About Me

Amanda Hines is the owner of Lava Booking in Oakland, California. She has been a strong presence in the music scenes of the Bay Area for over 10 years. Founded in 2006, Amanda started Lava Booking out of her passion for music and the necessity to provide Artists a fair deal for their talent. Lava Booking is both a talent buyer and a talent agent. Since Lava's Inception, she has been the talent buyer for 4 different venues in Oakland, CA, 1 venue in San Jose, CA and hosted nearly 150 showcases. Lava Booking works with all things rock, everything from Black Metal to Americana to Indie-Death-Post-Punk-Rock. As long as the music quality meets those of Lava's taste and standard. Lava Booking was the Talent Agent for the band Flametal from 2006 to late 2008. Pegataur (Oakland) and Eyes of Noctum (Los Angeles) are the only bands currently on Lava's Roster. However, in 2009 this will increase. Currently seeking new bands for the Lava Booking roster, Feel free to send promo packs/press kits to: Amanda Hines Lava Booking P.O. Box 30303 Oakland, CA 94604.HOWEVER, to be taken into consideration please provide the contact info. for the label you are on and the publicist you work with, because with all the hats Lava Booking wears, PUBLICITY of your tour in small town America is not the position that Lava Booking will be willing to take on. In addition, plans on expanding to booking events such as: weddings, corporate and private parties are in the works. To purchase advance tickets to any of Lava's upcoming shows visit www.lavabooking.net. On ALL of my local showcases I have a $75 promo fee (making fliers cost $25-30, gas/meter cost flyering once a week at 30 East Bay Locations, plus Lava online promotion time on 14 bay area specific websites).
