Location: Oregon | PLayed Spring Fest at my school a couple of weeks ago. Went awesome and most the people who watched us said we killed. The Heavy Rock landed better with the teachers actually. I wasn't that nervous either. I can't wait till I can bust out my ovation on stage though....

And the students were saying, Know any Avril Levigne? |

You have to play at least one hundred sucky gigs before your band will be tight, professional, and able to pull off anything in any situation. Every time you play a crap location, or give a crap show (which MAY never happen)just think, "That's one down - 99 (etc.) to go."
Most bands don't survive the apprenticeship. Some individuals do. (some bands do too.) |
