hmmm.... in the real world, the band will have a booking agent. the booking agent contacts promoters and promoters contact booking agents. the band wouldnt really hand pick the cities they wanna play.
so the best way for you to get sonic youth to play in your city is to get up and g harrass local promoters to put sy on.
if the promoters think that the band will go down well n the city or town and that they will sell enough tickets then im sure they will put the band on. or if promoters want none of it then you could always get a few mates together and put the work in and book em yourself. if youre that sure that sonic youth will make enough money in your city to cover the costs and pay them their fee then you are laughing. you just need to DO IT YOURSELF!
admitidly, sonic youth are a big band, so its a not the easiest task, its for sure a fuck load harder than whining about it here.
but theres always the same thread when some smaller band is touring, like the bands that tour and play to less than 500 people. always people moaining "pleaseeeee come and playyyy hereeeee"
just put your energy into asking a band to come to your town, hiring a venue, giving them your sofa to sleep on, making some posters and it all goes like that. cuz i think its safe to say that bands dont come to this board to see where they should play on their next european tour. but bands do rely on people with a passion for music and a little spare time to put in some work and help them play their music in foriegn countries
