Re: My band playing are first show
I'll be honest because that's what I would want you to be. As a band, it's not very cohesive. the timing and togetherness of the 4 of you killed it, especially when you seem to be trying tp play like Mars Volta. Mars Volta is a super group of already established musicians. They would never sound like that - missing the fundamental building blocks of a band, but that's how we start.
More glue. That's the most exciting part for an audience to behold - the whole band working *together* to set forth a behemoth of musical momentum that crushes all in it's path.
Your drummer should have had a stick holder with extra sticks. That's what they're for. But, it was your first show, so that's something you learn early on.
and, it should be "played our first"...
