Add / Join / Follow Us On Facebook & Twitter - Free Tickets & Shows !

We are probably about three years late on this - but R5 Productions is finally officially on Facebook. It's an easy and quick way to find out about our shows and more importantly - get last minute information like secret shows, band cancellations, venue changes etc. As an incentive to join our group / add us we will be giving away pairs of tickets to all of our shows in October - including the sold out ones! Just follow the link below and "add" / "join the group". There isn't much to look at but we will be updating it over the next few days ..

In other social networking / web 2.0 news we have also started our own Twitter. It tooks us about 6 weeks to understand why anyone would ever want to do this but we finally figure out how to make it useful. Anyways, - please "follow" us on Twitter! We are going to post newly confirmed shows there (as soon as they get confirmed - be the first to know!), show updates (such as when shows get canceled or when get bands get added to shows) and other stuff like "Show This Twitter Message On Your Phone And Get In For Free". We'll also add juicy gossip and commentary such as what bands are being total pricks to us or what bands are acting like sweet apple pie. Also stuff like show reviews : "wow this band totally sux live" etc.

For those not in the know - Twitter is a way to stay continually informed with your friends and other interests such as bands, porn stars, local shops and businesses etc. Your friends post "micro blogs" which are under 160 characters which you can receive on your e-mail, phone or ye ol' world wide web. Unfortunately this could also lead to your friends frequently publishing every minute thought they have ever had as to why their pizza is late or an exciting play by play about them sitting at a corner bar. We promise to never ever bore you with useless nonsense.

In fact, we think it could be pretty useful (such as stuff like "more tickets released for tonight's show!"), interesting (as to how weird the bands are in real life) and funny if you are into our shows. Give it a shot - we promise only good stuff, no bullshit! So 'add' or 'follow' us at the link below:
