Awesome! Welcome to the road NB!

I remember my very first gig well. It was a biker party in Redwood City CA, back in October of 1982. I was 16, and had been playing bass for only three months. The band was setup in a little room right in the middle of a house, and I had to stand out in the hallway to play. We did pretty good considering how green we all were!

And I still have the tape from my second gig which was done November of 1982 at a high school in San Jose CA during lunchtime. My cousin was going to the school at the time, and he brought his boombox to record it. We were all terribly nervous, and we tanked. I remember afterward thinking "man, I'm not sure if this is for me." But then about a month later we did our third gig at a nearby junior high school during lunch, and we actually got mobbed! I even have the tape from that show as well! And if that wasn't enough, Linda my Honey came with all of us when we did that show, and she remembers it well. We still laugh about it now! Laughing

We are a cover band, this show we did Paramore, Saosin and new found glory songs. (They are not my style Rolling Eyes )

But we had a critics say to us to do more French songs. And next gig we'll have 4 or 5 french songs. afro

Edit: we are not a ''true band'' we are more like a troop. There are dancers, percussionist( blue man group like but they arent blue and theyre just 15 years old affraid ) and us.

So we do a variaty show.!

Actually, that sounds really cool! I love groups that show creativity, and do more than just something "normal". Any chance we'll see some video of you guys soon, NB?

i dont remember my first gig ... at all. its just a big blank.

thus prefering to get paid in cash and the ocasional flash of boobies and not alcohol. we dont always get cash. sometimes we dont remember the gig ... depending on the boobies!

"oh my goodness! put those things away!"

congrats on the successful gig.

wow...first gig..since I was playing in a practice space to an audience long before we ever got to the "bars" I guess the first REAL gig was a outdoor show in July4th weekend in 1986 in one of our city parks with like 15 other bands all day, and we had a 30 minute spot. no money, no boobies, no weed or alcohol, just hot as hell outdoor 80 something degrees playing out of my PLUSH 1060 2x15's and my LYLE SG looking bass.

heres a pic of me practicing singing in my room using that junk LYLE bass in Aug 2008 just for fun a couple days before I sold it.
( the novelty of "still" owning my first bass finally wore off ) Razz

well..it was junk that I made out of a guitar body and bass neck/2 saddle bridge...lol

guitar pickups/short scale dumpster bass neck that never fit right....and it still plays 25 years later rusty strings and all:

here is one of the final jams on it before it was sold from 6 months ago:
