If there is already a list like this, I apologize but I couldn't find it.

Anyway! One thing I'd REALLY love to know is who/where are the people/places to count on and talk to when trying to set up shows or even a tour! If you promote chip shows or know of a venue that enjoys having them, post it below!!

As for myself, I throw quite a few shindigs in Lexington, Ky.
My frequently used venues are:

Al's Bar
Cosmic Charlie's
The B4$$ment

I know the Cincinatti crew (AndaruGO, SPRY) often throw shows at the bar "Rake's End", so that'd be a good lead, too!

Post your leads and maybe we can set up a nice tour circuit!!

Places that I have set up shows and have had shows play at:

Soda Bar
Tin Can Alehouse
Bar 11
Ruby Room (for Nerdcore Nights)

Tokyo, Japan

Sounds like a worthwhile google spreadsheet! Make it international and publicly editable with a minmum requirement of 3 shows organised or something. Then

or something.

Another good thing to add might be if the venue is all ages or not. I'd love to play the place posted above me but it's 21+

They have chip gigs here? I didn't know about this place when I lived there, but it seems cool! I played a show at the Velour about a year ago, but I wouldn't consider them as having regular chip shows.

You only have to be 18 to perform in a bar in Idaho :-) But yes, we're 21+

2013 was a reboot to the Texas chip scene. It's been on and off active for the past few years, but we're getting our network together and making it last long term this time. We'd love to get some traveling artists through TX, and are going to get a show together for SXSW in March 2014.

Yes.  We have all kinds of gigs over at Black Pyramid.  I think I played with you at that velour show last august.
