LukeFRC Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 My last originals band (a while back now) did really really well given the lack of gigs we really played... and people loved us, why? cos we didn't take it too seriously and had fun. Which the audience could join in. We also were fairly intentional but weren't hanging our pride on being successful - and it showed. Quote

skankdelvar Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) To be fair, we often complain about band members who don't take it seriously enough. Late, flakey, don't learn the songs, always going on about their Missus, feeble excuses and mullered onstage. OTOH, as these ads demonstrate, the pendulum can swing much too far the other way. What we [i]really [/i]need is cheerful, moderately sane, competent and reliable. It's not a big ask, is it? And yet. [color=#ffffff].[/color] . Edited February 1, 2013 by skankdelvar Quote
