In a band? Want a gig? Now's your chance to play at Subside, Birmingham's rock & alternative bar! Subside will be holding gigs for local bands and are looking for bands of any type that falls into the rock & alternative genres to play. You must have your own backline equipment (drums, amps, cabs!) and/or be willing to kit share with another band due to lack of stage space but it's your chance to play at the fast becoming legendary Subside and propel you on the road to superstardom…..! Well maybe anyway… So, if you want to play with your band at Subside then drop us an e-mail to SubsideBar@aol.com with 'My Band Wants To Play Subside' in the subject line, enclose your name, band name, type of music (so we can match you up with someone suitable) and very importantly a contact telephone number and we'll then arrange a date for you to come play at the bar. Alternatively, speak to JP (Manager) or Jim (Assistant Manager) in person on your next visit to Subside. Come on then! Show us what you've got! Check the Facebook page for upcoming shows and details of who is playing at Subside this week then come along and check the bands out!
If there are no bands playing, Subside will be closed on Sundays & Mondays to allow our staff and customers to recuperate from what is always a hectic Saturday night party!
