To Bands: Some Pointers During Gigs

Band members as well as the gig goers have different reasons why they attend gigs. Some would want to just chill and drink with friends. Some would really attend the gig just to make sure that they got to see their favorite band perform.

One thing is for sure, we are all there to enjoy.

Last week when I went to a gig, I suddenly thought of making an article regarding performing bands/artists.

These are just simple pointers for band members while on stage playing during a gig:

1. Before you start playing or singing, mention the name of your band first.
2. Don't speak too fast or too loud that the audience can hardly understand what you guys are saying.
3. Make sure that you promote your album, t-shirt, gig skeds, if you have.
4. Connect with the audience.
5. If there are requests that you don't know, make sure to thank the one who requested it and say that you'll try playing it next time so they should watch you guys again.
6.Don't forget to thank the sponsors and the audience.
7.Promote the venue where you are playing.
8. And for me, the most important, IF YOU HAVE ANY ORIGINAL SONG, BEFORE PLAYING IT, MENTION THAT IT'S YOUR ORIGINAL SONG. Sometimes, it's important to gig goers to know that a band do have a compo.


And there it goes, people. :)

I wrote this one based on my observations while attending gigs. :P

This is what I'm craving for..
