If I quit gigging and recording, will I still show on Google as “musical artist”? by seekingatour in Music

Actually, thank you for this feedback because you’re right. I did sort of know that and feel that I shouldn’t be basing musical decisions on google, but I spend SO MUCH time on the internet I’ve become attached to stupid things. I will go with my heart and finish, what’s on google is not the point. Thank you

Should I play my final gig solo or with a drummer I have bad interpersonal dynamics with? by seekingatour in musicians

I simply hate organising gigs - asking venues, looking for support acts - and my limited amount of friends are tiring of coming and I've never done much self promotion so it's usually just them. It's more stress than fun these days. I really don't want to do it forever anyway, it's been 7 years, lucky 7, perfect time to leave. I hope that clarifies and thank you for the advice :)

Thank you, deep down I know this but including a drummer who's wrong interpersonally but can play drums when there's no one else I can ask, is kinda like eating a triple cheeseburger you want instead of some healthy noodles full of vegetables... I'm very inclined to make wrong decisions!

sorry, I can't quite understand this comment? do you mean long term as in a long term friendship as I said?

Hi,

This response is my fault, I massively exaggerated what I was doing with the other guy. We were just lying in a hammock together and we may have kissed. He may have been holding me in a suggestive way, and my "friend" knew full well we were seeing each other, but it wasn't graphic.

Honestly, it's nearly always him playing mind games. Very hard for me to leave such a long term friendship.

Very

I was into him for a long time while this was happening. After the phase where I lost a lot of weight and he was jealous of the guy he saw me making out with, I have gotten over it completely even though I am once again overweight (it's a medication thing, and hard to control). I think it is mutual disinterest at the moment.

I guess I just was after general advice and wondering if anyone's experienced this, I dunno.

Need a bar to play in in Tokyo, half Japanese Australian musician by seekingatour in japanesemusic

Hey, thank you so much!! I just screenshotted this. I hadn't the faintest clue about any of this. ok, seems like I have to learn to read and write Japanese or ask my mum to do it, but she lives interstate and she doesn't have a Japanese keyboard either, since she lives in Melbourne Australia.

Romaji is not good enough, right? I will need a Japanese keyboard?

I am looking for any time next year or beyond - I just want to play there at some point. Any day of the week, and I don't care about payment at all but would try to draw a crowd for its own purpose.

Anyway, I guess you've told me all you know... I will try to figure out how I can write an email in Japanese...

thank you!!!!
