About Me

"Helping keep kids off the streets since 1998...by leading them into a dark seedy alley."

Unfortunately, due to the great volume of booking inquiries, and our limited ability to respond to these inquiries, you are not likely to receive a reply to booking related emails and MySpace messages. The Smell does not have one central booking person, and most of our shows are set up by the bands themselves. Therefore, the best way to get added to a bill is to contact the bands on that bill directly.

For more information, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
