While not on tour I will play anywhere from twice a month to four times a week. While on tour I play 5 or 6 days a week. I wish I was on tour.....I'm drinking milk, though....

Members THX1138 Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 We've gotten to a point where we play about three weekends a month most times. But, we're taking about the next month off for vacations and to finish up mixdowns on our second release. Hopefully when that pig is out of the way finally, we'll take the gigging up a notch.

Members CloseEnoughRocks Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 We play every Friday and Saturday and most Thursdays. And now the band is discussing adding some Wednesdays. The guy I replaced will probably do the Wednesday gigs. And I'm training another guy to take a weekend for me now and again. This hobby is turning into a job.

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 With my trio "Too Hot For Snakes" a couple times a month, on the average. Solo, several times a week (mostly nursing homes, hospitals, restaurants, coffeehouse, etc.) And a few times a month I sub on lead or bass with various bands.

Members cherri Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 3 - 4 weekends per month, and an occasional Thursday or Sunday acoustic show. I keep promising the guys one weekend off per month and I keep booking shows... they don't seem to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B Money Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 usually twice a month. Every other weekend is great for a bunch of 30-something weekend warriors with full time day jobs and families. Last summer we played too much and it started to take the fun out of it, so this year we resolved to play less and to overhaul our set list.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 4-6 times a month. Always a weekend off every six weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tucktronix Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 With the blues band, about 5 - 6 times each month or so. It's hard to get steady work with the prog band, tho. Normally, we would double bill with Gamalon or a more nationally known band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackwatch Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'd been playing pretty close to weekly but I've decided to cut back and have more of a life on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PBBPaul Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 Nowadays we play about 2 or 3 times per month. We used to play 10 - 12 shows but it gat to be too much with families, day jobs and the like so we cut back to our current schedule. It's enough to keep our chops up and get a little pocket change.Although we're only doing one in August since My wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant.

Members shredhead666 Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 About 2-3 times a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members srsfallriver Posted July 29, 2005 Members Share Posted July 29, 2005 From May to October we gig at least once a week. We probably have fewer than five gigs between October and May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya....we are in full "record mode" right now, and will be mixing (we are done with the recording save for one track, most vocals, punches and solos...that sort of {censored}) till this house party we are playing on the 13th of Aug. we hope to have the money to have it mastered and packaged by Sept. for a release party. now that we are done with line up changes, we need to do at least two shows a month to pay for this CD....and merch. we had taken a month or so off as well to rehearse with our new bass player.

Members LateGreats Posted July 29, 2005 Members Share Posted July 29, 2005 If my band was able to keep a goddamn guitarist, we'd be playing out right now! But usually, 2-3X a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machinegun78_2 Posted August 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 1, 2005 yeah....we JUST decided to step it up a bit.....we have three booked this month, and we are working on three for next month. we need the money for the CD, as this {censored} is NOT cheap.....by Nov, we should be at a place where we can go back to once a month. that seems to keep them coming back.
