Can fans and music be co-# 1's? It's the music that brings your band together in the first place and makes you comitted enough to play out/write songs/whatever. But without fans, you won't be playing out very much, at least not without being completely frustrated. I'd add that playing the right venu...

Depends on the song...Musically I think about what part is coming up, and where I'm at in the song. I keep an eye on our drummer for cues, see how the crowd is reacting, try to move around. Think about how this set is flowing (song order, etc.). Some parts are easier than others, so I can relax a bi...

A magical night. For those of you who missed it, or if you want to take a short walk down memory lane, Joel Faurote took some amazing photos. Check them out at http://www.joelfaurote.com


They are under the "recently added" section divided up by bands.

In no particular order:

D Gary
Superhunk
LLC
Orange Opera
Streetlamps for Spotlights
Between the Rooms
Kan-tis
B-Sharps
Key of Skeleton

Orange Opera and LLC are elevating the game locally, IMHO.

If so, awesome.

I don't think bands or bars realize the benefits of having a promoter, because I don't think there are enough people who have done it well around here. I'm not talking about you, BTW Ando.

In trying to deal with new bars in recent months I've come to a conclusion that many people may not understand the role of a promoter.
In a word, I'd say no.

Even if they didn't THAT night. They normally do, so they got the time slot they wanted and they got paid more. period.

What about thinking outside the box for promotions? I've had lengthy discussions with some people about running TV spots on Comcast. DIRT CHEAP. All is not what it seems until you see an air schedule and a potential bill in front of you. Actually, I've seen an air schedule and a bill, and they were...

What about thinking outside the box for promotions? I've had lengthy discussions with some people about running TV spots on Comcast. DIRT CHEAP. Another factor is the bar you are playing. We have a hard time drawing at certain bars no matter how hard we promote because our crowd just won't go to the...

We look at each situation individually. We don't always play for free, and we don't always take the best paying gig. There are also other ways of making a buck off of original music. We're self sufficient as a band: that is, we make enough money buy picks, sticks, strings, replace broken gear, and e...

and that attitude is why those of us who are trying to be professionals and make at least part of our living at this can't get bars to pony up more than $3-400 for a full band of professional musicians playing great music well for 4 hours. Nobody expects the bartenders and/or waitresses to work for...

It's not like it's gonna play itself. If it were to go haywire in the middle of a tune, that would suck. given recent Gibson qc issues... never mind. Sorry, but I strongly disagree. I'd take a Gibson over about any other guitar out there right now. There QC is much better now than it was in the Nor...
