It pulls together to help out bands more than any other city I've ever lived in (Seattle, Portlan, LA) and it has a dedicated venue for pretty much any kind of musical fancy you might subscribe to whether it be Industrial, Goth, Punk, Psychobilly, Death Metal or whatever. I can completely understand about depressing it is right now to try and invest so much time and money into something you love (music) only to see the greedy a$$holes in corporate America not really care about the artist and only the return of investment to them. However, there is something to be said for trying. Here in Austin, we have provided floor space for countless bands that have come through as well as countless rides, free food, beverages, promotional materials. With all that being said, I'm positive that I could definitely get enough assistance here in the city to help your experience be one with minimal negative marks as I've done it before for other bands. Below is the contact info for the venue I work/DJ at and I'm sure that TX in general would be VERY receptive to VAC playing there. Elysium has hosted some of the best shows around (even exclusive ones) and has been a fixture for bands looking to tour through TX.

They do not promote shows. The club is nasty, has crummy parking, and a crummy staff. Sorry to the person that recommended GZ, but face it, VAC will NOT draw a large enough crowd there even with better promotion than GZ normally puts out there. I would contact the Orange Peel in Ashville, NC, listed above by another user, as it is a great venue. Again, I'm not sure you could draw enough to pack it out, but it is a college town. You should have no problems with either the Tabernacle or the Masquerade in Atlanta, GA. Those venues are well established and somewhat cater to bands in your genre.

The Starlight Ballroom, First Unitarian Church, and Club Shampoo in Philly are also very good and draw large crowds in general, Shampoo a large goth/industrial/EBM/etc. scene in particular. I saw Voltaire on Halloween at a sold out show.

I can get a return trip to NYC for less than most places in Europe. Eh.. cost of travel overseas is cheaper now than it has ever been before.

Down here in Florida we have a few great venues. There is a club in Ybor City called the Castle which caters to goth/ industrial subcultures. Jannus Landing in Saint Pete has hosted Combichrist and KMFDM is coming on Halloween (damn good day to go to an aggrotech/ electro industrial concert if you ask me!). Club Firestone in Orlando has hosted Misfits, Combichrist, and even a few black metal acts like Mayhem. If Mayhem can play a successful show there, I'm sure you guys will do great! Hope this helped, and I would love to see VAC in Florida. First of all, I have a lot of respect for Velvet Acid Christ, but that’s probably not what you really need to hear right now!
