wat i wanna stress for gig organisers is pls know wat band u r looking for. if its a pub/ club, get gd mature bands who can attract public to the place. dun get kiddo newbie bands who have underage fans who cant go!! it defeats evryting, u cant pack in crowds with dat kinda bands. dun just pick bands from soft or from werd of mouth. audition them! demand portfolios,demos all that so u can choose. make sure they play damn well in watever genre they play, make sure they can entertain so ppl will come and watch n dat will make ur marketing job easier, not passing it to the bands to sell the tix!! marketing is still ur job. (but it sounds challenging for bands to sell the tix as well arr..)
u jolly well know the rental of space is so ex, then y bother do in pubs? u tink it will do the bands gd by gigging there? u wanna kill ur business isit?
if you find it hard to organize gigs in pubs, then go public, like wat ppl been doin past decade or so. proper public gig w/o the charity or govt or religion banners is so hard to find nowadays as compared to last time, i dunno y.
do more of those gigs, so lesser known/ notsogd bands can practice live onstage. isit so hard to do dat?
well now bands;
u try lah sell the tix to strangers see they wanna buy onot. learn to persuade them to buy. in future u nid the art of persuasion to push ur bands furthur up. if u cant ask strangers to buy ur gig tix, wat makes u tink u can sell ur album, merchandise etc tru private distribution in future??? if they die2 dun wanna buy, prolly ur band mite not be dat marketable, then werk at it i say. isnt tix selling a gd barometer for ur band whether u r gd o not? if u gd, push harder, if not stay as hobby lah.
now u wanna get paid? hehe!! be a solid band first lah, then the payment will come..the audience wanna see a band move, entertain, not some bunch of ppl who dun move an inch, smile, communicate well, bad rapport, dress sloppy, sound imbalance but play note for note oh so well!! the audience mite as well plug in their mp3!!
in the end playing music is much easier than organising an event. tink it tru so called musos!!
