Lit is a post punk music venue. However, we believe that punk can also be played on a violin. If you don't understand this semi metaphor or are a little confused then don't submit your band.

We don't want any top 40 wannabees. In fact we don't want any band who has formed for the sole purpose of financial gain and we definitely don't book "Cover Bands". Original music only please.
We like new wave, no wave, noise rock, electro dance rock, brit pop, psychedelic, experimental, abstract folk.

Email music links or send cd.
Please let us know the last local New York venue you played and how many paid customers you drew. There is no fee for a band to play Lit. You are paid on your draw. TOTAL door expense is only $140. $100 to sound guy and $40 to door girl. Bands then collectively split remainder of door according to your draw. Lit does NOT take a cut of the door so we can keep the cover low $6. All shows are 21+. This means band members as well. Sorry Cops are getting tough.

4 bands per night 9pm, 9:45, 10:30, 11:15
Load in 7:15pm
doors: 8:30pm
$6 admission for fans (21+ only)
30 minute sets please
bands get $2 drinks from 8:30pm-1am

BACK LINE:
4 piece drum kit you can all use, 1985(re-issue) Remo Quadura, 22" bass, 16" floor tom, 14" mounted tom, 12" mounted tom, bring all hardware and cymbals. we also have a Peavy mk VII Bass amp and a separate 4X10 500 watt 4 ohm Bass Cabinet you can use. We don't have guitar gear. We have a full 500 watt PA, 24 trk Mackie SR mixer with 3 JBL powered stage monitors and numerous mic's. Capacity downstairs for the bands is 170 people. All our soundmen are very friendly but if you give them rock star attitude it won't help your sound. BANDS please make sure you pick up pay the night you play. I'd rather not hold money any longer for you to pick up at a later date.

we love bands at Lit and hope you love us
