No other bands scheduled for next week 5/13, so you're in if you want. Don't forget, we don't have a backline, so you'll need to bring your own drums and amps.

Hey, I think my band Funktion Jungle can play next Wednesday...Let me know if we should come down

We do not have drums, unfortunately. You can treat this like a gig though, it's more than just an "open mic"... and Traxx is looking to book bands, so this is a good opportunity to "audition" for a Friday or Saturday slot. So far the first 3 nights we had a band play and jam a whole set, with their own equipment, and all 3 times were a blast. We could get by without guitar or bass amps by using the PA (I have a good preamp/processor, and wireless), but drums will be needed if you want to play with the whole band. If you want to come yourself and play along with backing tracks, you can do that too (I was doing that last night)...or if there's a band there already, maybe you can jam with them, or use their drums, if they're cool with it.

Ok cool, we will try to get there for sure. Do you have a back line? All we need is a drum set...

We do it on Wednesday nights.

Tonight is no good, but what about next Thursday?

Still interested in doing the open mic? Maybe tomorrow night 4/22? You could treat it like a rehearsal.

We're rehearsing at Ultimate Sound tonight, we're going to do a real rough recording of our set. We're basically a hard rock band, lots of solos, plenty of gain, we're only a trio right now (looking for either a keyboardist or axe slinger)... We'd definitely be interested in playing at the open mic.

Hahha I'm always on Long Island craigslist - traxx was getting some serious negative press on there...same goes for that "cosmos moon" band. Anyways, cool video clip I'll let you know when I have some audio clips for you to sample

I've been to Ultimate Sound Studios in the past. Yeah, I know a few places you could play. As a matter of fact, my friend and I just started running an open mic night at Traxx in Ronkonkoma on Wednesday nights. You're more than welcome to come down and check it out. Check out these links for more details:


Introducing, Audition night, Open Mic.

Let me know if you want to play, what's your band like? You can even play without your band, whatever you wanna do, it's very informal. You can even treat it as a rehearsal.
I'm doing the sound, my name is Adam, come down and say hello.

Really? I rehearse over at Ultimate Sound Studios in Ronkonkoma actually.
I actually live out on the eastern end of long island, Hampton Bays.
Do you know of any good venues to play on LI that will take original bands?
