Book Cartel At Your College

[Rohan Kohli]

Cartel (http://www.cartelrocks.com) would like very much to play at your college. If you book bands for your school and would like Cartel to pay a visit to your campus in September, please email RO@wma.com - serious inquiries only.

i would for my college but it's not worth it

edit: for them i mean, i would feel bad because like no one would be there

[chcougar1]

if Washington State University books Cartel I will punch some people..because I graduated from there last year and we NEVER had any good bands come....except like Weezer, Atreyu, the used, and jack johnson

[preppyak]

see, Cartel could be huge at my school, but we only have an enrollment of 2,000, so I doubt they'd even come.

[irthesteve]

i want them to come to UCI... but how do i really have any say in this? i'm a starting freshman in september

[i like guitars]

they already played at my school last fall, i guess i might see them again this coming fall

[kara5419]

UNLV! do it

[ClemTiger0408]

The problem is logistics. Cartel will want too much money for the radio station to book them but they aren't big enough to play at our arena. Pretty much all the bands I listen to fall in this area. The "biggest" band we (I work for the radio station) booked last year was Bullets to Broadway and Valencia (who had to cancel).*

Now, if Cartel is willing to play for cheap, then man, I'd be all for it. Its not even that long of a drive for them to come Clemson from Atlanta. It would be amazing if they came here right before they got huge.

* EDIT: I forgot about The Prize Fight

Wish I had a say to come to SUNY Brockport. Saw SoCo a couple years back and Dashboard last year. As you can see, they pick pretty well. :)

Better than St. Bonaventure, we always come up there for shows. lol We had Howie Day and Ben Folds this year. Both put on good shows but the majority of the student body doesn't care.

We have the same problem though, our radio station is phenomenal, heck we play Cartel, but we don't have the budget to bring them I am sure and our Student Activities director could really give a crap.

[fedhed7]

Come to my house please.

[ClemTiger0408]

Yea Cartel was in the Top 10 at our station the entire time they were in rotation

[Caleb Cattivera]

i wonder how much it would cost.

[BrokenWindow]

I wish I could somehow get on this commitee at my school because they get some not so good acts to come. I mean we just had Less Than Jake for free (which was cool) but then we got Twista. I tried to get them to book The Starting Line awhile back but they didnt go for that. If Cartel sees this, please come to U of South Florida in Tampa, we love you down here!

i dont get it

[YourLatestVicti]

I would love for my school to book Cartel, last year we had a bunch of awesome bands so getting them wouldn't suprise me.

[joeshmoe909]

Michigan State for sure. Hehe I got The Starting Line last year, lucky me. Allister this year was fun.

[preppyak]

i dont get it
yeah, Weezer and Jack Johnson seem like fairly large names to me...

I mean, all we had was Jason Mraz (before A-Z), and Ben Folds Five (which took out entire budget for the year)

[nonameguy99]

Ann Arbor please!

[jhennis]

Indiana University please! We got Mae and Circa Survive last year, that's it...

[RememberFminus]

theyd get insane turn out at Virginia Tech. and maybe id get a chance to ask them if they like being identical to so many bands.

[chcougar1]

i dont get it


yeah sorry i kinda contradicted myself there....i'm saying that we RARELY get good bands:)

but i guess occassionaly we do:)

[Roboman]

And then they would get the chance to ask you why you're always such a condescending asshole.

[Smithers]

go play my alma mater. WSOU could definitely set up something worthwhile.

[SettleDown81]

orgasm...hope they come to hofstra in Long Island

[violencexgrace]

Mmm, Cartel at UCSB. Truckstops & Statelines (The Academy Is, Accecptance, Panic, and Hellogoodbye) rolled through my campus in the Winter... and it was one of the best shows I have ever been to. The crowd was amazing in the "we're-18-and-over" way. We also randomly had Daphne Loves Derby in the Winter, Halifax a month or so ago, and Sherwood a couple weeks ago. It's hard for me to grasp the collision of school and shows. It's really strange.

[dukeboy1986]

according to concert ideas, they're asking for 7-10k.

That's quite a bit....

[aloneatlastnj]

rowan university has had some pretty good acts in the years i've been there.

catch 22
the starting line
the early november
streetlight manifesto
straylight run
jonah matranga
tokyo rose
sherwood
outsmarting simon
mobb deep
tracy morgan
dane cook
lewis black
carlos mencia
bob saget

[chcougar1]

That's quite a bit....


is that really that much 7-10k? I guess they arent very well known, but STILL that doesnt seem like that much money for a university to put into a show...but i dont know what the average or norm is so i guess i cant compare

[Nate_RAWKS]

serious inquiries only.


Could you come play at my college it's called Nate State? I'll e-mail you the directions.

tx.

:sadangel: wtf.

[whipcream4teen]

If anyone on here goes to UCF.... get on this!

It really depends on the university. For an act like Cartel at a univ where people don't know them, that's a lot. For a univ where everyone likes cartel, that's a great price to sell out a concert that only cost them 7-10k. I run into this problem a lot, since I am president of my college's concert committee. I go to school in Mississippi, and well, we all knows that this type of music is not that big down there. So I have learned to measure bands not by what I think of them and their price, but how the campus views them and how the band's asking price fits that. So unfortunately for us, we normally have to go for top-40 type acts, or long-time staples in the music business in order to have a thriving budget. Another example... I was contacted today by The Blood Brother's agent, wanting to see if I could book them this fall. Sadly, I probably won't even bother replying because that would be shot down, crashing and burning, long before they could even drive to our school.

[plain white t's]

yes well noone eva comes 2 my school except one boy band once

Never say never...I'm a music director for a college radio station outside of Columbus, OH and I booked a show with Waking Ashland for $1200. Just be positive!!

[mikearduini9]

i hope they can come to Penn State Behrend... we've had New Found Glory, Punchline, The Starting Line, Rufio... it'd be great to add Cartel to that list

[mikearduini9]

theyd get insane turn out at Virginia Tech. and maybe id get a chance to ask them if they like being identical to so many bands.

you're attempt to be cool was a complete failure, sorry my good man.

[1000shadesofred]

arent they just doin what yellowcard and mae have done... stupid little worthless college tours??

[piaffeprncess98]

I doubt they would come to my school, but I still wish they would.

[PunkRocks]

The agent said they're quoting at 10-12.5k now.
