Performance Time

For guest bands, please note your slot is 30 minutes.. There is an additional 15 minutes for band change. For this reason, we all have to move quick , tuning up before if possible. We have to all be careful not to fall into the trap of a 30 minute set up since it will cause us to run behind and hurt the others going on after. Unfortunately, if you end up using more than the 15 minutes for setup, the time will have to come out of you set.

As mentioned, the time allotted  include setup and breakdown. (should be minimum setup since you are using our FULL back-line, not moving drums or amps.
For the 30 minute set, this would typically be 6-7 songs, unless your songs are long jams. You will be given a signal when you have one song left. Bands that fail to honor the time will "politely have the plug pulled".  Again, please remember the time slot includes band change and setup. Obviously, you should have more songs ready in case your songs are short and you have more time 

Please try to come at least 30 minutes before your estimated start time.

Remember, as it always seems to be with these types of shows, we have to move quick and get everyone up and off as soon as possible. Please be ready to hit the "stage" as soon as your slot is called, try to tune up before if you can. For this reason, our back line of amps, drums, etc is there to make it as efficient as possible.

Going on Later Than Scheduled

As a result of lessons learned after doing 13 Retro fests, we anticipate running over to be minimal. To ensure our start times are accurate, we have added additional lag time between sets. Nevertheless, it may still happen so please understand that the starting times will probably actually be abit later.

Equipment and Back line

To prevent excessive band change time, all musicians MUST use our back line, There will be no switching of amps, drums, keyboards, ect.
