Members ToeJamFootball Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 One of Australia's biggest bands is playing in my town in two weeks time. My last band opened for them, and they sold out. I was pushing and pushing to get the opening slot for these guys, it would have been excellent to get our music out to such a huge crowd. No luck, these guys got it - www.myspace.com/evesgreedband Advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Benjamin Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 Bide your time and maybe without going too far, assess your opposition. Sometimes there's no reason you get looked over, sometimes booking agents or pub owners don't have much of a memory or sense of loyalty. Worse still when a pub owner says he likes you and will book gigs but never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
