Members Onkel Bob Posted September 17, 2006 Members Share Posted September 17, 2006 How much did you get? I think that I've been paid around 200$ in total for playing... Sad, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Festival has already said that they want us back next year, and we are starting to actively look for other gigs! Hopefully, this will be the first of many!

Members Mogwix Posted September 17, 2006 Members Share Posted September 17, 2006 Playing paying gigs are cool, I didn't really consider that a life-long goal though, but that's great you reached yours, sorry if I made it sound insignificant because it really is an achievement as a musician. I just saw it as another stepping stone to my main goal. I've made about $1500 playing music so far... too bad I've spent way more money than I'd like to think on getting this far :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayer7770 Posted September 17, 2006 Members Share Posted September 17, 2006 Getting paid for gigs is great! Congrats! It's become a regular thing for me having played in numerous cover bands. I've also been paid a few times for original gigs, but usually not much.

Members Onkel Bob Posted September 17, 2006 Members Share Posted September 17, 2006 I need to join a good R'n'R covers band so I can start making some dough... I'm ex-changing e-mails with a potetial band right now that might fit the bill. But they want me to play Sweet Home Alabama... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ec437 Posted September 17, 2006 Members Share Posted September 17, 2006 Dude, one time I played for a church on sunday, I thought I was doing it for free, but then I came home a week later and found a check on the counter for $75. Best paying job I ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna take me a long time once I do start getting paid to see a net return on investment as far as gear goes. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they want me to play Sweet Home Alabama... Dude, I don't know what you're complaining about, there's no possible way you've heard that song anywhere near as often as we have here in the States. You can't possibly want to claw out your eyeballs when you hear it. Besides, it's such an easy song, you can stand there and dream about boobs for 5 minutes...it's like taking a break mid-set.

C7 This is true. You'd be surprised that even the good-lookin' wimmins like that song. Not that I want to play that song with my new cover band...

Members henre Posted September 17, 2006 Members Share Posted September 17, 2006 Nice, dude. Glad you're breaking into the scene. Me, one of my life goals in my music is to be influential in the way I think about rock music. Slightly more lofty than yours, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C7 Hm, thanks for that idea. Because someone mentioned it in band practice yesterday. I tried to squelch that idea. But if we can translate it into dancing boobies, well, hm. Congrats Aardvark! So far, my only lifetime payment has been 2 free meals that were good, and free but lousy beer. But we expect to gig for pay soon, as soon as we learn things well enough.
