  1. I didn't think anyone would notice the "Hard Days Night" reference. Lol Daryl
  2. Agreed, polite, humble and being overly nice to the entire staff. It goes along way. I've seen bands come in like they're doing you a favor just by their mere presence. I just don't understand where that kind of attitude gets you anywhere. And I understand it's not easy for everybody. I just happen to love talking to new people and making sure to make my conversation about them and what they're up to and not about me. Daryl
  3. I'm never pitching the band so it's hard to come up with a big selling point. I think most of our gigs come from " call ins" so I can't imagine we have to pitch very much. " We're very clean" Would that work? Lol Daryl
  4. It's kind of hard not to like AC/DC. Daryl
  5. I hope this link works.
  6. Yes, use the phrase and let us know if and when your band lays an egg. Lol Daryl
  7. We're also one of the only local bands that has their own high quality sound and lighting. We have 3 divisions. 1. Maple Road Blues Band 2. She's Right I'm Left. ( Acoustic offering) 3. Sound & Lighting Daryl
  8. We have trouble keeping drummers too. Daryl
  9. We struggle with consistency. We can be really good at one gig and lay an egg at the next . Daryl
  10. I won't complain. It was " Midnight Rambler" not Rush. Lol Daryl
  11. Excellent I've been surprised by what trios can do. I saw a trio cover " Eleanor " by The Turtles with all the harmonies. Daryl
  12. I think the main distinction between us and other local bands is the gregarious personality of our band leader and her husband. They're both really good at working a crowd. Daryl
  13. "Delighted", that's where I like to be. I'm jealous of the pic, very cool. Daryl
  14. Sounds productive Dave. Daryl
  15. What separates your band from the other bands in the areas you work in ? What do you have that others don't ? If you were pitching your band to a prospect, what would be your bast selling point. You can also add in areas where you think your band struggles. Daryl
  16. Sounds like a nice weekend. Daryl
  17. Dave, We're basically background music at The Harley Motor as well. However, we're set up in front of they're large horse shoe shaped bar and I know we draw more interest from the punters than most bands that play there. Daryl
  18. Cool, is that an RCF sub and main on the far left ? We use RCF for our acoustic gigs. Daryl
  19. The Harley Motor gig was fantastic. I was extremely happy with my playing and performance. We were clicking on all 6 cylinders Daryl
  20. Hi Dave, Bass pre-amp straight into the PA. Works well for acoustic gigs. Daryl
  21. Nice! Here's how our rehearsals work for new material. Last night at The Ziegler Winery during the 2nd set. The band leader just goes into Allman Brother's "Midnight Rambler". We've never played it before. We're expected to follow her. Lol Daryl
  22. Thanks Pete, It's a nice place located in the middle of nowhere . Great staff and "well heeled" clientle. Daryl
  23. Stub, The Harley Motor can be hit or miss. If there's a big event in Milwaukee there's usually a nice crowd. The Motor and The Harley Museum is mainly for tourists. Daryl
  24. No in ears. We're still using stage monitors Dave. That's my condo association in the van pic. Daryl
  25. Good gig. The place was empty when we were setting up, however by 5:30 we had more than a respectable size crowd. I was happy with my playing tonight. Tomorrow night we're back at The Harley Motor. Daryl
