Sign in to disble this ad
I don't know if that's the correct way to title this thread. But I am looking to make my band more different and unique. I have one of the best light shows in the area and we are an all female band. However, I want to do something else to make us stand out. But I have no idea where to go with this. Got any ideas for me? |

I mean, if youre a punk band I would think of a whole different set of ideas than if youre a Jimmy Buffett cover band... (i sure as hell hope youre NOT the latter)

9/10 bands I see suck. I hate to say it, but it's true. Just sloppy in general.
I see a lot of bands from all over the country as well, it's just depressing at times.
