Why Some Musicians Don't Gig

Okay finally read through all of this with a few thoughts-not entirely on topic:

Early on there was a few posts with the general gist of "why play live? You can record and release via computers and the internet now." Which is true, however I don't think there are many good examples of an act that made it big purely via an internet presence. Certainly Rebecca Black for as long as that lasted (anyone talking about her second release? Because it happened), but bands like Ok Go! which made a big splash on Youtbube, and Kate Bush never had a second tour and has been huge, but both put in their time live before then.

I am happy to report that I quickly did a google search and found all of the recordings with my name on them up to par, so I still feel good about offering advice here and there.

Brad Johnson, are you the Brad Johnson that's been playing with Ocean Street?

Oh bummer man. My friend plays guitar for them, and he's always telling me "You should come out-BRAD JOHNSON is playing bass." Like I should know who Brad Johnson is. He tells me he's from Boston, and I know you list Maryland, which isn't close at all, but I thought he might be confused. I figured anyone with a Brubaker deal might be a "THE Brad Johnson"!
