The Series on Mondays

The Series is indeed a series, of music performances, natch, that take place every Monday night at Weirdo. Things get started at 8pm, end about 10 or 10:30pm, & $5 donations are requested. The upcoming schedule will be posted here as it comes dribbling in, and snippets from past shows will be available for download too. If you're interested in performing here, scroll down through this page for some sage advice. You can also find out about the history of the Series by going here.

Gory Details:
If you're thinking of performing as part of the Series, there's a couple of things you'll want to know.

First off, Weirdo is smaller than the average college dorm room. A college dorm room with several thousand records in it, matter of fact. Take a look at the pictures. Notice how everyone is standing real close together? That's cause they have to. This means that (a) drums & (b) typical mid-sized amplifiers, while amusing to try & cram in here, won't really fit. Either will basically be useless and will be loud enough to bring the police around. If you play an instrument that needs electricity & there's no acoustic version of it, consider a cigarette amp, pignose amp, or a plugin speaker set made for mp3 players. You won't be too quiet (honest!), mostly because your audience will be close enough to you that you could reach out & pat each of them on the shoulder.

Things generally get started around 8 & are over by 10 or 10:30, and it's all pretty low key. Donations are requested on your behalf, and all handed over to you at the end of the evening.

Scheduling is rather haphazard, so sometimes there might be a date available in just a week or two, while other times things are full up months in advance. However if you're patient, halfway polite & keep on it a bit, you'll find a friendly & welcoming atmosphere, & a small group of people who really listen.
