My band has a show on Thursday!! I do love playing live. But, there is a reason why we haven't done it much, as of late. And, truth be told, I think I'm the instigator behind it.
It's been almost two years since our last show. At the very same venue we're about to rock in a couple of days time. We had a pretty good show. It was just really a shame that no one was there to hear it. When you're an older band, your fan base is usually older as well. Which means, they are harder to get out to hear ya play. Also, it's not like we're a big time act. So, it's also difficult to get people to multiple shows. Our last show, we had (if I remember correctly) 4 people show. After that, I said I wasn't gonna go through all the effort, for a glorified practice session. But, I also didn't think it was fair to the people we booked with. They expect us to bring butts through the door. That's how they make they're money on the night. I just couldn't justify it, on either side of the equation.
But, time moves on & things change. Brian assures me he can bring in some new people he's met & have never seen us play. I also have wrangled a person or two. John's pretty much a non-factor most shows, as far as guests go. But, as long as we can get double digits through the door, that'll be a successful night, in my eyes. So, c'mon out & enjoy the night life. We'll have a beer, or two, or three...
