Hey, looking for gigs, who should I talk to

[kristoff]

Howdy there, I am Kristoff from Blackpools one and only ska punk band The Emotional Problems Of Dirk Diggler (Our Myspace can be found here) (http://www.myspace.com/tepodd).

We are looking to get a few more out of town gigs.

Last year I saw my friends band Perfect Riot play at the Zanzibar and it was an awesome gig and really friendly staff and great sound and atmosphere.

I couldn't actually find a website for the venue though, if anyone could help on this front please do. Also any other suggestions of venues where we could play in Liverpool would be great too, anywhere with a more punky clientle or even indie as indie as a fair few traits of ska in it too, yeah so any venues who you think would be interested in putting us on would be great!!

Just pm me, reply to this thread or email me at kristoffska@yahoo.co.uk.

Cheers you bunch:PDT_Piratz_26:
