Have fun playing in a Random Band.
Guests and former members welcome!

Like Random Jam, this gives members, former members and guests who have come along to a Random Jam, the chance to play with new people or try out a second instrument in a random band.
But Random Bands takes it a step further with a chance for the random band to play at a one-off gig in the Gov Front Bar.
Each random band will be invited to showcase approximately 30+ mins of material to the energetic crowd that frequents Random Bands and SA Live Music Club gigs.
PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS BELOW BEFORE REGISTERING

Note #1: Random Bands is brought to you by the SA Live Music Club. It is intended to keep members and former members engaged with the Club and give guests a taste of Club activities through participation in a fun event. It should not be confused with the much larger national Weekend Warriors Program, a completely separate undertaking that provides a full contemporary band experience with a dedicated, professional coach and a big production final concert. We encourage people to check out the national Weekend Warriors Program not only as a fabulous experience in itself, but also as a great way to get back into playing live music. For information about the national Weekend Warriors Program, please click here to visit their website.
“Weekend Warriors” is a Trademark of Recreational Music Making Pty Ltd. The Weekend Warriors Program is managed and delivered in South Australia through Holden Hill Music, not the SA Live Music Club.
Note #2: Please take all these factors into consideration when registering.
By registering for Random Bands, you agree that:
- The registration fee is non-refundable unless written notice is given at least 7 days prior to the scheduled meeting of band registrants (the band meeting).
- Once the band meeting is over and bands commit to their rehearsal times and spaces, each band member will be responsible for their share of the total amount of rehearsal room hire as agreed between the band members.
- SA Live Music Club Inc (SALMC) who sponsor Random Bands, does not in any way make rehearsal room bookings, receive or refund rehearsal room payments on behalf of band members.
- Should a band member withdraw, post rehearsal room commitment, their portion of room hire would not be refundable as vendors base the cost on rooms booked not people attending.
- Should unforeseen circumstances arise that are beyond a member’s control, forcing a participant to withdraw, the member should reach out to the rest of their band for their consideration of assistance but the band will not be compelled to action a refund. SALMC shall not be responsible for any refund of rehearsal room hire fees.
