We played our first ever few gigs at a particular pub.
It then changed management and I've been in touch with the new guys.
They wanted us to do a short-notice gig for 3 hours - I think they balked at the rate we told them, which isn't high at all and what we used to get. Anyway, we couldn't do it anyway - there are 6 of us and we have to plan in advance, plus we've a new drummer so we're still polishing songs.
I gave him 4-5 band suggestions as he said a few weeks later that he was struggling to get bands. Last night I asked again about a gig in Sept/Oct and the cheeky b&gger said he wants us to do a few songs at their free open-mic night affair on a Thursday to "see what we've got." He knows we've played other places, have the setlist, he's heard our demo and seen videos, I think he's had two bands play now that I suggested that never had to do this - the cheek of it!

That sucks, though.
The more we've played, it seems the less money we make.
To be honest, I don't do it for the money.. unfortunately we've got zero gigs in sight. I'm starting to think I need to move up in a gear into a different band (whilst taking our absolutely sh!t-hot new drummer...) but looking on joinmyband, the ads are pretty depressing!

For covers, the best bet is to do similar but take on dep slots wherever you can.
Its quite difficult to make the initial break-in but after that...
I'm hoping to do some open mic nights with one of our singers... should be cool. Proper fingerstyle guitar and all that!
