Every Friday there is live music in The Cave!!!
And of course it's all about rock and metal.
 
Want to play a gig on our stage?
 
Here's how it works:
>Send a demo to:
Rockclub The Cave
Prinsengracht 472
1017 KG Amsterdam.
 
>Or drop your demo off behind the bar.
We'll have a listen and let you know what we think.
 
>You can also send us an e-mail: bookings@thecave.nl
 
If we offer you a gig, the deal is this:
>Bands get 75% of the entrance fee.
This is usually € 3,- when just one band is playing, € 5,- when there are two bands.
So the more fans you bring with you, the more money you make.
>We publicise the gig in the press, on our website and on our bi-monthly full colour flyers.
You make sure all your fans know about the gig through your website, e-mail, flyers .....
>Each member of the band gets 5 drink tokens.
>We have a complete backline on stage and we prefer you to use it.
(This also saves you some expenses.) Check the list >>>>
>Only the vocals go over the PA, the rest of the sound is direct from the stage.
>We have our own sound engineer.
He will need a stage plan and rider at least one week before the gig.
>Depending on the evening / number of bands, we start at 10 or 11 p.m.
The soundcheck is at 7 p.m. and we are open from 8 p.m.
>In short: Keep it simple! Plug and play! Rock 'n' Roll!
