Hi, I am from "Dead City Radio" and we are looking for shows in vic. Now i know if we had anything recorded that it would help out quite a bit, but we don't. Is there anyway to get a few good gigs without a demo??? - Wed, 29 Dec 2004 6:30pm

I'll give praise to these dudes. They opened for us in Duncan the other night and fucking rocked! Got a heavy side of STP vibe goin on. Bonus points for nailing the Axl Rose/Scott Weiland dance. Here's a pic of them from the show. - Thu, 30 Dec 2004 8:22am

We would, but we don't have enough money personally to have one done, we are going to be getting one done in about a months time. But the fact that bars won't really give you a blind chance, just trying to get around that - Thu, 6 Jan 2005 5:23pm

you don't have a tape recorder?
or a computer with a mic.
if you guys can convey that you can play together as a group, and sound good.. venues will have you play.

you can get a demo finished and ready to go for less than 50 dollars. easy. - Thu, 6 Jan 2005 10:15pm

a demo isn't a studio record.
it used to be four kids in a basement with a tape deck and 5 radio shack microphones and a rented/stolen mixer.

but now, it's 3 kids with an idea of what sound they want, with pro tools, multi-tracking with two studio condensers they rented for 20 dollars.

bars want to hear something good, not something with a high bit rate. - Sun, 16 Jan 2005 1:02am
