Wow ! You guys are amazing ? ..ya don't say.....
Well if you are a local or touring band looking to play out please send any recorded materials you may have to :
R5 Productions
c/o Sean Agnew
3860 Lancaster Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19104

Please allow about 3 weeks before getting in contact about your demo. R5 Productions only occasionally does shows which means we have very limited space to add bands. If we could, we would love to help out every band that sends something in, with at least just an opening slot. But the reality is we only have 5-6 opening slots available a month.as most tours these days are done via "the package" (bringing 2-3 bands with you). Kepe in mind that we recieve about 40 demos a week. Which makes it very hard to get back and help everyone out. Please be patient and we will do my best to help as many people as possible. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

I Heard That You Don't Pay Bands At All, That Your Venue Is Super Cheap To Rent Out, And That You Found A Pot Of Gold On The Corner Of 7th and South. Why Do You Charge $8/$10/$12 ??? I Bet You Are A Millionaire .This Is Punk Rock ! Shows Should Never Be More Than $5.00 !!!!!!! Everyone in a band should live in poverty so I dont have to pay an extra $2

Well okay, maybe its not that bad. But there has been countless hours wasted on arguing with people as to why shows are $8, $10 or $12 (or more!) . Believe it or not, a lot of these bands get offers to play other clubs like The TLA, The Trocadero, etc. To bring these bands to the various venues we have to stay competitive with these clubs that have other money making methods like bars , taking percentages of merchandise, charging you lots of money for bottles of water etc. This means we have to pay bands more than the major clubs. To do this we need to bring in more money. We dont know how many major cities have The Arcade Fire or Vampire Weekend playing a church basement or a warehouse in West Philly. Bands get paid really really really well and it will stay like that (thats why they continue to choose to us for shows). Appreciate What You Have. Its better than paying $18.00 at another club. Plus its 2008, shows were $5.00 Twenty Eight years ago! Wake up and smell the coffee. Its called inflation.
