Re: My band's first gig's upcomming

hey shreder75, i checked out your band's site and i am very inpressed with your covers. nice work. one side note.... mrs. robisnon isnt by the lemonheads. I think it was by Simon and Garfunkle originally, but i am most familiar with the Beatles' version. I figured you probably knew that already, it just caught me by surprise that your site said you were covering a lemonhead song. ANYWAYS... very solid music there, keep up the good work.

Re: My band's first gig's upcomming

thanks CLINT...we have it as the lemonheads cause they actually did a cover of the simon and garfunkle original...so we're doing a cover of a cover...lol..

thanks for the compliments =)

Re: My band's first gig's upcomming

you might be nervous right before you go on...but if you're like me, once you hit that first note or sing that first word...you just start having fun!

Re: My band's first gig's upcomming

I'm nervous already HOSS...lol...this place we're playing at is a big friggin' deal...alotta big local bands have played there....so it's like trial by fire..I;'ll be the one ralphing in the bathroom before we go on...lol..

then I'll probably be like angus young and channel all that nervous energy in odd forms of dance...hehe

Re: My band's first gig's upcomming

I've not played in a lot of bands, but used to help this one band out when they needed a guitarist, and I was always nervous about the first 15 minutes, but then after that and while the gals were dancing and wiggling, I was getting into the rest of the night.. hehe.. Now it still bothers me to play in front of people, but again, only for a little while.. I don't know why, just does.. but it's worth it.. Have fun above all and remember, music was meant to be enjoyed and not a drag .. If it becomes a drag as work does in a lot of jobs, dump it and start over with another band or talk to the band and change it.. It's supposed to be fun, so have FUN!
