Title: Peter Murphy
Post by: Tonorro on June 07, 2008, 10:58:00 am

Peter Murphy has an open date on July 1 and he is playing in Baltimore (Rams' Head, ouch) on 6/30.
 
 How about booking him for a late show (After Cute is What ...) on 7/1?

I second that! It's nice thinking.

Don't be lazy, drive to Baltimore for Peter Murphy to cancel on you last minute.
 
 There's no way he'd be able to pull a show in both cities on back to back days at these two venues, especially a Monday and Tuesday. Maybe if it was booked at Fletchers and Rock and Roll Hotel. He'd be lucky to break 600 people still interested in him at one venue, let alone packing two clubs.

Oh i'm not being lazy. I just hate going to Ramshead. I'd rather support local and real music venues instead of the applebee's of music venues. (Yes I'm anti-live nation!)

Rams Head is not a Live Nation owned music venue. They are locally owned just as the 930 club is.   Though Live Nation does a portion of the bookings.  
 
 just to clarify.

I've never been to Rams Head but I hear the sight lines are terrible and it likes the intimacy of the 9:30 club.  PM gets a lot more animated if he can sense the crowd and I was hoping the 9:30 club would get the local booking.

Oh I didn't realize that. So let me get this straight, Rams Head is locally owned but doesn't do their own booking? or doesn't do most of their own bookings? I just find that a bit weird.
