With that in mind, we operate all our programs on a sliding scale basis. We ask our users to pay as much as they can, following these guidelines: The high end of the sliding scale is for people who are fully employed, whose companies are paying for their co-working time, and/or who have other income and resources. The middle of the sliding scale is for people who work part-time, who pay for their co-working on their own from their earnings, and/or who are of moderate means. The low end of the sliding scale is for artists, students, senior citizens and others who have no regular income stream and/or who are of only very limited means.     EAST BAY COMMUNITY SPACE ©2026 Powered by WordPress and ❤️ !

Come play or come watch: either way, it’ll be the best night of your week. It’s July, so wear the beachiest, most sun-drenched vacation attire you’ve got! (1) The first rule of Instant Band Night is: YOU DON’T HAVE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT TO ATTEND (2) The second rule of Instant Band Night is: We guarantee you (the audience) an astonishingly excellent time. (3) The third rule of Instant Band Night is: Bring a friend or three! In case you’ve never been to Instant Band Night, here’s the deal: 1. The stage has a drum kit, guitar, bass, keyboard, and mics. 2. We draw names out of hats to make instant bands that get 5 minutes in the green room to plan a 5-minute set (one song).* 3. A hat-drawn artist will also take the stage alongside each band to draw their gig poster on a meeting room easel pad. * If you’ve brought a friend (or friends) you want to play with and you’ve already worked something out or you make some friends at the event and you know you want to play together, just come to the front desk and let us know! HOWEVER! No show is complete without an audience: if you don’t play an instrument or sing, COME ANYWAY and just watch; you’ve never seen anything like it. Creativity!! Courage!! Music!! $10/person BYOB MASKS WILL BE ENFORCED If you feel like you’ve got a cold, stay home; it’s 2025 and we all know what to do by now!!!! Leave your guitar at home! We have all the stuff you need! (see FAQ for details) * * * w e ‘ l l * s e e * y o u * t h e r e * * * F.A.Q. Q: Do I need to be a musician to show up? A: No. Absolutely not. Hell no. Come see the show and have a good time; you don’t have to get onstage. Q: I’m a musician; am I guaranteed a slot in a band? A: We literally draw names written on slips of paper out of coffee cans, so there’s a chance you may not be called; in a purely mathematical sense, it’s a function of how many musicians of each type show up that night (there are five musician cans (DRUMS, GUITAR, BASS, VOX, MISC) and one can for artists who’ll be picked to draw the bands’ gig posters, plus a special form for people who showed up with at least one friend and already have something in mind (or bands who spontaneously form at the show, which happens sometimes). We say: surrender to the spirit of random chance, or maybe slip the MC a bribe of some sort. Q: Do I have to be an amazing musician to throw my name in a can? A: Probably not. Your band’s only gonna be onstage for 5 minutes, anyway; how bad can you possibly be? Q: I play an instrument other than what’ll be onstage, like the sax or trumpet. Can I bring it? A: Hhhheeeeeelll yyyeeeessssss you can bring it. PLEASE DO. We had a guy bring a bassoon once, and he rocked the living shit out of it — and, by extension, us. Woodwinds and brass, which tend not to need extra amplification for a space of this size beyond being pointed vaguely at a mic, are most welcome. If your instrument requires an amp, that’s cool, but you should get in touch with Jon about showing up early for setup. NOTE TO GUITARISTS: Leave your axe at home, friend! We’ve got at least two of them onstage already. Yes, yours is better than ours, but look: you’re only gonna be up there for five minutes at a time: how much difference does it really make? We have no doubt you’ve got the skills to make anything with six strings and a pickup sound good!! Q: Do I have to pick my cover tunes beforehand? A: Listen. You and your band (who you’ve JUST MET) have 5 minutes onstage to do whatever the hell you can think of in the 5 minutes prior to walking up there. You wanna try to pick a cover everyone can agree on? Great. You wanna try writing something new? Fantastic; it can definitely be done. You wanna pick a key and tell each other to just fuckin’ wing it up there? You are a RAGING PSYCHOPATH and we love it. We’ll see you in 5; get in the green room!!!! Q: I showed up with a friend (or two or three or four) and/or I made a friend while attending and we want to be put together in a band. Can that happen? A: We made a whole special form for your situation! Ask at the front desk and we’ll give you the paper you need! Q: Specifically what does the stage setup consist of? A: So glad you asked; we have: A full drumkit Electric bass 2 electric guitars + amps with clean/distortion channels of varying intensity 1 acoustic-electric guitar (Chet Atkins SST-style solid body with piezo pickup that a certain vintage of 90s-era music fan should have little trouble recognizing) Keyboard 2 vocal mics 1 electric violin A few DIs for anything miscellaneous you might want to bring that’s got a 1/4″ output (a cello with a pickup, a synth, etc) PA + onstage monitors Almost supernaturally competent and highly skilled sound tech/engineer We mean it when we say “leave your guitar at home” folks!! Q: What does BYOB stand for? A: We don’t sell drinks at Instant Band Night, so you gotta bring your own. Get a cheap sixpack of something. Maybe a bottle and some cups. We’re not here to godmod how you get down. Q: Does this mean it’s 21+? A: That it does. Q: Is this in the East Bay? A: It is. Do not be alarmed: it’s within walking distance of MacArthur BART, and as a bonus, you get to tour the delightful, scenic Temescal district on your way over. Or you could just take a Lyft from SF (or the BART station if you fancy). Got a car? Drive on over; parking around the East Bay Community Space is pretty simple. You can do this. We believe in you. Q: I can’t make it, and I feel a little bad about it. Am I good? A: The only cure is to think of a few friends of yours who live in the Bay and enjoy fun, then invite them to this. Q: You got any other rules? A: For some reason, we went through an era where almost every Instant Band Night saw a group do a rendition of “Creep” by Radiohead, so this song is now outlawed until at least Instant Band Night 40.

