R*E*P*E*A*T does run gigs but not many, 3 or 4 a month at most. That means we really have to love the bands we put on; if you've looked around our website you'll know what that means, if you've not then you're likely to be disappointed. You should probably realise that we're not likely to put on any alt country, r'n'b soulsters, retro metal or twiddly muso wankers. Attitude is far more important to us than ability, but we do love a good tune. And it helps if you can help us pay the venue bills by pulling in a few punters. Tho that's not always essential if you're really that good - send us an incendiary e-mail, spelling out why you're the best band in the world.

What we do

1) Higher profile weekend gigs at The Man on the Moon, these are organised jointly by Seymour of Ten City Nation and me, and feature a mix of name underground bands from out of town (Popular Workshop, Nebraska, Ten City Nation, Kunk, Dexy etc) with new and established quality local bands (The Shills, Anti Social Birn Outs, The Hope etc) - to be honest we're more likely to ask you to play these nights than vice versa, tho there's no harm in asking.

2) New bands ' Nights - currently without a venue. We want to give young bands a chance to play to their mates and the wider world, ideally with one visiting band squeezed onto the bill. We are looking for local bands to curate these nights with us ie chose the line up while we do the organising. Remember tho venues are not cheap to book so we need you to be able to bring in a few punters!

3) Acoustic nights at CB2s - about one every 3 months, with acts such as The Shills, AC Mars, Jordan Hacan Ramone, The Hope etc

Having said all that, we are currently without a venue we're happy with especially for New Bands' Nights, and are trying to sort something out. Hence the delay in replying... while our higher profile Moon gigs and the CB2 acoustic shows are going ahead as planned, we are currently without a venue for new band's nights. We hope to get this sorted before the end of the summer, so if this is you then you may have to mail us again.

In the meantime, other promoters in Cambridge you might want to contact are listed below - but don't tell them we sent you!

Hope this helps
