TLG had their last record release parties here. From reports of those 2 shows, this place is pretty sweet.
It fits abt 300-400 so if The Breakfast can pull in even 1/2 that it would be real good for them.
It will also help that this place is a bar people hit anyway no matter who is playing that night.
Promote the heck out of this show!!!!!!!! NYC needs more Breakfast.
don\'t worry leith i\'m already well on top of it.
confirmed. this saturday is off from work. give me a friday show!
that head of that figure hits the stairs pretty hard.
I cant believe that place holds 400... From the pictures I figured 200.
Coda has a reputation for having good bands so that will help bring in some walk-up customers.
A lot of people find stuff to do and see in the city by looking through the free papers. Because of this Coda maintains an ad in the weekly free papers that lists their upcoming shows. The band might benefit from an ad in there that lists some high-profile sounding dates leading up to the Coda show as well as the Coda show itself. Maybe even tag a mini-tour name on it to make it sound like an event as opposed to just another show. I don\'t expect ad space to be cheap but it might be worth consideration. The papers also have weekly event listings which the band should try to get listed on. I am not sure if they charge for this.
Here are the papers I am thinking of
The Voice
New York Press
The Onion
Posters tend to get lost amidst all of the other mega-budget ads vying for space on subway walls and construction sites. Madonna at MSG, Ghostface Killah\'s Fishscale, Morrissey coming to town etc. are all battling for my attention on my commute. The Breakfast can\'t compete with that scale of marketing and should not try. I find that personal interaction and free stuff works best in this city. Engage people directly, transfer your enthusiasm and then give them something tangible for free. Standing outside a venue and handing out flyers tends to result in a lot of trash on the ground. Attending a show by a different band and handing out flyers/sampler disks to people you meet and chat with tends to result in more people at the Breakfast.
Sorry for the ramble. Spacey can I get some flyers?
been to coda a handful of times in the past 6 months. nice place. should be a good night. not much of a beer selection though. $5 bud bottles=ouch(yeah its NYC but still).
time to start talking people into going.
