CONTEST: Write the HHLF Rider!
Create a Show Rider for High Heels Lo Fi Contest!
You may have heard tell of the legendary show rider--that part in the band’s contract to do a show where they add whatever it is they need to feel at one with their best, most creative selves. Some bands request the basics, like pop and sandwiches; Van Halen used to request “M&Ms (WARNING: ABSOLUTELY NO BROWN ONES)”; Mariah Carey demanded twenty white kittens and one hundred doves *cough* twat *cough*, Hollerado asks for a dog for them to walk after the gig, and they promised to do their own stoop and scooping *cough* walk my dog, please *cough*. The band show rider is famous for a reason: musicians are certifiably insane.
So, here’s your chance to show how crazy you think we are: If you were HHLF’s manager, on the eve of HHLF’s First Final Massive Huge World Tour Of The Universe, what would you put in our show rider?
Entries will be judged on realism, surreality, creativity, insanity, and whatever appeals to our twisted sense of humour.
And what do you get for your managerial efforts for our imaginary comfort? Actual prizes!
The super awesome of top prize is guestlist for the winner and plus-one to the High Heels Lo Fi We Play With Boobies show on Friday April 25th, 2014 at Cherry Cola’s ~and also~ VIP seating at the show for the winner! Trust us--it’ll be a snazzy seat.
Sorta less awesome, but still pretty nifty not-top prizes are odd and assorted band paraphernalia to be determined when we clean out the hall closet at stately HHLF Manor.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Write up a rider for High Heels Lo Fi. (Google some examples--start with “fluffy pink pubic hair”.)
2) Post it as a note on Facebook, and tag our page https://www.facebook.com/pages/High-Heels-Lo-Fi/34056384864 (If you do not use Facebook, post it on your blog and then let us know on Twitter, or something.)
3) Email highheelslofi@gmail.com with a link to the rider, and your full name and email address. This is the MUST DO part--your entry won’t be valid without your email. Don’t just assume we’ll find it; we can’t find our way out of an LCBO bag.
4) Tell all of your friends how High Heels Lo Fi is the most amazingly fun band in the universe.
5) Post your entry and email us by noon on April 16th, 2014. Winner will be announced April 22nd.
Here are the rules. Of course our contest has rules; we’re rebels, not anarchists:
1) One entry per person. Although if you think of something hilarious after you post your rider, go ahead, add it to the original. We won’t judge you. At least not till after the 16th.
2) The winner must be able to get themselves to the High Heels Lo Fi performance on Friday April 25th at Cherry Cola’s, 200 Bathurst Street. Transportation to and from the show is YOUR business-we can’t fit you in the band smartcar. If you get ebola or whatever, let us know and we’ll transfer your prize to your friend or something.
3) Winners will be chosen by High Heels Lo Fi based on any damn criteria we make up. We are liable for nothing, responsible for nothing, and, well… pretty much good for nothing.
4) Band members are not allowed to enter. (Doug, you already have a chair.)
Also 4) A reasonable hand-drawn facsimile of the drummer will get you bonus points.
5) Is the magic number.
6) Pants optional.
7) Except that pants are mandatory for drummers.

Facebook is NOT working.
Here's the deal folks - Facebook is great, but broken. If we post about an upcoming show, although 905 people have liked our page, it will only be shown to perhaps 45 people. Then, if those people all click "Like" or comment on it, it will be shown to more people... maybe 400. The only way around this is to pay money to "promote" each post. I'm sure it won't shock you to know we don't have mad cash lying around to play silly buggers with Facebook's weird issues.
There are two things you can do to be properly notified about upcoming shows. Go to the main High Heels Lo Fi Facebook Page. Then,
Under the "Liked" button, select Get Notifications and Show in News Feed.
That helps a lot, but the better way to be 100% sure you hear about shows is to get on our email list. We only send email when we have a show, or something super important is happening. Please go to www.HighHeelsLoFi.com and scroll to the very bottom. See "Enter your email to join our monthly(-ish) mailing list" and go for it. I can't remember if you have to reply to a confirmation email - if you get a mailing list email thingy shortly afterward, follow the directions.
THANK YOU for staying connected! We are writing new songs, working on a new EP, and planning shows across southern Ontario this spring & summer. The more you spread the word of this wacky project, the farther we can go. (We also have some contests & weird videos planned, but that's currently Top Secret.)
If you need to shake your ass and jump around on Thursday January 30th... what do I mean "IF"? Of COURSE YOU DO! It's good for you to be a rebel and go out with your friends on a school night. See you at Cherry Cola's! Queen & Bathurst, $5, doors at 10 we're on around 11.
