Booking:

To be considered for a booking at Arlene's Grocery you need to send an email request to julia@arlenesgrocery.net. The content of your email should include links to web pages. MySpace generally freezes any computer, so if you have sonicbids, bandcamp, soundcloud, Facebook (only if you have music on this page) use THOSE instead.

Let us know the dates you are interested in as well as a contact phone number. We do not accept attachments. We do not review CD or EP demos, press packages, etc. sent by snail mail or dropped off at the club. We are unable to respond to every request or follow-up inquiry, but we do review all submissions and will contact you if we have an appropriate opening to offer. If you haven't heard from us after 14 days and would like to re-submit your request, feel free to do so. The folks at Arlene's Grocery appreciate your interest in performing at our club and look forward to hearing from you and listening to your music.

History:

Arlene's Grocery (yes, it was a grocery) opened its doors in 1995 - breaking ground in the then treacherous Lower East Side. Upcoming bands flocked to the seedy neighborhood to experience the sonic beauty of the smaller 150-capacity room which played host to garage rock, punk, and bohemian newcomers, such as Jeff Buckley.

In the late 1990's the club branched into the butcher shop next door and became two rooms under one roof. As the neighborhood gentrified around them, the Lower East Side became the hub of NYC rock. The club hired a Live Rock N Roll Karaoke band who became an instant hit in the city, attracting New Yorkers and tourists from all over the globe to catch a glimpse of celebrities, such as Moby, belting out AC/DC. Shortly after, Arlene's garnered more attention - becoming home to The Strokes, and then booking a residency by The Bravery, which would land the band a deal, and propel them to fame.

As a handful of live music clubs pop up (and down) around the area, Arlene's holds fast to its intention of nurturing unsigned bands; its attention to the highest quality sound; and remaining an institution in the NYC rock scene.
