Don't Let It Get You Down


Every musician, successful or not, has played a bad show at some point and more likely than not, will play another one sometime in the near future. I’m not talking about gigs when you and/or your bandmates get too drunk or not drunk enough. Sometimes it can be completely out of your control and someone else has booked you a bad or inappropriate venue, or maybe you booked yourself the gig out of ignorance or lack of options. However it winds up happening, nobody likes looking out on a crowd of disinterested oddballs who resent you for being loud and trying to make them pay a cover to get into their favorite bar. But the thing you should remember is, that you never know who might be out there among the sea of disgruntled patrons and might be discretely enjoying the show.
