Alright guys and gals I need some advice. I'm starting an originals project with some buddies and it's coming along nicely but we're kind of at a loss for what to do next. We can't decide whether or not we should record an EP before we play our first show. I've seen a few band start very strong...

Okay so this year is my last year in High School and I'm going into the summer jobless (There are NO jobs for 18 year olds around where I live). I have college plans and everything for after the summer, but I desperately need money and was thinking about starting a cover band to play in this...

Ok so I have a gig tomorrow and at the last moment the guy who was supposed to be providing the PA just informed us we wouldn't have on stage moniters. I've never played a show without them so I don't know what to do. Any tricks/ways of arranging the stage so that we'll all hear each other? We...

Ok so I've been playing with this band where both guitarists are constantly boosting their lows and cutting their mids. And to me it sounds like garbage. There's no definition and it sounds like mess. The guys are really cool but they're not used to being in bands where as the rest of us are...

Ok so after almost a year of inactivity, my band has finally gotten itself together and we've got a bunch of shows lined up. The thing is, promoting has never been our strong suit and we would like to rebuild our following. We used to have a following of around 50 people but most of them...

Okay, so I was checking the band's email and noticed a bunch of mail that was addressed to us but seemed like it was meant for someone else. I went on myspace to do some research and noticed a band, I think in Australia, that not only had the same name as us, but the EXACT same email address (i...

Ok so i just got back from practice and I'm absolutely furious. My band has been together about 4 years and we've been gigging seriously for 2. In that time, I have done ALL of the work, I've scheduled all the practices, done all the promoting, did all the driving, and set up every show with...

So my band was just asked to play an acoustic set at a mall nearby and I was wondering what etiquette that entails. Do I bring a small amp and play? Does the whole group show? I've never done and acoustic show before so If you could share your experiences with them that would be great...

Okay so this pizza place around where I live is starting to incorporate live music into their restraunt and asked if we can come out on Saturdays and what not to play for them. We've never really done anything like this so I was wondering what a fair asking price is for a Saturday night. we'll...

So i was on the way home from worship team practice and i got a call from a few buddies who were skating at the skate park at steel lake. I went in to hang out with them for a bit, leaving my bass in the car(which i NEVER do but i was in a hurry) and it was stolen out of my car. To make...

Ok so I'm 18 and I'm finishing up my last year in high school and I've been talking with a band needing a bass sub for their midwest tour and they seem interested. My dilemma: Do I stay here finish up school and pass up a big chance to live my dream? Or do I go on the road take a chance(and...

Hey There Tbers. So i'm currently in a band that's been together about a year and we are having trouble with our gigs. We seem to get them but have only really had any luck with production companies booking for us. Problem is, we really don't get money from it. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE to...

ok so we have a show coming up and we want this one to be memorable because we're getting a new singer and changing our name, this is our last show playing as the way we are now. Does anyone have any good cover ideas? they cant be super complicated because we don't have long to learn and the...

Ok so my band started out as a 6 piece we formed just to play a talent show a couple years back and ended up becoming a real band. About a month after our first real show our lead vocalist left with only 3 weeks before another one so our guitarist took over singing. It was supposed to be only...

Ok so I'm in a band based around the greater Seattle area. We've played about 6-7 shows but we've never really went to clubs, other bands/producers have books them for us. Well we want to start playing alot more often and we have a bunch of originals as well as covers. My question is: Will...

Hey everyone, So I'm in this band and we've played a few shows and what not. Our sound is usually kind of powerpop(ish) and has never really been too heavy. Well at practice the other day our guitarist showed us a new line he wrote and it sounded more like hardcore or metal. Anyways I...
