lozkerr Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 (edited) A little late, but we played a multi-band gig at Legends in Edinburgh on Saturday for a fundraiser for Gazan families. Great atmos and a seriously pumped crowd. My friendly and approachable stage persona was in full swing.

Bluewine Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 12 hours ago, Bluewine said: The Sunday 4-7 Maple Road gig at The Baaree turned out pretty good. Decent size engaged crowd, low stage volume and we were good. Not much for pictures. Check out the guidelines for bands. I'd say it's pretty fair.

Cat Burrito Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Deadlight Dance did a quick turn at one of the local open mic nights, as we have been a bit light on bookings. We played two off of our new EP, one of the singles off of the debut album and ended on Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. I got a genuine laugh for describing us as "Wiltshire's darkest boy band". The low point was a very drunken lady congratulating me on my Halloween costume that I had to explain was actually just how I look. A good standard of acts last night and we are both experienced enough to pay the other acts the courtesy of watching and supporting them. 9 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did similar, doing a few numbers at Bargoed folk club - the high points being my partner, usually our band's percussionist, singing lead vocal on "Help Me Make it through the Night", and (having forgotten my treble recorder) me playing a bit of John Playford melody on octave mandolin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit that if i'm supporting i usually pack up and head home mainly because i have to drive minimum of 1hr to any gig and its good to get home early from a gig for a change.

Dave This tends to be me too. It’s not like I’m in a mad panic to get away, that might seem rude, but I’ll probably be off part way through the next set. That said, my next support is only 40mins down the road, so I might stay for a bit longer. Our BL tends to stay on for any other bands, so there is a band representative there, but he’s more local.

I do like to try and watch the other bands if I don't have a long journey back. I'll always try and say to the other bands if I have to leave, so I'm not just disappearing. Try and be a bit more polite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I'm not completely heartless but I usually don't know the other band at all and if i don't see them watching us then i have no probs leaving as soon as i've finished. Had some very stand offish and unhelpful bands i've been on same gig. On the other hand i've occasionally come across a really helpful group of guys that can't do enough and i'll always make a point of either staying for a bit or at the very least thanking them and/or explain we have a 2-3 hr drive ahead of us and wish them a good gig.

Dave Actually, I have had those too. I've found in the doom scene, bands seem to be nicer than they were in the post-rock scene from that perspective. Might be the high (pun intended) number of stoners the genre attracts? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Not last night - Saturday weird one - but got to see @Dankology and his ace band Dead Tenant We had a mix of our punters and some of the regulars of the venue… We got paid, played well…bit of a weirdness with the venue owner (put it this way, we got a 3 text apology) but not bad. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dankology Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Just to echo @AndyTravis's comments above... Saturday was great: afternoon gigs might be the way forward. Fiasco Jam were phenomenal - great songs, great arrangements and everyone locked in. As I've already said to him, Andy might be my favourite bassist: despite his immense technical and sonic range, he always serves the song and never puts a foot wrong. We were a bit rusty in comparison but acquitted ourselves acceptably. Very grateful to FJ for taking us along! 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Very recently we had a gig and a young girl was doing some solo vocal work before my band played, nice mood setting etc, we helped her setup, soundcheck, used our gear, she sang (very well tbf), but then when she was done packed her bits up and left without saying a word of thanks or watching us play. :(! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
