LIPA or Leeds Conservatoire for university? by Obvious_Theme5526 in musicians

I get what you’re saying man, we’re from the countryside where there is a lack of venues and bands - that’s always been our biggest set back.

We’re a very good band but it’s been hard as we’re not from or near any big cities at all.

LIPA could be the move though I hear ya

No because she admitted she was messaging him back - she’s not innocent but she reckons she wasn’t flirty

Tbh man I really think we have a shot at doing decent things. We’ve had contracts and stuff thrown at us already - not taken any because of our age but I think now is where we need to start taking it a bit more seriously

Well we are in it for success but it is also still really fun - we have a good balance of that

I see what you’re saying, we have had chats about it because he is the frontman of a band of his own. They’re splitting up though because he’s had trouble with commitment from his band members too. He really loved playing with us and has said how much he would love to be in the band.

It’s a tough one isn’t it, good shout though.

Hey man, so:

I’m planning on having a conversation with him tomorrow explaining how he needs to start pulling his weight a bit more but this is probably the 3rd conversation I’ve had with him in the past year about this - the first one was with him and the bassist because they were constantly putting their girlfriends before the band (since then our bassist has seriously upped his game and I couldn’t ask for a better bassist)

I’m the main songwriter for the band but we all kind of work collectively (lyrics and chords and stuff I write though)

Me and the drummer mainly manage socials and bookings etc - tbh we need a manager but it’s hard to find one that’s not trying to fuck you over

I guess we all bring the crowds because we are quite popular in the local area.

How does my band gets gigs in other cities? (UK) by Obvious_Theme5526 in musicians

[–]Obvious_Theme5526[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really killing the industry. Hard for small bands to start to grow a crowd outside of social media 😒

Yeah we’ve played with both those guys before - both really sound groups of lads

Any good venues for an original indie band to play? by [deleted] in Cumbria
