When gig organisers look for bands, their requests are posted in the Bands/Musicians Wanted section. Not in the Gig/Concert section.
If you are interested to perform, do add yourself to this list. http://soft.com.sg/forum/musicians-bands-available/79711-official-band-available-gigs-thread.html

Agreed. Visa I know you're in a band that's out there already lah, so you might come off as being insensitive. But either way +1.
Mesergod: This is Singapore, stop wasting your time, take your talents overseas (if you think you're good enough).

Sorry if I seemed insensitive! But we really need to stop spoonfeeding people, for the sake of everybody.
My perspective is from that of the gig organizer- there are hundreds of bands on MySpace with solid tracks uploaded, with a decent fanbase too. These bands are more likely to show up on time, more likely to be comfortable onstage and play a proper set, more likely to bring friends and fans to watch them play, and all in all are a better choice altogether.
Hence I humbly suggest that a gig organizer who posts a thread looking for bands doesn't really know what he's doing, and is likely to organize a poor gig.
Everybody, from the bands to the organizers, needs to do their homework if we want the scene to become a better place. Putting random bands on stage for the sake of it is not a good idea.
Cheers

Agreed. People need to get out there and do their homework, just that honestly, there is no scene in this part of the world. We need to create a scene that a government killed some 20 years ago by trying to regulate the arts. Not going to be easy, I doubt I'll see it in my life. That being said, I think indie is pretty strong in Singapore, my metal, well, I'll just say I'm thankful that I'm moving out in a couple of years.
yupp hahah i've seen and heard bands that can make your ears bleed

You know what happened? We flamed :twisted: them to their inevitable deaths because we thought that paying to play was a bad concept. I'm part of the we btw, and imo, cash should be the last thing bands directly chip in to make a gig happen. Bands should help organisers promote the event online / here/ myspace / friendster/ youtube / poster / word of mouth, bring in the crowd / friends / fans / random dude, settle the venue / stage equipment rental, sell tickets cause they want to (not sell a fixed amount of tickets and cover the damn cost of any unsold tickets).
In other words, bands should help organisers organise the event through some effort. This would definitely make the gig a more fulfilling experience because of the personal effort put into it. In a way, the bands will have had a certain say in what goes on before / during / after the gig.
Logically speaking, cause of the effort, bands would want the gig to be successful, thus they would make an effort play better for greater satisfaction.
Now, we know there're a lot of rich kids who don't mind paying to play. Or people who have rich friends who don't mind being forced to buy tickets to watch their lousy performance. Thus, once in a while, an organiser WILL organise these kinda pay to play gigs to meet the demands for it... :twisted:

Agreed... whats the point of playing to a bunch of your friends, who you know will be there for you, when you're onstage, cheering you on like as if you're the rockstar for the night? Thats all bullshit man.
The strangest experience is what's dangerous and exciting.
The familiar is a boring and thin pretence.

The TS initial question was "last time wen organizers wan to find band for their gig they post it here..but nowadays..u dun see any gig threads anymore...wad happen?"
The answer I given was "They are posted in the Bands/Musicians Wanted section", not the Gig/Concert section.
The rest of the reply here seem to be OT.
