THE RULES

The acoustic open mic is open to solo or duo (1 vocalist, 1 instrument) performers only. All acts need to have a minimum of TWO songs. Covers are allowed BUT ORIGINALS ARE VERY MUCH PREFERRED. Also, no singing along to minus-ones / instrumental tracks.
 

We provide 1 DI and 1 vocal mic only. Bring your own instrument cables, keyboard stands and additional bookstands etc. if necessary, but NO AMPS, please. All instruments go through our DI boxes.
 

Be at the venue NO LATER THAN 8pm. If you arrive at 8.01pm, we reserve the right to not allow you on stage. Please register at the bar the moment you arrive. 

Your slot is 15 minutes or 3 songs max, INCLUDING SET-UP AND TEAR DOWN. 

Walk-in open mic-ers are welcome but we cannot guarantee you a slot if all slots are taken up on the night. There is a total of SIX slots per night.

GUITARISTS,
Make sure your guitar has a pickup. We will not mic up your guitar. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CABLES.

BEATBOXERS,
Bring your own microphone or you won’t be allowed to perform.

EVERYBODY,
If you have to cancel your slot, do let us know at least 7 days in advance by writing to merdekarya@gmail.com. Otherwise we'll have to add you to our list of banned open micers.

Please send this note to ALL your band members so everyone knows what’s what.
