HateEvent Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm still in the process of writing tracks for my soon to be gigging (hopefully) band. I'm just wondering, 5/6 originals and a cover - that OK as a start for gigs? I REEEEEEEALLY wanna get going and want to have an idea what we could get away with to be up and running quick.I mean I guess I could pump out shite for the sake of having more tracks, but that would be stupid...P.S. I put this into this section because I know it'll prob get more hits quickly? Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 There's no point in rushing to play gigs, but if you really want/need to, 6/7 songs seems like more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 It's not as much rushing to play them as being really eager to do it. I stood in for someone at a gig before - albeit only for 2 songs - and it was fantastic, so I really can't wait to do it with my own material. Was just a checker that what I have already is adequate to go out and go ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, I might be wrong. Probably am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Depends on the cover I guess - if the cover is particularly innovative, I'd say keep it, as if the gig isn't going down too well, you can throw the cover in to regain people's interest.As long as your set is about 30 minutes from start to finish, you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 If the covers decent enough, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the guy....unless the cover is really good....just play your own stuff....6 songs is way enough.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, James[/quote']Know your songs, get up on stage, have confidence in yourselves, play with your heart, don't take shit from anyone, and most importantly, have fun. As for covers, if you can do with in an inventive way, or with as much or more passion than the original band who did it, then go for it, but playing your own material would be better.
