1st annual Adventure Club holiday party / open mic - Munich

This Sunday, the 17th of December, we will hold the first annual, Adventure Club Holiday Party / Open Mic Night in Substanz. There will be no cover charge and there will be free glühwein (until we run out).



There will also be live performances from some of the best bands in Munich who have played at The Adventure Club over the past year, like:

Celest
Mexican Elvis
Dear Henry Bliss
Manuel Klein

plus, new bands who want to give it a go, open mic style, like:

sup with pluto
Doktojewski
Grand Day Out
The Silver Flies
Beyond Silence
FENS

but this time open mic means that there is a fully-setup stage, complete with drums, amps, guitars, etc. Some bands will play acoustic, some not. Only the night will tell...

So come in from the cold and celebrate the local music scene with us, at The Adventure Club.

Doors: 18:00 (that's when the free glühwein starts)
Bands: 19:00 - ??

sounds cool, but what's the deal? with that kind of line-up in store, what is the realistic chance of us lurkers getting up on stage spinning our magic webs?

anyway, we are a couple Toytowners. actually, we got together through this site, didn't we Kym?

check out the wonders of the power of Toytown at our lil' ol' music site here ROADSIDE REVIVAL

rock on...

p.s. anyone know of any decent jobs available?

i think there will be additional time towards the end of the night for acoustic acts who would like to play. stop by and bring your guitars - otherwise, you're welcome to play our guitars...

hope to see you there.

thanks Brandon! it looks like a great evening of live music.

wondering if you do a regular open mike? Is this just an end of the year showcase? knowing how these things work, I don't think there will be a heckuvalot of time left over, but sounds cool for music lovers...

i don't do a regular open mic, but i can recommend the one that they do every month in cord (sonnenstr.). they just started this series, but i attended one a few weeks ago and it was really good. they end the night with a singer / songwriter after all of the other acts (who showed up on the night) are finished. it's hosted by a scottish guy called alister. there's also a great backdrop of the city below, since one half of the club is all windows.

regarding the adventure club tomorrow night, i must admit myself that the response from bands has been overwhelming. i got a confirmations from even more bands who have played or will play at the adventure club over the past few days. so, the lineup now includes:

Five!Fast!!Hits!!! - these guys played at the very first Adventure Club last year and meanwhile, have gone on to open up for bands like Art Brut in the Elserhalle, do a UK tour, and headline a number of festivals last summer, including theatron.

Phil Vetter - singer / songwriter who just became the first artist to sign with substanz records. phil played at the adventure club in may 2006 and has been busy ever since, putting out a full-length cd and touring europe to promote it. luckily, he's in town for the holidays and will play a few numbers on sunday.

in addition to these guys, MöBEL KRöGER will now also be playing a few songs as a preview to the "regular" adventure club in january, where they will be performing alongside The Jetnicks, LAZY, and E.Z Basic (from Budapest).

however, if you come on the night, we will still do our best to try to get you on the stage. just ask around for me when you get there.

hope this helps,

brandon
