Tech Info

  • We provide our own direct boxes.

  • We typically require 2-3 hours for set up and a minimum of 1 hour for sound check.

  • We have 2 hours of music, generally with a 15 minute break in the middle.

  • We do our own paid social promotion for all shows.

  • We generally charge an admission at the door and are open to price and house split negotiations.

  • We prefer to share the stage only with an opening or closing DJ. Sharing the stage with other bands is extremely difficult with our set-up.
