Whiskey Karma’s schedule has been rapidly filling up to the point where our 1 gig per month goal is easily being met, to the point where we are gigging more frequently than once per month for the next while. We try to not gig too often, as it gets harder to ensure a good turnout when we play...

My band decided to take December off and our January gig got pushed out to April for various reasons, so we had a 2 month break between our last gig and this show. Our venue for the evening was the (in)famous Byrd at the Flamingo Hotel in Surrey. The Byrd used to be a strip club for many, many...

This gig was a long time coming for about 3 months – every date the venue owner suggested we happened to have another gig the same weekend. We try to play about 1 time per month, so November is turning out to be a busy month, for us. The owner is trying to start up a Country night, and we had...

Our drummer had noticed an ad for a battle of the bands type contest at the Railway Stage and Beer café, the re-opened name of the locally legendary Railway Club. The Railway club was Vancouver’s longest continually operating nightclub from 1931 until 2016, when it closed down. It was...

First attempt at a Gig report, so go easy on me – BassCliff sets such a high standard for all of us to live up to. Anyhow, October 1, my band Whiskey Karma was offered the opening slot at the Roxy here in Vancouver. The Roxy is, of course, notorious as being the cause of the “Roxy Flu” for...

Hey all, My modern country band is finally getting moving, after several guitarist issues. I don't know what it is about guitarists, but we seem to have trouble finding any lead guitars that will play anything but metal. We play mainly originals with some cover songs thrown in between. I...

Ok was browsing the Vancouver Craigslist and saw a couple of guys starting tribute bands. One wanted to start a "Sweet" tribute band and another wanted to start a "Chicago" tribute band. I can't see either band really drawing a crowd in this market at all. Me, I can only name a couple of...

Hello all, would like some advice on a question that has been bugging me. I'd like to get a set of speakers for monitoring my recording for some basic mixing. I don't have a lot of money to drop at this point (let's say $100 max for a pair). I am looking at the "studio" monitors in this...

Hey all, I have a SVT-AV and an Ampeg 810, and I love the sound together. I do know some gigs require smaller than the 810 from a visual standpoint, so I am looking for a cab that as closely replicated the 810 sound in a smaller cab package. I don't want to do away with the SVT, so the cab...

So, my band has been going through everyone's favorite challenge: replacing our vocalist. The last one was a decent singer but high on the crazy scale. She told us that her boyfriend was locking her out of the house so she had to sleep under the porch and various other outlandish stories...

Alright, "New" Amp day. Bought a SVT AV for $750 on Craigslist that had one missing knob. Where in the world would I find a new one for this thing? I know these are basically a CL in a different outfit. I've checked ebay and amazon and haven't found a match. Hoping somebody might have...

Recently was offered an opportunity to join a band with a decent female lead singer (not unbelievable, but quite good). The music is good, and the players seem to have some talent. The challenge (for me) is the name of the band is the lead singer's name that she has concocted for herself...

OK, everyone says "Craigslist is the worst way to find bandmates" and while I agree it can be the home of many flakes and can't do's, you can still find some gold if you're willing to take the time to separate the "Wheat from the chaff". I had taken a bit of a hiatus from being in a band...
