Hi All!
My open mic at Brink Lounge on Weds 6/16 is seeking local Madison area new and amateur bands to showcase (30 min per band) from 9:30 to 11:30 PM.
First come first served until all 4 slots are filled. All genres welcome.
It is expected for the bands to bring in 5 to 10 fans at least, especially if you want to book a longer show in the future at Brink.
So if you are in such a band, or know someone who is, LMK ASAP.
A PA is provided.
Joe

June 2 Open Mic Pre-Party 8-10 PM
Hi Everyone!
Please come to the Brink Lounge in Madison WI on Wednesday June 2 from 8 to 10 PM for my OPEN MIC PRE-PARTY.
I'll be hosting CACTUS JOE'S OPEN MIC NIGHT at Brink Lounge every Wednesday June - August (except June 9 and July 28) from 8 to 10 PM.
We'll be showcasing bands and artists at each event and Brink wants to have the schedule of performers IN ADVANCE of each date.
So, while it is not mandatory to attend the pre-party (open stage too - everyone gets a go!) on Wednesday June 2, it will be a great opportunity to score a day/time for the summer open mic season because I will have the calendar there.
If you can't make it on June 2, simply E-MAIL ME your preferred date and time slot (it can be 30 minutes or 60 minutes, but if you want 60 minutes, please ensure that you draw a good crowd!).
I will give precedence to bands and artists who show up at the pre-party on June 2. So if you can make it down to Brink that night, I'd love to party with you!
It's cheap wine night on Wednesdays at Brink, if that's any incentive. Red wine is extraordinarily good for your health and longevity.

Come to Fat Boyz Open Mic Tonight! (If you are able...)
Hi Friends!
Once again, Cactus Joe and Fiends will be attending the Open Mic Night at Fat Boyz in Fort Atkinson WI tonight! It's always a rowdy fun time and you should come if you will be in the area.
It goes from 8 to 11 PM - although things really don't start heating up until about 9 PM, you'll want to get there before 9 to score $6 all-you-can-eat-wings (this is not a joke, and they are good wings too) - and it is upstairs in the Hog Den private party room (which has it's own bar!).
The Fat Boyz Open Mic substitutes for Cactus Joe's Open Mic during the off season (through the end of May). My open mic starts Wednesday June 2 from 7 to 10 PM at Brink Lounge in Madison WI, and you'll want to attend the first one of those because that is when we will be scheduling the musical slots for the rest of the Wednesdays of the summer through the end of August.
Yes, of course you can schedule a summer Wednesday slot with me before June 2 via E-MAIL or by simply commenting below. It's first come first served, but there will be NO WALK INS for my open mic this summer (Brink Lounge policy). Sadly, we tried that last year and it was a disaster. On the up side, time slots will be 30 minutes in length, so you can really shine. I'll even give you an hour if you really want it. But you need to convince me you will bring in at least 10 people. Brink likes to make some money...
But that has no bearing in tonight's fun at Fat Boyz, so come on down!

Cactus Joe's Cambridge Open Mic - Next Show = Feb 3, 2010
Hi All!
Cactus Joe's Cambridge Open Mic went successfully on Wednesday 1/6/10 and we produced the show on Saturday 1/9/10 (my birthday!). It should start broadcasting on Cambridge Cable Access really soon, if it hasn't already.
What channel is Cambridge Cable Access, you ask? I have no idea. I don't have cable because I have no time to watch TV. But my roommate Matt does, and so if anybody needs to know and can't look it up E-MAIL ME and I will ask him.
That all said, my open mic will be held monthly on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of each month. The next one is Wednesday 2/3/10 from 7-9 PM at the Amundson Center, 200 Spring St, Cambridge WI 53523.
I have one confirmed performer for that night and I seek 2-3 more to come and perform for the TV show. You get 15 minutes or 3 songs, and it all gets included in the show, along with a link to your web site, MySpace, Facebook, or whatever you want.

Cactus Joe's Open Mic in 2010
Hi All.
We are going to make a heroic effort to get CACTUS JOE'S OPEN MIC going strong in 2010. You can help my attending and/or performing.
We found a great venue: Amundson Community Center, 200 Spring St, Cambridge WI.
It will be held on the FIRST Wednesdays of every month from 7-9 PM, starting Wednesday 1/6/09.
The next one is Wednesday February 3, 2010.
Doors open at 6:30 PM. A small PA for vocals will be available, but you must bring most of your own gear.
ACOUSTIC ARTISTS ONLY for now.
Time slots will be 15 minutes or 3 songs, whichever comes first, and there will be a sign up sheet available on site.
It will be filmed for CABLE ACCESS TV, and edited down to a 30 minute or 60 minute episode, depending on the turnout and performances.
Now that we have our own public venue, it can be TOTALLY AUTONOMOUS and not at the whims and discretions of venue owners, bless their hearts.
I am still doing COUCH CONCERTS at my home, as a separate entity. These can be scheduled any time. Just E-MAIL ME to set one up.
You perform a few songs on my living room couch, then I produce a public YouTube video of it for the world and you can use it as you see fit. It's a sweet deal.
