Topic: Local bands with open taping policies in NYC...

[George]

Ok, i really want to start attending more shows so i can put my gear to work and fool around with all the different mic capsules i have for my soundpro at853's (i have omni's, hyper and cards).  Is there a site somewhere that lists local clubs with acts that allow taping?  Just wondering  

[Arglebargle]

Try jambase.com

[Tim]

a lot fo small/local acts don't care at all.. just show up early and ask them. they may request a copy but so long as you explain that you are not a bootlegger etc. they usually are pretty excited about it!

exactly.  They will also be pretty impressed with the quality of the recording you make too...

Try out the hypers in the small club.

i agree, you will become their new best friend

[nickgregory]

be careful with this though...I did this when I started taping, and ended up sitting through lots of VERY bad bands.  Just try to do some due dilligence before you catch a band...word of mouth, website, something...remember, not all bands that are open taping are worth taping (see John Mayer )

+t for that one.  I've been given so much shit for hating on John Mayer with friends lately, and this just made me bust out laughing.

Interesting, sounds pretty good just by the song that was streaming on her site.  She's playing one gig in the Bronx, but you'd have to give me a heavily armored tank to go up there.  I'll bookmark her url and sign up to get emails when she's touring around, thanks!

As for everyone else, thanks for your comments, i'll definitely check out jambase and start taking to the streets...well...Greenwich Village at least, i know there's lots of small bars, cafes and other hang outs that probably feature starving musicians.  

[Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B)]

Go see RANA they're pretty good and would be  excited to have you taping. SBD, mics, whatever.

I'd suggest Blu Sanders or Ari Hest.  But if people here are raggin on John Mayer, well, my taste in music may not be appreciated
