Attention:
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING 2 IN THE CHEST:
2 IN THE CHEST is a theatrical Metal band with a
stage show in the styling of Alice Cooper, Marylyn Manson or Slipknot. Our only goal is to entertain each and every person, at each and
every 2 IN THE CHEST show.
First thing to know, we do not do ticket
guarantees or pay to play venues!!!
And all fliers must have our brand logo. Seen below.
Second thing, ambiance is very important when
enjoying a performance from 2 IN THE CHEST. Unlike other everyday rock bands,
our stage persona and stage presentation play a vital role to a successful
delivery of our Musical Experience.
To achieve the proper presentation, there are some basic requirements we
must take into account before we can book a show in your venue.
1. STAGE SIZE: We are a full concept band and
stage size is a big concern when wanting us to play as we have several props
that need to be on stage with us during the show.
2. HOUSE PA SYSTEM: We don’t ask too much in
this area. The venue must have a full House PA system, at least two monitors
(front of stage), one drum fill monitor, at least three mics and stands for
drums, two mics for front of stage VOX, three direct channels (two guitars and
one bass).
We are happy to, and prefer to work with a house
FOH soundman, but can provide our own sound-man if needed.
3. LIGHTS:
All shows must have a respectable lighting arrangement as well as
provide a responsible person to run the lights.
Once it has been determined that the venue meets
these requirements, there are a few other requirements needed to accommodate a
2 IN THE CHEST show.
1. Due to the fact that we not only have
equipment and props to load onto, and get set up on the stage, but also the
fact that we need to have enough time to get into our costumes, it is advisable
to have most of our set up already on stage at the beginning of the night, as it
takes at least 15 to 25 minutes for us get into our costumes.
2.
Also because we do perform wearing masks, it
takes a bit longer to properly EQ our VOX. So we do require a sound
check. When doing the sound we do require that this be completed
long before any patrons arrive.
This way the sound-man can adapt the system to match the requirements of
singing through masks. Also, since
we do not allow the crowd to see us before we are actually ready to
perform, we
cannot perform a sound check while a crowd, other than necessary wait
staff and
club employees, is watching.
Lastly, It is very important we be provided a
place to dress and get ready for the performance. It can be a secondary
bathroom, an office, a storage room, something, as we do have a female in the
band and we all need proper facilities to dress and undress, before and after each
show.
If all these things are available, then the 2 IN
THE CHEST show will be a success.
It is our goal to entertain the crowd, to have
them go away from the performance filled with a sense of fulfillment, a sense
of enlightenment and understanding from the stories that we tell and most of
all, a smile. And we go away from the show knowing that our hard work and
dedication to the concept allowed each and every fan to enjoy the show more
than they ever have before, and knowing that the fans will count the days until
the next performance. This is who we are
Peace Love & 2 IN THE CHEST
