Depends on the band, obviously... with the main, is approx. 2 gigs per month, with an average 700 people (being 200 the least and 1200 the max.), with the other ones, it varies, but not quite as much as with the main one.

we've played to between 15 to 200+, bar gigs. The worst was a bar gig the night before thanksgivng, we were so pumped thinking of the killer crowd, turns out DUI check point a couple blocks away....15 people maybe, all ours! Bar owner was cool though,he provided soundmen + PA and actually apologized so we cut our price a bit to help him out. It was fun tho...we let anyone sing who would get up on stage!

The most we'd played to was about 750 on a new years show. Depending on the venue, say The fine line we'd average 400. The Uptown bar 150, but it is a smaller bar. Usually play two shows a month in town and then two a month out of town.
