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 Acacia Strain Interview on Ryan’s Rock Show

I have a pet peeve with the term “music journalist”. I guess technically what I do for Ryan’s Rock Show is a form of journalism, but sadly my image of a music journalist is no longer Lester Bangs. To me, the term “music journalist” has...

All That Remains: The Ryan’s Rock Show Interview

First week numbers are in for All That Remains’ new album For We Are Many — the record sold nearly 30,000 units in the first seven days of its release, landing at number 10 on the Billboard 200. That’s a pretty crazy number considering I don’t...
