oh8sti Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I know some of you guys are in local bands and play music. I thought id share about a local band that is doing very well here and that I happen to be involved with. It might not be your style of music per say, but they pull from many different genres and have built a worthy fan base in this region because of their unbeatable live set. In November they sold out the Newport (1,700 person cap) and we had to turn away about 300 that couldn't get in because of fire codes. A lot of big things are happening with labels, touring ect. and its cool to see they are local guys. The last "big" local was OAR if you want to consider them local. Here is some stuff from them. Its all work safe, no swearing, no BS, just good music and a white kid that raps. Oh and Jeffro has been to several of their shows. Thanks for the support man, it doesn't go unnoticed. Here is the website if you want to know more about them and what they do. http://twentyonepilots.com/home.html Live at the Newport in Nov. Here is an example of the diversity in the music. Much softer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRPaZHo_T6A&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Im in the music video! Look forward to future shows. I read that the last time newport sold out to a local band was like 1995. pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah that's true Jeff. I believe it was OAR and the cap then was like 1,300. We are flying out to LA for a week on Friday to meet with labels, including Redbull Records. Apparently they have a nasty headquarters there. There won't be a Columbus show till sometime in the April timeframe and it will be at the LC due to crowd size. Ill keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 There is a huge following in Cinci. How big is bogarts? Will it hold 500-700+ people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_in Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've only been there once last year to see the Maine (ex-girl was in to them), but I don't remember much about Bogarts itself since I wasn't sober. It seemed pretty big and open, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ill look into it. The booking is going to be taken over by CAA from LA coming soon, so we won't be booking shows. If its a big venue i can make a suggestion to the booker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 So what is it you do with/for them? Promoter/manager? Just being nosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 So what is it you do with/for them? Promoter/manager? Just being nosy I grew up with Tyler (he is Twenty One Pilots). I know it sounds dumb to say "best friends", but our families spend christmas together and vacations as well. I started helping him out a few years ago with driving around and setting up type stuff. To help them gain ground my dad offered some of his networking to the music industry and then it kind of took off from there. My role now is a paid position as their official tour manager. I deal with all things tour. Promoters, venues, logistics and currently i accommodate labels when they fly out to see us while on tour. I also do all the driving (which i love).
