THE DEADLINE IS AUGUST 1ST.:

This message is going out to all area bands who would be interested in participating in the ACAC Great Halloween Cover-Up this Halloween, 2010.The Great Halloween Cover-Up is a fundraiser for ACAC where bands do cover sets of another band, usually one that is a classic or something.

The show is Saturday, October 30st, 2010.  This will be the 8th year in a row that we have done the event.  This year we've already had requests from bands wanting to be in the show.  To be as inclusive as possible, we're sending out this request for bands to contact us if they want to do a cover set at the show.

Because every year the ACAC gets more requests than we can pick so we have to use a process.  The board of ACAC looks at all proposals and takes a vote.  A variety of factors will influence the decision like how many people your idea will turn out and how it will fit in with the other bands on the bill.  Also, the more theatrical and elaborate you can make your costumes and stage show will also give you a leg up.  The main thing is just to get in touch asap.

Note: bands don't get paid for this; it is a benefit for a 501(c)3 non-profit, the ACAC, which is putting the money we make into our mission, part of which is maintaining a community-run space for art and music over the long-term.

Here is a list of the previous acts that have been done in years past:
