Advice on getting gigs locally?

Hey

Im in a band and we're struggling to get gigs locally. My old band used to get them with ease fairly early on, Im just looking for maybe tips and advice on how to win promoters or venues over.

Just getting a bit frustrated playing rarely to be honest.

Maybe the best advice is to turn hardcore?

Or maybe to just not be shit?

I dunno

You could be putting people off with your patter mate. The two threads you posted about your band on here were cringeworthy.

Contact some promoters on myspace yourself, or the venues. I'd suggest the Tunnels or Drummonds and ask for support slots.

Erm. Early biffy/idlewild style stuff. Modern Rock. our myspace doesnt do us justice but we're hitting the studio next month :)

We're supporting Tempercalm as well, so chuffed with that.

Yeah if you could put us on that'd be great. Things are improving slightly gig wise now but theyre still relatively few and far between.
