The Arkansas Show List
Welcome to the Arkansas Show List! Hopefully this will be a valuable resource for all our members. Listen closely, as this group has some strict, but simple, rules regarding posting. This is to ensure that this is an efficient resource for all Arkansas music lovers.
Note: all show and venue info is member submitted. If you plan on going to one of these shows, it's advised that you independently confirm the information's validity. If you find an error, please do mention this in the applicable topic.
We accept two types of topics, as follows:
Show Information
Topic Heading: All topic headings must follow the following format: date, band, band, band (Ex: 8/1, Pelican, Big Business, Breather Resist, Har Meggido). The bands should be ordered starting with the headliner and ending with the first opening band. In some circumstances, something like "8/1, Pelican and more" may make sense; if so, explain further within the topic.
Body Of Topic: Should include the following: Date of show (including day of week), a list of the bands playing, name of the venue, city the venue's located in, door time, price of tickets, all ages versus 18+ versus 21+ (if known).
Directions to the venue (or instructions on how to get directions) may be needed for house/warehouse shows.
If the band(s) is (are) more obscure than, say, Bob Dylan or Nine Inch Nails, a description of the band/show would be nice. Even if you and your friends know who they are, many of this board's members don't. You could even just cut a description from
All Music Guide, or some such.
Venue Information
Topic Heading: All topics must follow the following format: venue name, location of venue (Ex: Vino's, Little Rock).
Body Of Topic: Hopefully should include the following: Address, telephone number(s), website address.
After this, feel free to discuss things such as: venue acoustics, opinions on staff, state/feel/layout of the club, pricing compliments/complaints, etc.
All other posts must be reserved for the bulletins section. There are many other forums on Myspace, be them band specific, genre specific, region specific, or otherwise. This is great, and everyone is encouraged to make use of these resources. If you have a band, venue, or music-related link that you'd like to see promoted here, send me that link and I will add it to this page. But this group's purpose is focused on two things: promotions of particular shows taking place in Arkansas, and discussions of Arkansas venues.
Some General Guidelines
All styles of music are accepted here. The particular shows that are being promoted depend upon three things: the types of people who join this group, the motivation of those members, and the number of shows which are occurring in Arkansas.
Only one topic per show or venue is allowed. Duplicates will be deleted. If you like, simply post "bump" as a reply to a topic, and that topic will rise to the top again.
Once a topic has been started, you are free to post within anything relating to that topic. I don't want to waste too much time moderating flame wars.
Topics are meant to promote particular shows. If your band has booked a second show, it is in your best interest to start a new topic to promote this new show, rather than using one topic as a catch-all for your band's discussion. Again, send me band related links and I'll be more than happy to add those links to this group's front page.
If you are an Arkansas band that is going on tour, the proper place for this info is in the bulletins section. The forum/topic section is only to be used for shows occurring in Arkansas.
I do not mean for this to be a comprehensive list of every show taking place in Arkansas. It's a list of shows that are of interest to this group's members. I'm sure Jimmy Rotten Snot & The Menstrual Tramps Polka Explosion plays every Thursday at the Coondrunk-A-Go-Go in Hillbilly Valley. If you'd like those shows promoted here, sign up to Myspace, join this group, have all your friends join this group, and promote those shows yourself. -- Dave Wink, Hot Springs, AR
