Taping Policy

[revised 2007-08-11]

Kris Orlowski allows audio taping at almost every live performance.

Each show is unique and the bands want to offer their fans the opportunity to recreate the live experience through the audio reproduction of our shows.

At all taping authorized performances, tapers can tape from any location in the venue. When Kris Orlowski is not headlining a show we always defer to the taping policy of the headliner or the festival. On occasion, soundboard and/or power feeds can be provided, granted there are slots.

In addition to helping fans recreate the live experience, there is hope that trading will foster greater interaction within the fan community. Any method of trading that does not involve personal fan interaction defeats the spirit of this goal of the taping policy and is not authorized. In the new age of technology, the band recognizes that "fan interaction" exists within the internet community. Trading of shows online is encouraged.

Recorded shows are not allowed to be compressed to lossy formats such as .mp3 for trading purposes. SHN & FLAC are encouraged.

Taping is encouraged for audio, using only microphones, but soundboards can and will be given during shows, slots allowing. Please, no wireless receivers. We sincerely appreciate all of our fans, so we ask that you please be considerate of those around you by not obstructing anyone else's view of the performance.

Video Taping and Still Photography are welcome.

All recordings must be used for personal use or trading only. Selling or commercializing any recording is illegal. Please read our Bootleg Statement for more information.
 

Taper Privileges:

Tapers do not pay cover or ticket charge to tape Kris Orlowski.

If Kris Orlowski is headlining a show, tapers will not be expected to pay cover/ticket charge to tape.

If you would like to avoid a cover/ticket charge, please email theband @ krisorlowski.com.

Please Note: You will have to set this up with management before the day of show or we cannot guarantee you will get in for free.
