Those are all good apart from the first one

not sure any of these are much different from any other show

vocals are good at the bar
What are you talking about? If the band isn't complete shit it's still better than a crappy PA system that only amplifies bass and drums.
I personally love house shows. I feel like they are more personal. I guess i just feel alienated at a bar full of cliques.

Lmao what? Have you ever been to a bar show? There are no cliques, theres just people there for the music. I mean sometimes people go with their friends but they aren't cliques.
count yourself lucky. If I lived in a place where emo/noise/drone/indie bands played in houses on the reg I'd be a happy ass dude

That fucking pleb singing into an sm57 tho
>>61051838
They're fine for vocals, especially at shitty cheap house shows like OP's pic. Also I'm pretty sure the 58 is the the exact same mic as the 57 but with a wind screen
How do I into house shows as a musician?

You've obviously never been to Providence, RI.

Where do you live? There are house shows all over the place if you know about them.

Well that just brings us full circle doesn't it?
It's how you get anywhere in the biz, really. You've got to be a really nasty ho who slobs some knobs just to get gigs or to get on a label.
