It varies, with LSDJ it's usually 2 or 3 nights of actual work, but I usually know when to end the song when I start running out of phrases...

So if you're the touring band that comes in, you'll get the exposure by playing with the band with the big draw...AND the $$$? I think it should be like 60/40 with the 60 being the touring band. Otherwise, the local band with the big draw has no reason to play out other than to entertain the fans they already have so there's no progression for them.

i understand the logic to what you're saying, but in my experience of setting up shows that hasn't been the case. but i think it depends on what we mean by "local band with a big draw". there's a big difference between a local band that can draw 50 people and a local band that can draw 250 people. with the show's i've done, i've dealt with more of the former. if we're talking about the latter, then i think your point is totally valid.

I ran into this a bit with my primary band.  We started drawing very well locally, and every promoter in town wanted us to bring in a crowd for whatever random touring act they were trying to bring in.  We actually stopped doing shows like that because they were taking advantage of us. 

We have absolutely no problem throwing the lions share to a touring act, but nowadays we're very specific about who we play with, and its almost always bands we're friends with.  Just another incentive to make friends I guess big_smile

Theres a couple people who get a little pissy when I play chiptunes in the car, and theres one friend who "just doesn't get that gameboy shit" but whatever.  It doesn't happen too often anymore, most people who know what I do know that I do it very well, regardless of what it is.  Back it up with awesome composition and the haters will just look like idiots.
