One
The stage
The night itself: the agreement that came before it, and where things stand once the lights come up again.
Mic Cheque
the operating system of the act
Control over every show,
certainty over every euro.
The operating system of the act. For everyone who plays, creates and travels, and for everyone who has made that their work.
Smart, fast and efficient
The lights go out, the room empties,
and then the other work begins.
An act is a small business on the road every night. We build the tools that go with it, so the sums do not sit around until nobody remembers them.
Two
The work
What you make stays yours. It carries your name, even when it surfaces somewhere else years later.
Three
The money
What was agreed and what actually comes in. Not roughly, but down to the euro.
What it does
Six things, done well
Enough to hold the night and the money behind it together. The rest we leave to others.
Shows and bookings
The diary of the act, with the agreement that belongs to each night.
Settling after the show
The agreement alongside what actually came in.
Sharing it out
Everyone taking part sees their own share, and signs off on it themselves.
Rights and royalties
What your recordings and your work bring in, worked out rather than assumed.
On the road
What a touring day needs, from the venue to the journey home.
In your pocket
Everything to hand, including in places where the signal gives up.
Who it is for
Nobody does this alone
More people stand around one night than fit on the stage. They all deal with the same agreements, and rarely with the same paperwork.
The artist
You play. The rest should follow you, not the other way around.
The band
More people, the same night, each with an agreement of their own.
The crew
Whoever drives, builds and runs the night belongs in the picture.
The office
Management, bookers and administration carrying several acts.
From a promoter’s first enquiry to the last euro that comes in.
Where we stand
Four things we do not do
No second truth
One account for everyone taking part. Whoever looks, sees what the others see.
Nothing in silence
What changes, changes visibly. Afterwards it is always possible to read back what happened.
No hostages
Your data is yours. We do not build a door that only opens from the inside.
No noise
We build what an act needs in a basement on a Tuesday night. Nothing more.
For everyone who plays, creates and travels.
Mic Cheque works by invitation, through the act. Already working with us? This is the way in.
