SpaceChick Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm another one that takes a flask of coffee I'm trying to think of unusual things and I can't. I take promotional flyers too and a spare tshirt. I always take my lucky performance hat, but I haven't worn it in this band, but it's like a good luck charm!

BobVbass Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 soldering iron, leatherman, inflatable stonehenge, assortment of wigs and spandex (vinyl tap only), surgical tape - works better than plasters, ibuprofen, allen keys and feeler gauges. The drummer brings a rubber chicken, a beer bottle operner that makes a burping noise and a viking helmet so I don't bother with those.

jazzyvee Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) After playing so many festivals and outdoor gigs in the 90's, experience has taught me that the most useful, unusual thing to take to a gig is bog roll. Even these days it is shocking the number of venues you play at where this simple item is missing. There is always a squashed flat roll in my gig bag and i've lost count on the number of people who have been saved with that secret stash.

Mark Dyer Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 An iPod full of tunes in case the venue has no decent sound system or music, we can then play stuff through the PA between sets. Occasionally I take along a laptop and DJ between sets if asked, beats sitting in the venue getting drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURPOLARIS Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 [quote name='dand666' timestamp='1395320999' post='2401043'] We always take our camper-van to most of our gigs, so a lot of food/booze/magazines e.t.c Mostly we always try and make an event out of our gigs, as most of our weddings are on Saturday evenings, we drive up the night before, party in the local town, then head to the gig the next day. Then sleep over. Makes the weekend awesome. [/quote] I like this approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
