Gigs at Ben & Jerry's

deathcubek : but that song has gotten so many serenading guitarists laid! how can that be gay? of course I don't know about a homosexual guy serenading to another guy..
 
There's only so much "I'm Yours" a man can take before going berserk.

let's just face it man. we are different. we are just different from them.

but we don't need to go about saying things like "gay stuff". It just makes us look as immature as the bands we are describing. get what i mean?
 
Hi If u're keen, u can call this no 62352467 to look for the manager Mr Jason. He's in charge of managing the bands for Ben & Jerrys.

They only do acoustics sets at the Cathay. Normally u're advise to do top 40s covers. Stuff u normally hear on the radio.

Normally u'll not be paid, but u can try for the experience and exposure though, then if u're good, then they'll groom u and u might be able to play at Demsey BNJ. Over there its a full band set.

Alternatively u can walk in Cathay BNJ to ask for an audition date.

All the best. :)
 
My band covered Underoath and Flyleaf a couple of years back, when the Cathay outlet just opened. Hahaha. Obviously, they never called us for another slot since.
 
please ensure that ur bands dont play before 9 pm, not matter what slot the "excellent" management gives you. Cathay Management does not allow music to be played before 9 pm, regardless of genre. My band had first hand kicking-out experience even though we played good music and random ppl were stopping by to watch.

Probably just a policy they have, sadly. But sometimes the volume at Ben And Jerry's gets a bit loud though; the bass drum can be heard all the way downstairs. Maybe that's why they had the 9pm enforcement rule. It's a nice corner to play in though; I've been there a few times and enjoyed myself. :)
 
from what i heard, the bands need to have a playlist of 80 songs, and the manager will choose any of the 80 songs and ask you to play them on the spot. this is to filter out the good bands from the ok bands.

for acoustic group, i think it's 40 songs.

they're not looking for metal bands as they claim that it would chase away some of their customers. (but wouldn't that attrack metalheads to B&J?) so im guessing they're looking for more mainstream or easy-listening music.

hope it helps

40/80 songs? You sure about that? That's a lot of stuff...
 
i believe "gay stuff" is too much for you kid.
thats a very immature comment.

anyway i think i would prefer acoustic bands to a full band when having my ice cream hoho.

Sorry matured male who can't take a joke. I'm sorry, did my comments hurt you? Why don't you go to a corner and listen to some Mraz.
 
deathcubek : chill man. your gf just dumped you for another guy who listens to mraz or something? you really seem to be looking to take on anyone who's even neutral with "gay stuff" ?
 
deathcubek: if you think that those are gay, can you play half as good as these stated musicians? your sweeping statement also meant that people like john mayer produces music that is gay? please be careful of what you are saying in a forum, respect those musicians even if you think they are not good in your sense. everyone is different. its also simple to give respect, just keep your comments to yourself.

thanx for the info ... groom? that meas they looking for young acts or veterans can apply?
 
A well known act like FGL will melt the place with his appearance. I think all the ice creams have to stand in que to be consumed by him.
 
I heard from someone that she didn't manage to get her free ice cream after the performance! How disappointing! :( But that aside, I think it's a good experience and great exposure!

Haha.. Basically anyone can apply.. No age limits. But if u're selected, u'll be trained by the main band at dempsey, like sitting in during their prac. U know like an understudy thingy. Then slowly they'll trained u up to be the next band to play at dempsey, but i heard its not easy cos its takes a long time. :)
