, or if they’re a manufactured product designed to sell. Half of the time at shows, it’s hard to tell if a band is playing for real, or if they’re playing to pre-recorded...
