PROMOTIONAL BENEFITS

Bars and clubs are listed on our website.
The website is continually updated with news, photos, and calendar of events, including interactive maps locating the venues listed.

In addition, the website offers links to other promotional websites, including Band Mix and Times Union-sponsored Albany2go. Albany2go is an area entertainment website which includes an extensive listing of participating restaurants, bars and clubs with photos, restaurant reviews, and upcoming events calendars. Albany2go is one of the most comprehensive listings of local venues and bands in the Capital District, and is published in the Times Union every Thursday as part of their Preview Guide weekly insert.

During the past seven years or so, Side Effects has amassed a steady following. Prior to every event, Side Effects sends out an email newsletter to their band faithful, with venue location, date and time, along with any promotional materials furnished by the venue, including menus and specials.

Having over fifty years of collective experience, members of the band understand the importance of participating with the venue promoters to encourage patronage.
