Members Lanefair Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 I played to 2 people once. Literally the other band and two people watching us. That's when you got to play twice as hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phishmarisol Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 I once saw a show where I was the only person there for the entire second set. It was during winter break in a small college town and it snowed that night so during the first set there were about 5 people in the place. They left at setbreak and I was all alone. It was pretty weird but the band really appreciated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when you got to play twice as hard. Problem isn't this being the first time. This would be... 10+ of situations like this happening. I mean i didn't explain part of the situation. I mean the place is seriously like a good 15 min drive outside of the College town. And i mean in a town where you can drive 2 min to get anywhere, why would you want to drive that far for a show, when it's supposed to rain, and its a thursday, and paying a cover + gas thats already to expensive. So.. yeah. The economical view of it was against us. And this was kind of a favor for a group on campus. LAST one of these needless to say. We signed up for two. The first time we played there we made like 215 at the door with $1 long necks(ftw!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody else will get the pleasure of playing in that wonderful place! hahaha.. heck we even crashed on that dingy floor the night before, the dude's toilet was a 10 gallon bucket that was full of piss and other stuff I don't wanna think about.

There is a reason it is now closed. I think you just nailed it on 1/3 of the reasons why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Teahead Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've played two or three gigs to almost empty rooms. One night the smoking ban kicked in and Champions League footie was on, we almost packed up and didn't even play, until a few mates fell through the doors at the last minute. Srangely, I don't really enjoy what are for me huge, packed gigs that much more than I do the small, empty ones. It's a trade off, the lack of pressure usually makes up for the lack of appreciation.

Members Tengo Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 The gig I played on Sunday was virtually empty. The barman said he was taking a risk by booking us for Sunday lunch. The risk did not pay off. Maybe played to ten people in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With two beers and a jack n coke. I'll play to a crowd of 10 to a crowd of 1,000 the same. Just a bummer to only get paid $35. We are saving for a trailer. SO we can get out of this hell hole. (The trailer would just make things about 100% easier in transporting things.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Just a bummer to only get paid $35. $35?{censored} the band probably spent more than that in gas to get to and from the gig... so you'd probably save up money faster if you just didn't gig.
