TL;DR - what are some things you insist on doing/not doing when playing shows that you think are important?
I've been playing a few local-ish "fests" lately with 6-10 bands and I'm starting to think a lot of musicians are really just ignorant assholes all the time. There are few things that I prefer to do and ask of my bandmates to NOT be those people:
- Be On Time
- Load/Strike the Stage Quickly
- Ask in advance for set times and plan to not go over
- Try to see as much of the show as possible
- Not be a dick to the promotor/other bands
These seem like easy things, but the more shows I play it appears that about 70% original musicians don't think any of this shit is important.
