MY KID BROTHER'S BAND'S FIRST NYC GIG OMG!

-----EMAIL FROM STEVEN-----

So, Fortune has finally looked upon the humble Maple Faust.

We're playing a show on June 11th at Crash Mansion, 199 Bowery, New
York, New York.
The admission is $8 at the door. We get 80% of the box office receipts
(whatever that means, I guess ticket revenue) after the first 20 paid
admissions, plus backline (they have a lot of super nice amps and a
fantastic sound system), hospitality and production.


Hoowwwww might this have happened, you may ask?


We seriously do not know.

They asked US! And we were like, but we're youngins! And they don't care!

The doors open at 7:30 and our time slot is 9:00. They're probably
going to book some awesome indie bands or something. I looked at all
the bands that are booked in the coming months, and they seem to be
mostly punk, indie rock, and powerpop, but towards the end of the
listed bookings it got more and more diverse. In the show booked
furthest from now, sometime in April, the bands The Rosewood Thieves
and The Moondoggies are playing. I looked up The Rosewood Thieves, and
they're sort of like a cross between Bowerbirds and Arcade Fire.

So, it appears that they're diversifying the sounds that they are looking for.


How much more diverse can you get than us?


In the end, we would really appreciate it if you crazy people would
come out and support us, since it will most likely be a 21+ show and
people from our high-school fanbase won't be able to attend. Plus, you
can say you were at the show that got us quasi-underground-NY-famous!


Lurve,
Steven
