Please stick to your scheduled slot and keep sets to 30 minutes max, 20 minutes for my band.
DCxPC Live prides itself on putting the punk in punctuality. Running on time keeps the night smooth for everyone. Plus, it’s always better to leave people wanting more versus wishing you had played one less.
I will have a timer onstage keeping you to 30 minutes, so if you break strings, bring an extra guitar. We won’t give you extra time if you have to change a string. Your amp catches on fire…that’s another story. LOL.
PARKING & LOAD-IN
Parking is street parking in front of the venue or around the corner on E. St. James Street.
If you find a spot in front of the venue, you can load in through the front door. If you park around the corner, you can load in through the back door.
Odds are you’ll approach the venue from the traffic circle. If you do, don’t go onto Broadway where the venue is. Take the exit onto Albany Avenue, take a right at the first street, and then turn right onto Broadway.
This will let you either park on the street in front of Night Swim or turn right onto E. St. James Street to park.
Turning left onto E. St. James Street from the traffic circle is illegal.
First band load in on stage. All other bands store guitars, heads, breakables in designated areas in the same side room the merch is in.
GEAR / BACKLINE
I prefer that all bands share gear or use my backline.
Drums
I have a Tama four-piece drum kit, five-piece if you need it, with:
• Snare stand
• Three cymbal stands
• Hi-hat stand
Even if a kit is shared, drummers still need to bring their breakables:
• Cymbals
• Snare
• Sticks
• Throne
• Bass drum pedal
Guitar/Bass
I have:
• Two Peavey 4x12 guitar cabs
• One Hartke 4x10 bass cab
These are guitar and bass cabs, so you’ll need to bring a head.
I do not have combo amps. If you’re using a combo amp, let me know.
If you have any special equipment needs, such as a mixer, horns, etc., please let me know.
If someone really wants to use their own cab or drum set and you’re willing to share it with all the other bands, let me know and I’ll be happy to not haul everything.
MERCH
We will have three 6–8-foot-long tables set up in the side room adjacent to the show room for bands to set up and sell merch.
HOSPITALITY
Food: $5 meal tickets worth five dollars off food menu items at the bar. Vegan options are available. When you use these tickets, you must pay the food tab when ordering. It can’t be added to any other tab you are using.
Drinks: One drink ticket per band member, which covers a beer-and-shot combo, most other beers, wine, some call shots, well liquor, and N/A beers.
PROMO
I’m printing:
• 11x17 posters
• 8.5x11 flyers
• Handbills
I’ll be posting them around Kingston, New Paltz, Rosendale, Saugerties, Woodstock, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, the Catskills, etc.
If you’re local, or have friends who are, DM me an address and I’ll mail some out.
I’ve already submitted the show to the event calendars of Kingston Happenings, Chronogram, Hudson Valley One, Poughkeepsie Journal, etc.
When posting, please invite all bands as collaborators and tag the venue.
Also make sure to tag the flyer artist: @edzomby
I’ll also be running targeted social media ads approximately 7–10 days out.

EVENT STAFF
My “backline” — the folks who support me and help keep the show running smoothly.
Dez – DCxPC Live Sound Engineer
Dez handles sound for 99% of my shows and makes bands sound amazing. He has multiple DI inputs, plenty of mics and stands, front floor monitors plus a drum monitor, multiple subwoofers, and can handle in-ear monitors.
Savannah – DCxPC Live Production Manager
Savannah coordinates pre-show logistics and helps run the event day-of through production support, staff and performer communication, and troubleshooting as issues arise.
She will also be creating the IG reels to help advertise the show.
Arsenic & Willy – DCxPC Live Stage Crew
They handle the door, help with load-in, stage and merch setup, and jump in wherever needed to keep the show running smoothly.
Aaron – DCxPC Live Staff Photographer / @put.over.photo
When he’s not playing in Half Dizzy, he’ll be there to capture all the action and excitement.
Chastity – DCxPC Live Staff Photographer / @horrorqueenphotography
Assuming she’s not exhausted from her birthday show the night before at El Dorado, she’ll be there to help capture all the fun, especially Half Dizzy since Aaron will be onstage.
All of them work incredibly hard to support my events and the scene in general, so please say hi and let them know how much they are appreciated.
