playing at the metro club
If you're band who'd like to play at the metro, please note that we mostly book profile shows, meaning bands that are either signed or have professional management or even with just a great vibe about them. That's not to say that we don't have openings for unsigned bands, but just that it is a selective process — down to what type of music you play, available slots on a bill etc. — please do not be surprised if you are not offered a show immediately due to the high demand. There are not loads of slots, so keep an eye on our listings to see what types of bands are playing and to get an idea of the kind of acts we book. Lastly good luck — demos are important to us, but only the good ones! We'll let you be the judge of that.

myspace
We are now mainly booking new bands through myspace. You can still send your demo in too but you're likely to get a quicker response if you contact us through myspace. Send your demos to the address at the bottom of this page, referring to the checklist below for what you need to include in your package.
