Venues where your band might be able to perform

American band Mahjongg at Fléda

Justin Schamotta from British indie rock group trousseaux had an interesting question:

we’re trying to book a tour in europe in july 2010. we’d like to play in brno but don’t know any venues? do you know any places that do live music?

I contacted several local clubs, both big and famous and small and alternative. Good news everyone: interesting bands have door opened in several places!

Fléda

Tomáš Ondráček answered: We are a large club, therefore unknown bands have it more difficult. However we can appreciate support bands with individual style. Fléda covers all music genres. Just drop an e-mail to info@fleda.cz.

Podobrazy

Café Podobrazy is focused on live jazz production. “Now we are also preparing some music events in club Šelepka with more diverse genre range,” told me Mario Buzzi, who can be reached via e-mail at mario.buzzi_2003@volny.cz.

Starý pivovar

Starý pivovar is a new club that offers great opportunities even for rookie musicians. Feel free to contact Katarína Kratochvílová at sp@starypivovar.cz.

If you know about any other venue, let me know – I will add it to the list. I am still waiting for answers from more clubs anyway.
