Actually, I retract this statement. All the chicks were the awesome.
It would be fun to hear some jams in though. Since it is outside it might also draw a larger crowd overall.
Bling is good fun. Cosy, intimate and bizarre. Most of all its entertaining.
Albani in WInterthur is a good music club, and they have one every first Thursday of month.
Someone told me that the Memphis Cafe on Langstrasse has them too. No idea when though. I think I went in there a few weeks ago, but I can't be sure . They were playing some cool blues...watch this space, I will check it out.

There is an "open stage" at Kulturmarkt in Wiedikon Zurich, but they have taken their summer pause, and so have I.
I am actually trying to get the city to fund my open mic. Open mics dont have the same function like they do in america(bringing people out on odd unbusy nights) and most places are not interested because they know it is a losing situation financially.
There is an open mic in Oerlikon as well. You should check out www.myspace.com/msbrandysopenmic . On my friends list i have links to a bunch of other open mics in the german speaking swiss area.
If you still havent been to my open mic, you can go to youtube and type in ms brandy's open mic and you'll be able to see a few faces of people(besides me) that pop up at my open mics.....

I have just read your messages re. finding a venue for Open Mic sessions in Zürich. Well, it just so happens that I am looking for musicians, as I am interested in starting an Open Mic evening at a pub in Zürich which I am the manager of. The pub is an Irish pub called The Pub, which is situated at Selnaustrasse 6, 8001 Zürich. If you are interested please let me know, I would love to hear from you so we can get something started asap.

As an amateur singer/songwriter, I would be very interested in an open mic evening
Thank you for letting me know that you would be interested in my open mic sessions at The Pub. I would love to cover all genres of music, which one are you into? Do you have any friends or know of anyone who might also be interested in joining us in the open mic evenings?
Henriette
It's great to hear that you are interested in taking part! I'm thinking about thursday or friday evenings. Would you be able to find out how many of your friends might be interested in coming along too?
I'm a singer with a guitar and I'm probably in the folk domain.
I could ask around, but I unfortunately don't know all too many other musicians.

i think my girl would be interested in playing. she does some nights in basel which anyone interested can sign up for at kaserne.
Officially keeping tabs...
Hi, Henriette. I am very interested too. I'm a singer and I mostly do cover songs (pop,light jazz, country, R&B, etc...)
just arrived in Zurich and I am now looking for some OpenMic venues here. I would be interested in such an event. I enjoy listening to other stuff and hanging out with people as well as participating (mostly singer songwriter stuff).
So please let me know what the current status is.
KevNic, I would be interested in jamming (on a pure acoustic level). Will send you a pm.
Best,
David
P.S.: btw. I am not a native english speaker, hope thats not a problem
