Sometimes, all you got is the music.

About Me


We book shows, record music (BluGargoyl Studios) , edit video, bottom line: We're involved in music!
We are now booking for our monthly event:
"The Secret Room"
@ the CIA
We will be booking mostly Hard Rock and Metal bands!
If interested in the line up, email us here on MySpace. We will set up a line up that benefits everyone!
Info you MUST know:
We book local bands only, if you are an out of town we will book you if you have a good draw in the area.
We book all bands at least 2 months ahead so that we can effectively promote the night's line up! We ask all bands to pay a refundable promotion fee of only $40 which will be returned to you after you get 30 people to your name... In addition, all bands get paid a percentage of the door split between them according to draw. It it important to us that the nights go well and it is crucial that each band does well as this reflects on them and effects the venues position on booking them in the future. But don't worry, we have had much success with this method and we decided to go back to it. Your deposit covers flier printing, each band will receive 500-750 fliers to distribute. BluGargoyl will distribute an additional 1250-2500 fliers at various clubs and hot spots on nights of events. We will need a graphic of your logo and a photo (optional) to use on the fliers. In addition we will post samples of your songs on our MySpace Page as well as on our website. We ask all bands to send us a clip of their song, and video footage if any to have a sort of media press kit to show for that night.
If you are interested in playing shows, and have never played with us before, please send us EPK's only. SonicBids preferred, MySpace is ok.
Thanks,
BluGargoyl Entertainment
