Uearthing and bringing forth the underground heavy music scene in the Midwest and beyond as a sign of unity and strength for all who are involved or believe in the music. What is Doomsday? Doomsday is a heavy music showcase paid for by the bands and it's the bands who receive all the profit from the show. We welcome any heavy acts from the Midwest and beyond. We intend to work to highlight the incredible, yet often overlooked heavy music scene in our area. It's a great chance to swap shows, meet bands from the area and have a great time. We also invite labels, the press, and vendors. In 2005 one of our bands got signed and our top attendance ever was over 750 people!!!
When and where is Doomsday this coming year? We hold the show on the last Saturday in January 2007 and it will be at: The Rave/Eagles Club 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave Milwaukee WI 53233
How can my band play? Bands share the cost of the show and reap all of the profits. The cost will depend on the stage you want to play.
The Rave Mainstage - $500/band The Rave Vibe or Bar Stages - $350/band
What you get for the money: Great exposure at a well-established show 1/2 hour set with 15 minute teardown Unlimited tickets to sell to make back your money An equal portion of the door money A pile of compilation CDs to give to friends/fans Plenty of press and advertisement in Shepherd Express, The Onion, websites, and possibly radio ads (depending on cost)
Just send your money, a press kit including a one-page bio, and CD with one song marked for the comp to:
