The Care and Feeding of Your Band

Sure, we rehearse, we practice (there’s a difference!), we craft setlists, and we gig…but what do you do to take care of your band as a unit? Paul asks Dave this pointed question and launches your two favorite weekend warriors into a discussion which digs deep into what it takes to make a band.

Dave had some interesting “friction points” at his gig on Saturday night, and shares a few of them here with everyone, and Paul talks about the success of his 100%-of-the-door gig, too, asking yet another pointed question, this time of all of you.

Listen, press play, email feedback@giggabpodast.com with your answers, and yes, always be performing!
