HOW TO BOOK A GIG AT OWLS CLUB

January 28, 2018 by Raw Materials

OWLS CLUB is a Veterans Hall at 847 Dovercourt Road. It's also a sweet spot to throw a show. Here's some info to help you go about it...

BOOKING IT:

  1. The best way to secure a date is to visit the basement on Saturday afternoon.
  2. Take your hat off at the door, and ask at the bar to speak to Anna (she might be playing darts).
  3. Introduce yourself and ask about the availability of the date you're planning. Anna has a calendar there and should be able to answer you directly.
  4. Make sure ahead of time that your lineup is solidified and can draw enough people to fill the room you have in mind (50+ in the basement / 100+ in the upstairs hall).
  5. Leave your contact info (phone # preferred), and plan to return with a poster for the club; they like posters :)

*You can also call Owls and leave a message, but given their hours of operation, they might not get back to you right away: (416) 532-6920

THE BASEMENT:
*THURSDAYS are open for show bookings with NO RENTAL FEE if the event can draw a crowd that brings in decent bar sales.
*There are two passive PA speakers on stands in the basement. You'll need to bring everything else: a powered board or PA, drums, amps, microphones, stands, cables, and the monitors necessary for your gig.
*Showing up early and sound-checking is recommended (you do your own sound).
*Also, you run your own door, so bring a float.

THE HALL:
*All nights of the week require a rental fee (price dependent on the day/type of event/expected attendance/time of year/ect).
*You must provide all your own gear and sound for the show: PA, amps, drums, mics, stands, monitors, cables, ect...
*Showing up early and sound-checking is highly recommended (especially considering the halls' size).
*You run door upstairs too (bring a float), and there's a cool desk with cash drawer that you can use.

Owls keeps bar $ and you keep door $. Keep this all in consideration, and your show will be a hoot!
