A showcase sponsored by Rabbl, a crowd-sourcing and band booking interface. Rabbl’s interface isn’t really set up for a confirmed booking, so the ticket link is misleading with it’s “should these artists play this show” language. But this show is a GO, and the venue is definitely Double Door. Buying tickets in advance is absolutely the way to go with this show: it’s cheaper by a few dollars, and ALL of the ticket money goes to the artists playing that night (only a small percentage of door sales go to the artists.) So get yer tickets now!
