They mean don't do a Friday/Saturday in the same area. Or even succeeding weekends. They want buffer in between shows to make sure all of your crew come instead of blowing all the attendance on the first one or second one and then having nobody come for the first one.
Not saying I agree, just explaining what I think they mean.
And I'm not selling tickets. Ever.
I can understand that when you are dealing with original bands who can wear out their draw by playing too often, but this happend to a cover band I was in .
One club's booking agent got mad at us for not specifically promoting our one gig at his club. We were playing anywhere from 2 to 6 times a month, so we usually only promoted (on Facebook and our website) whichever gig(s) were happening that week unless it was a special event, which this gig wasn't.
The place he was booking for had recently changed owners and had a new name and renovation and even though we brought a fair amount of people in, that's about all the people that showed up, and it was the one time we got stiffed some of our guarantee.
Wasn't surprised when a few months later I drove by the place and saw that it had been sold and renamed/remolded yet again.
We had one club's booking guy give us crap for playing too many shows around the time we played his club. He was mad that we weren't doing enough to promote a specific gig at his club, but we were a cover band that played
