Good luck with getting gigs. I'm sure someone out there will give you a show (I suggest you contact Hen at The Tunnels - he's always willing to give almost any band a platform on which to show what they can do. If you promise him a decent number of people along then he'll give you a chance.

When you do get a gig, I suggest you ask the sound engineer if it is okay to record your set from the sound desk via a mini-disc player.

Just so you have an audible insight to what you actually sound like to stick online.

Thanks for all your advice, it's appreciated.

aye these folks are speaking sense, i wish i had followed that kind of advice when we started gigging. we got out first gig in the tunnels, and we played pretty well, because we practiced very hard, its just our songs were not up to standard...ach, we were young.
however i know how you feel, you cant wait to get out there and play some gigs, but you'll make more of an impact if your first gig is a blinder. will try and get along to see you when you land a gig.

cheers

Surely if you're experienced like you say, and are willing to help with promotion, you could just book your own show, rather than trying to rely on a fairly vague thread ('band comprised of people who have played gigs before seeks gigs with this new band, we sound like foo fighters') ???

[ASFG]

But I'm not relying on it.

Okay, we could only consider gigs at the very tail end of October or in November now as we've confirmed a date at the Moorings on the 18th of October.

Thanks.