Come play or come watch: either way, it’ll be the best night of your week. It’s July, so wear the beachiest, most sun-drenched vacation attire you’ve got! (1) The first rule of Instant Band Night is: YOU DON’T HAVE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT TO ATTEND (2) The second rule of Instant Band Night is: We guarantee you (the audience) an astonishingly excellent time. (3) The third rule of Instant Band Night is: Bring a friend or three! In case you’ve never been to Instant Band Night, here’s the deal: 1. The stage has a drum kit, guitar, bass, keyboard, and mics. 2. We draw names out of hats to make instant bands that get 5 minutes in the green room to plan a 5-minute set (one song).* 3. A hat-drawn artist will also take the stage alongside each band to draw their gig poster on a meeting room easel pad. * If you’ve brought a friend (or friends) you want to play with and you’ve already worked something out or you make some friends at the event and you know you want to play together, just come to the front desk and let us know! HOWEVER! No show is complete without an audience: if you don’t play an instrument or sing, COME ANYWAY and just watch; you’ve never seen anything like it. Creativity!! Courage!! Music!! $10/person BYOB MASKS WILL BE ENFORCED If you feel like you’ve got a cold, stay home; it’s 2025 and we all know what to do by now!!!! Leave your guitar at home! We have all the stuff you need! (see FAQ for details) * * * w e ‘ l l * s e e * y o u * t h e r e * * * F.A.Q. Q: Do I need to be a musician to show up? A: No. Absolutely not. Hell no. Come see the show and have a good time; you don’t have to get onstage. Q: I’m a musician; am I guaranteed a slot in a band? A: We literally draw names written on slips of paper out of coffee cans, so there’s a chance you may not be called; in a purely mathematical sense, it’s a function of how many musicians of each type show up that night (there are five musician cans (DRUMS, GUITAR, BASS, VOX, MISC) and one can for artists who’ll be picked to draw the bands’ gig posters, plus a special form for people who showed up with at least one friend and already have something in mind (or bands who spontaneously form at the show, which happens sometimes). We say: surrender to the spirit of random chance, or maybe slip the MC a bribe of some sort. Q: Do I have to be an amazing musician to throw my name in a can? A: Probably not. Your band’s only gonna be onstage for 5 minutes, anyway; how bad can you possibly be? Q: I play an instrument other than what’ll be onstage, like the sax or trumpet. Can I bring it? A: Hhhheeeeeelll yyyeeeessssss you can bring it. PLEASE DO. We had a guy bring a bassoon once, and he rocked the living shit out of it — and, by extension, us. Woodwinds and brass, which tend not to need extra amplification for a space of this size beyond being pointed vaguely at a mic, are most welcome. If your instrument requires an amp, that’s cool, but you should get in touch with Jon about showing up early for setup. NOTE TO GUITARISTS: Leave your axe at home, friend! We’ve got at least two of them onstage already. Yes, yours is better than ours, but look: you’re only gonna be up there for five minutes at a time: how much difference does it really make? We have no doubt you’ve got the skills to make anything with six strings and a pickup sound good!! Q: Do I have to pick my cover tunes beforehand? A: Listen. You and your band (who you’ve JUST MET) have 5 minutes onstage to do whatever the hell you can think of in the 5 minutes prior to walking up there. You wanna try to pick a cover everyone can agree on? Great. You wanna try writing something new? Fantastic; it can definitely be done. You wanna pick a key and tell each other to just fuckin’ wing it up there? You are a RAGING PSYCHOPATH and we love it. We’ll see you in 5; get in the green room!!!! Q: I showed up with a friend (or two or three or four) and/or I made a friend while attending and we want to be put together in a band. Can that happen? A: We made a whole special form for your situation! Ask at the front desk and we’ll give you the paper you need! Q: Specifically what does the stage setup consist of? A: So glad you asked; we have: A full drumkit Electric bass 2 electric guitars + amps with clean/distortion channels of varying intensity 1 acoustic-electric guitar (Chet Atkins SST-style solid body with piezo pickup that a certain vintage of 90s-era music fan should have little trouble recognizing) Keyboard 2 vocal mics 1 electric violin A few DIs for anything miscellaneous you might want to bring that’s got a 1/4″ output (a cello with a pickup, a synth, etc) PA + onstage monitors Almost supernaturally competent and highly skilled sound tech/engineer We mean it when we say “leave your guitar at home” folks!! Q: What does BYOB stand for? A: We don’t sell drinks at Instant Band Night, so you gotta bring your own. Get a cheap sixpack of something. Maybe a bottle and some cups. We’re not here to godmod how you get down. Q: Does this mean it’s 21+? A: That it does. Q: Is this in the East Bay? A: It is. Do not be alarmed: it’s within walking distance of MacArthur BART, and as a bonus, you get to tour the delightful, scenic Temescal district on your way over. Or you could just take a Lyft from SF (or the BART station if you fancy). Got a car? Drive on over; parking around the East Bay Community Space is pretty simple. You can do this. We believe in you. Q: I can’t make it, and I feel a little bad about it. Am I good? A: The only cure is to think of a few friends of yours who live in the Bay and enjoy fun, then invite them to this. Q: You got any other rules? A: For some reason, we went through an era where almost every Instant Band Night saw a group do a rendition of “Creep” by Radiohead, so this song is now outlawed until at least Instant Band Night 40.
