the more you play, the more people will hear you... if you're just starting out, play any and every gig you can! make contacts with promoters, booking guys, venues in general. if you're more established, be more selective of the gigs you play - ie if you're offered gigs regularly, consider the venue, bill, slot and calendar before agreeing to it, but dont turn it down 'cause its in aberdeen'.

Or is that just too sensible?

Element 106 aren't just starting out, they've been around since the late 70s. Although in that time they have had 106 line-up changes (hence the name), with Hog joining the band as a young apprentice in 1984, at the tender age of 43.

Fuck it, what's to be achieved by not playing locally?...and....what is to be achieved? I don't care!

We have a strong song...it's about the massacre in Beslan. We shall record soon.

I see a flaw in this... not got the hang of promotion huh?

In order to get people to come to your shows. Telling them BEFORE!!!!!!!! the event, might be a step forward.
