Hi I Am In This Amazing Band, We Are From South Jersey and Haven't Really Played Any Shows Besides My Dog's Birthday Party. How Do We Play One Of Your Shows ?

Wow ! You guys are amazing ? ..ya don't say.....
Well if you are a local or touring band looking to play out please send any recorded materials you may have to :

R5 Productions

Philadelphia, PA 19147

Please allow about 3 weeks before getting in contact about your demo. R5 Productions only occasionally does shows which means I have very limited space to add bands. If I could, I would love to help out every band that sends something in, with at least just an opening slot. But the reality is I only do 3-4 shows a month. Which means at best there are only 3-4 bands a month that I can add on, as most tours these days are done via the package (bringing 2-3 bands with you). I receive about 10-15 demos a week. Which makes it very hard to get back and help everyone out. Please be patient and I will do my best to help as many people as possible. I greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

How Do I Buy Tickets To Your Events ? I Just Called Ticketmaster And They Never Ever Heard Of The First Unitarian Church etc., They Laughed At Me And Now I Have Low Self Esteem.

We have no plans to deal with TicketMaster or any other sort of ticketing agency, we want to make things as easy and direct for us as well as you. Plus we are punk rock, so we would never ever consider TicketMaster, even Pearl Jam is against them. We offer two easy and available options for you. You can buy tickets in person at AKA Music. They are our exclusive ticket counter which is open from 12pm to 10pm during the week, and 12pm to 12am on the weekends. There is no surcharge and you get the tickets right then and there, no huss or fuss. AKA Music is located at 27 N Second Street, right around 2nd and Market). They are very friendly and the nicest people on the strip. Plus they also happen to have the best selection in town. Option #2 is using our brand new secure server to order tickets on-line. Now you can do one more task without ever having to leave your house.

I Heard That You Don't Pay Bands At All, That Your Venue Is Super Cheap To Rent Out, And That You Found A Pot Of Gold On The Corner Of 7th and South. Why Do You Charge $6/$7/$8 ??? I Bet You Are A Millionaire .This Is Punk Rock ! Shows Should Never Be More Than $5.00 !!!!!!! Everyone in a band should live in poverty so I dont have to pay an extra $2

Well okay, maybe its not that bad. But there has been countless hours wasted on arguing with people as to why shows are $6, $7 or $8. Believe it or not, a lot of these bands get offers to play other clubs like The TLA, The Trocadero, etc. To bring these bands to the various venues I have to stay competitive with these clubs that have other money making methods like bars , taking percentages of merchandise, charging you lots of money for bottles of water etc. This means I have to pay bands more than the major clubs. To do this we need to bring in more money. Hence an extra $1 to $3 from the standard $5.00 punk show. I dont know how many major cities have The Promise Ring or Girls Against Boys playing a church basement or a warehouse in West Philly. Bands get paid really really really well and it will stay like that (thats why they continue to choose to us for shows). Appreciate What You Have. Its better than paying $12.00 at another club. Plus its 2001, shows were $5.00 Twenty One years ago. Wake up and smell the coffee. Its called inflation.
