Just had a terrible gig. My band played in a bar in Boston. It was awful...Bad sound guy. Bad venue....bad bands...bad vibes...15 audience members. Feel bad for me...feel bad for yourselves...just feel bad.(actually, all in all it was a pretty good learning experience, so not all is lost). |

Aren't you around a ton of college kids in Dekalb? I would think it would be party time down there. |

It's an indie/dance band market out here no place for post-math-rock or Doom. |

Sorry it sucked but regarding the 15 people, you're supposed to bring in fans, you know.
