What do say when people ask about your band?

[4001]

"What band?"

 

[maxl]

We play everything between Journey and Guns n Roses, but mostly Journey and Guns n Roses

 

[PaulS]

I just say “We do our own thing”

 

[Tony In Philly]

"We hardly ever rehearse."

 

[bass.slinger]

We play original songs, just not ours....

 

[TomB]

Which band?

 

[dannylectro]

“We’re Big in Europe”

 

[elgecko]

"People either love us or hate us...or think we're okay"

- Mitch Hedberg -

 

[two fingers]

"We hardly ever rehearse."

Well played.

 

[IamGroot]

This is where you need a carefully worded, well thought polite scripted response thats humble but upbeat and positive.

It doesnt need to be truthful.

Listen to what pros say and parrot it.

 

[REV]

We're big in Turlock. We're not very good but we're really nice people.

 

[D.A.R.K.]

My responses: "Which one?" followed by "check out my label".

 

[2tonic]

We're the most liked band appearing here tonight........




Of course, we're the only band appearing here tonight!

 

[whero]

I flip-flop between two standard responses that go something like this:

1. We're really good at what we do. I'm a web content manager, he's a teacher, and the other three guys are doctors. We haven't tried this music stuff before though. But how hard can it be?
   
   
2. We're the second best Tiny Tim tribute band on the bill tonight.

 

[Stumbo]

"Good enough"

 

[Nashrakh]

"Every song better than the next!"

No one realizes what that means though.

 

[Michedelic]

We beat the dead horse of rock’n’roll.

 

[Michedelic]

Well right now I tell then that we are on hiatus. When we are playing I told them that we were a mix of Sinatra and Marilyn Manson.

Cool, does it sound like this:


Or this?

 

[Buzzgroove]

‘We’ve played a few bars in Glasgow over 4 or 5 years, a couple of times they were even busy’

 

[6Bass101]

"Our quality guarantee: The more you drink, the better we sound!"

Beat me to it. This line is my go to.
