Q: Does my band really have to be from Rhode Island?

A. Ok. we're a Rhode Island focused organization, and the Jukebox does not have the infinite space to accommodate bands from all over. But, you know, maybe your band is from southern Mass, and your singer's boyfriend lives here, and you play here all the time... You're on the honor system.

Q: My band is a big deal, and is signed to a fancy-pants label with sweet distro. We are, therefore, a BMI/ASCAP band. Can we still be included in the Jukebox, or play at AS220 for that matter?

A: Hell yes. As long as you give us permission to play your music outside of the predatory sphere of license-sharks, we can cut the BS and pay you direct. High Five!

Q: What if my band breaks up and checks get sent to our estranged guitar player with whom I am embroiled in a deep personal vendetta?

A: Not AS220's problem, though we suggest you do your best to figure it out like adults. Maybe talk out a pre-nup before designating your band representative.

Q: What if I only have 75 plays come November, and my check would be just under the $15 minimum?

A: Sorry. You'll have to wait until next year, or sweet talk your friends into playing your songs as much as possible in late October. It'll be like playing a whole Tom Petty record on repeat at the Hot Club, but with a spunky DIY flavor.

Q: What if I have you make out a check to my band, but then we never open an account in the band's name and I'm scared to try to talk the bank teller into accepting a check made out to "Master of Pussy"?

A: Dude. Seriously? This is why we asked you to pick a point person.
