From the creators of The Indie Bible comes The Indie Venue Bible - a comprehensive directory that features 26,000 live music venues and 2000 booking agents in the US and Canada.

The Indie Venue Bible lists the obvious venues that you can find in any venue directory. What sets it apart from the others is the lesser known venues that you won't find listed anywhere else.

You'll find thousands of coffee shops, restaurants, house concerts, theaters, clubs, halls, churches and book stores - any place you can land a gig! There are also thousands of wonderful venues listed in smaller towns that have been ignored by mainstream venue directories. For example, we have listings for over 300 cities and towns in New York State alone.

To make your life easier, we went a step further and painstakingly researched which genres of music each of these venues feature.

Following its expansion to a two day event last year, the 7th annual Camden Crawl relocates from midweek to weekend in 2008. As well as hosting its trademark melting pot of hotly tipped and breaking new artists alongside special guests and seminal greats each evening, the 2008 festival will grow to include an extensive daytime arts programme including acoustic sessions, live showcases, unsigned band competitions, pop quizzes, fan forums, comedy, performance art, film screenings, exhibitions and more. Furthermore, the planned addition of an outdoor stage and street closures in central Camden Town, London will add a new carnival-style dimension to this already electrifying event.

The 2008 Crawl programme kicks off from noon on Friday 18th April along the mile-long stretch from Chalk Farm to Mornington Crescent. This strip of pavement will play host to 130 artists performing across the event's 25 official venues over 2 days and evenings and into the wee hours of the mornings. One low cost ticket, available as single or two day passes, will allow up to 15,000 music fans unlimited access to all Crawl venues, after show parties and daytime activities. The price also includes a free dbl CD programme featuring a core selection of the artists appearing at the event.

Not unlike last year, 40 bands will appear on the bill both days, alternating venues on Friday and Saturday to allow die-hard Crawlers two opportunities to see their most coveted artists. All other artists will perform on one day or evening of the event only. Upon arrival, each 'Crawler' will be presented with an all-access wristband and CD programme featuring a guide map and timetable for each day's proceedings.

In keeping with the exploratory spirit and musical democracy of past Crawls, the full line-ups and stage times remain a closely guarded secret until each night. Surprise guests may appear at any time or any venue, so festival-goers are advised to arrive early.

Background Information

Prior to the sold out events of the past 3 years, Camden Town played host to a scaled down version of the festival from 1995 - 1997. Although a much smaller affair, the ethos of supporting Britain's developing artists and live music scene through an uncompromising aesthetic, affordable tickets for music fans and by helping to build relationships between likeminded artists was entirely the same. These now legendary Crawls featured inaugural performances by Snow Patrol, Beth Orton, Mogwai and such luminaries as Echo and the Bunnymen, Moby, Tanya Donnelly and the venerable Wedding Present.

A then pending tenth anniversary acted as a catalyst to re-launch the event in 2005 and, following its overwhelming success, the Camden Crawl festival has become a permanent fixture in April's live music diary. True to historical form, the past three year's events showcased early performances by then rising talents who went on to make a significant impression.

These artists included: The Magic Numbers, Hard-Fi, Maximo Park, The Subways, The Kooks, Mystery Jets, The Cribs, Hot Chip, Sway, The Fratellis, Klaxons, The Automatic, Paolo Nutini, Guillemots, Plan B, The Pipettes, Lethal Bizzle, New Young Pony Club, Kate Nash, Calvin Harris and many more. Influential established artists such as Graham Coxon, Amy Winehouse, Charlatans, Babyshambles, Ash, Travis, Dirty Pretty Things and Supergrass have also made an appearance alongside seminal heroes Buzzcocks, The Damned, Billy Bragg and The Slits.

Indie 103.1 Presents Check One Two Mondays

FREE W/RSVP WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MONDAYSCHECKONETWO

Doors: 8:30

Great Northern www.myspace.com/greatnorthern

The Happy Hollows www.myspace.com/thehappyhollows

"Sarah's energy on stage was e-x-p-l-o-s-i-v-e. Her dynamic voice and trademark knee socks came packaged with a writhing sense of rock abandon that made the 3 piece feel more like a 12 piece. Sarah used Silverlake Lounge's tiny stage to its fullest in a schizophrenic performance that left the audience awe-struck." - Rock Insider Blog

"...a combination of detached female vocals, esoteric lyrics (see the palindrome-inspired "A Man a Plan a Canal"), and noisy instrumentation...Tackling not-so-happy subjects like Vietnam foxholes and thieving trolls, while also leaving room for ballads dedicated to wet tongues, the Hollows aren't "happy" per se, but, then, quirky trumps cheery any day of the week." - Flavorpill

KCRW PRESENTS...

Doors: 8:30

Oliver Future www.myspace.com/oliverfuture

ITIS www.myspace.com/itisrocks

The Cheat www.myspace.com/thecheatband

Sojourn www.myspace.com/sojournonline

"Rock always hits a little sweeter when the mofos playing it look fu*@ing great! But that's certainly not to take away from the fact the Sojourn are great players. Despite the predictable rock posturing of the three boys with guitars, it all came acrosss fresh. The highlight of the set was Sojourn's inspired and attitude laden rendition of Brian Jonestown Massacre's "Not If You Were the Last Dandy on Earth". The corridor like format of the vineyard proved a perfect conductor of Sojourn's raw rock power". Dan Watt - Beat Magazine.

Closed: Private Party

Thursday, December 20, 2007

Ride On Rides www.myspace.com/rideonrides

Ride On Rides is a simple band to love - with its mix of 1960's melodies, angular dynamics, and rowdy, free-flowing performances- this combination is assembled around sharp hooks, descending bass lines, Bowie-esque piano arrangements, well arranged harmonies, and boombastic beats.

Raspberry Cocaine www.myspace.com/raspberrycocaine

Raspberry Cocaine is Jamie Tepper, a 32 year old Hollywood High teacher and his trusty laptop. "The music -- damaged, driving electro doused with samples -- is home-recorded and self-released (and has even earned some airplay on Indie 103.1). Working from beside a large screen, Tepper triggers his music plus a slide show of carefully curated images, including album covers, historical photos and pop culture ephemera. In front of the screen, actress/performance artist Princess Pop (a.k.a. Audrey Malone, pictured) mimes, lip-syncs and dances accordingly" (Kevin Bronson). Jamie Tepper describes his musical project as, "a multimedia spectacle."
