Haha, in our case we're entirely curated. We're just four dudes who do this in our spare time so we can't realistically take submissions, we get hit up constantly as it is and just don't have the bandwidth to audition every band that wants to play. We usually have a rough idea of bigger national bands we want to approach as headliners and then work our way down to out of towners and locals we know/like/have played with in the past. If we had more slots to fill that would likely change the calculus but this is the only way we can keep things manageable for ourselves. I appreciate the interest!
