[Booking with Alexandre Lemieux]

I do listen to CDs that come to me but since I don’t promote the shows that much, I try to keep it sound; of course I would not book, necessarily, a very pop act…a la Brittany Spears or whatever. I try to listen to most of it to keep certain quality standards because I like people to come here and say, “There are always good bands playing here.” So, I do listen to the MySpace page because people now think it’s easier anyway than to pile up CDs. It is a good sample of three and four songs on their page. So, I do a lot of that and then people come at me. I propose them; I don’t ever propose them to promote their shows. If they’re a band from outside, from outside of the city, they come ask me, “It would probably be better to find a promoter or another local band that wants to play with you and you can do your show DIY and make it happen that way.
