GUEST HOSTS FOR THE KENEALLY-BENDIAN-LUNN TOUR

Response to the Guest Host program for the upcoming Keneally-Bendian-Lunn tour (dates and Guest Hosts here) has been swift and extremely rewarding. Thank you to all first responders very kindly! Thou art heroic. We have Guest Hosts anointed for the majority of the gigs, but we still seek out a few hearty souls to assist us for shows in PHILADELPHIA, DUNELLEN NJ and SCOTTSVILLE KY.

Guest Hosts can help us by increasing local awareness of our gig, printing and putting up posters (we supply the artwork), arranging any local media that is within their reach, and helping with online tubthumping. The GH and a pal will meet us at the Keneally-Bendian-Lunn Tourvenue, help with load-in if they’re capable, get tickets to the gig of course, hang out with us before and after the show, introduce us onstage if they wish to (no one is forced to), and at some point I will hand him/her a CD-R containing rough mixes from Scambot 2, currently in progress and estimated to be approximately 63% complete.

If you’d like to be one of the few, the proud, the Guest Hosts for the last remaining gigs, please write to Blair at guesthost@keneally.com. Read more

Superb response to Guest Host program; cheerfully seeking 5 more

Many thanks to all who’ve stepped up to be ordained as Guest Hosts for the upcoming Keneally-Bendian-Lunn tour! It is heartwarming, validating and leaves one vaguely with the smell of fresh ginger.

We’ve got GHs for 9 of the 14 gigs. We still seek Guest Hosts for the shows in Columbus, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Dunellen NJ and Scottsville KY.

Mike Keneally Guest Host ProgramHither!

For the Keneally-Bendian-Lunn May Tour (see dates and cities below), we’re bringing back an old custom that we used to do a lot in the ’90s and early ’00s – the Guest Host program.

Wanna be a Guest Host? It’s a fun way for (potentially) you and (definitely) I to connect, and for us to get some VERY needed and welcome assistance on the road.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic someone in each city of the tour to help us get people to the show, by distributing posters to record and music stores (if you still have such things in your region) and any other appropriate locations, spreading the word amongst your friends, contacting any local media you can gain access to, helping us with social media etc.

You’d meet us at the venue (bring a buddy and if you’re able to help with loading in our stuff, we appreciate it), hang with us, watch soundcheck and all the attendant rigamarole. You and your pal will get tickets to the show of course. You can introduce us at the beginning of the show, if you like.

And I’ll hand you a CD-R with a few mixes in progress from the upcoming Scambot 2 album. Only up to 14 of these CD-Rs will be handed out, one per city. You and I will pinky swear that you’ll keep the music private. If your pals want to hear, they can come over to your house and listen. In this way we will bring back the communal aspects of music listening in a way not seen since it was last seen.
