Originally posted by ratthedd You can't dance to a song you've never heard before. The fact that this is the prevelent attitude in this country makes me . I dance to music I've never heard before all the time. I want to rail against the logic here but I guess for most music venues it's true.

What that guy said +1

Originally posted by DonaldDemon Do you most of you guys play in cover bands? I don't know what the hell I do wrong but I have never ever had a girl come on to me, come up to me, even talk to me at a show. WTF am I doing wrong? I'd like to think that I'm a decent looking dude, 6'2" and in shape. I get more chicks when we aren't playing. It must be the music we play. Not girl/bar-whore friendly type of music. You probably seem too desperate, and girls hate that. You've got to seem friendly but unimmediate. What kind of music do you play anyway? I scare away perspectives too but that's because I play very experimental music in my bands which people will usually either love or hate. One of my bands might also convince onlookers that I am somehow mentally unstable, so the universal attitude that musician=sex magnet is a little misleading. I've got to add anther layer to this story: I'm gay, and while I'm out to everyone who knows me I don't look very stereotypical. So my relationships with crowd women can be really funny, especially with the drunken post-modern choreographer types that tend to hang out at my shows. I've diffused more than one possible groupie story for this thread by mentioning my proclivities to them in some funny off-hand way while they are in the early stages of trying to seduce. I keep hoping one of these girls will be like "Oh you should meet my friend John (or whatever..) then... *enter tall shy geeky looking wallflower of my dreams* but it never does. *sigh* Everytime I run into a fellow fag at one of my shows, he has a boyfriend Being a gay musician playing anything from left-field totally sucks, because I spend all my spare time working on my bands, and the rest of it at dayjob, so I have no time in which meet any queers with half a brain. I can't go to gay bars either, that music drives me up the {censored}ing wall.
