Help! Bands/Venues Needed!
Hello everyone!
I'm booking this crazy Road to Oprah (www.roadtooprah.com) tour and I have a couple of holes to fill and I NEED HELP!!
If anyone has any venue ideas (and especially CONTACTS) in:
Las Vegas, NV (October 5th!)
Charlotte, NC (October 19th)
Chapel Hill, NC (October 20th)
New York, NY (October 25th)
Philadelphia, PA (October 23rd)
Chicago, IL (October 30th - November 1st)
We are looking for clubs, bars, universities, house parties, other bands to jump on a bill with, etc.
Please let me know if you've got any suggestions!
Here's some information about this whole project, which you may really dig:
The 1 Second Film is a non-profit micro-collaborative art project employing new media to create social change. This fall, we are touring the country on the "Road to Oprah" with a documentary crew and the popular Los Angeles-based folk/Americana band The Evangenitals (www.myspace.com/evangenitals).
What are we doing on the Road to Oprah? We are making a movie, playing shows, doing presentations, creating art, video blogging (thanks to a generous sponsorship from Apple computers), and collecting producers in an attempt to bring the world together through micro-collaborative art while en route to Chicago to ask Oprah for $1 in order to join the 7,900+ producers of the 1 Second Film.
The best part is that the whole thing is non-profit and bio-diesel and all funds go to charity when it is all said and done. What could be better than that?
Our school bus has sleeping cots and kitchen, awesome and attention-getting exterior paint job, credit-stand caboose, and a bunch of other down-home features that will help to make the experience of 8 people living together on a bus for a month a bearable one. We simply need assistance finding places to park while in different towns, groups of people to present our music and message to, and the occasional hot shower.
We have, can, and will present and perform at bars, clubs, schools, houses, cafeterias, dorm rooms, hospitals, tattoo parlors.... you name it, we'll play it! We simply need a space and a time and we supply the rest.

About The 1 Second Film:
The 1 Second Film is the start of a 5 Phase Plan to bring the world together, one second at a time, using collaborative art and media to create social change. The film is micro-financed; for $1 anyone can be credited as our producer alongside celebrities like Kiefer Sutherland. We currently have over 7,900 Producers from 51 different countries, and have raised over $200,000 dollar-by-dollar. A feature-length making of documentary will play during an estimated 90-minutes of credits, detailing how art can bring people together. Our documentary will culminate with our Road to Oprah tour.
About the Road to Oprah:
This fall, our documentary crew will embark on the "Road to Oprah," a 45-day 10,000 mile bio-diesel journey that will end in Chicago where we hope to ask Oprah Winfrey for $1 to join our producers. Along the way we will be presenting The 1 Second Film and our 5 Phase Plan at 30+ universities and house parties, while fundraising to finish our documentary.
The Presentation
The presentation is a 1-hour multi-media keynote given by director/creator Nirvan Mullick, an award winning animator who began the project while a graduate student at California Institute of the Arts. Nirvan weaves together entertaining videos, photos, and stories, detailing the viral growth of the project through unconventional marketing and open source tools. The presentation is followed by a Q&A session and a live-performance by our road band, The Evangenitals.
The Band:
The Evangenitals ( www.evangenitals.com), a popular Los Angeles-based "cow-punk love-rock revolution" band, will be traveling in our bio-bus, performing songs about The 1 Second Film's Road to Oprah, and the epic quest to bring the world together for one second. The Evangenitals' first album, We Are The Evangenitals, has a 5-star rating on both CDBaby and iTunes. Their much-anticipated 2nd album, Everlovin, hits the streets on October 9th.
