That is why I am a fan of bands playing less often but putting on a bigger better performance when they do.
Exactly what I was saying at rehearsal last night. We Neverwhores work so hard and create these huge shows, but only once every couple of years for CD launches. Gigs after that are just gigs. We need to stop doing gigs of no real value to ourselves and the scene, and do 4 big gigs a year instead of these countless small bitchgigs. Do it right and do it large EVERYTIME or don't bother.
See? This topic is benefitting the local scene already. There will be less of US.
