GBM is a street-level free-form livingroom-WIFI coffeehouse-gallery- performance space and IS OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK FROM 11:00AM TO 2:00AM and till 3:00AM ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY - COME RELAX IN OUR BACKYARD SCULPTURE GARDEN STUDIO!!

GBM is freeform music, ten-tons of vinyl, books, tchotchkes and extreme eyecandy overload; I've had to shuffle thousands of things around until it became safe to walk in and have a cup of coffee and that's when i opened (september 2005). Heck, they're even talking about us in them fancy newspapers and magazines! GBM In The New York Times!!!

BOOKING:
1 - If you want to get a show, look at our MYSPACE calendar (www.myspace.com/goodbyebluemondayinc) and find a few dates or slots that could work for you. If there are 4 acts already on the bill, move on. Look for TBA slots. If there's less than 4 acts but no TBA, it means supporting acts are being added by one of the bands that are already booked. Contact them if you want to try to get on that day's bill.

For open dates, you can bring a supporting act or 2 w/you if you like. The house keeps first slot, bands can fill the other three. Just let me know when you contact me.

2 - When contacting us, don't forget to give us your myspace url written out and a short bio/description of your band.  Also, if you sign up for your own Reverbnation account, that will make you extra promotable and will automatically link your calendar to ours through the magical Reverbnation system.  Another bonus is you can put the reverbnation calendar on your myspace page and other websites so you can update once to update everywhere.

3 - Be patient. We'll make something happen.

4 - Sets are 39 minutes long or less. If you're THAT good, the throngs of your faithful will hoot and holler and I will cheerfully relent and allow an encore.

5 - ALL SHOWS ARE 21+ unless otherwise noted.

6 - Show starting time is approximately 9:15pm for first act,REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT SAYS ON MYSPACE.

there are glitches on their calendar i can't control.

You can do the math from there on....

7 - Honoring your commitments;

Bands are responsible to contact us if there's a problem ASAP. If you're booking a "show", you're responsible to give us a lineup at least three weeks in advance of date. If you don't, i start booking your "show" slots, ending with your own slot the week of the show, meaning you don't get on stage for that date. Fair's fair. I have rent to pay and need to occupy space and time in order to do so.

Bands who simply don't show up needn't bother contacting us ever again. There's no excuse for bad manners.

WE STREAM ALL OF OUR SHOWS LIVE! WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING, DON'T FORGET TO CALL YOUR MOM IN PORTLAND OR YOUR FRIENDS IN OSHKOSH AND LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE ON THE COMPUTER-INTERWEB-THINGY, PERFORMING LIVE AND IN PERSON SOMEWHERE ON THE PLANET!!!
