I encourage you to get high before you perform so you can loosen up.
Muscle and Marrow just put out an album and she has severe stage fright as I recall

not necessarily high, I've found that in general I play/perform a LOT worse when high. however, a couple beers works very nicely. not too many, because then you start playing like shit despite being very confident. but with 3 or less, you're all good nerves wise and your playing isn't hampered at all
Make music but don't tour. You won't make jack shit but you'll build up a discography in time, maybe a niche following. If you're good--and lucky--you can go die alone, penniless and diseased, then a decade or so later BAM a neo-/mu/tant posts a link to your old recordings and you finally become mildly recognized.
Godspeed anon, godspeed.

It's shitty and I hate it. I'm not even that well established/doing it very long and I'm already annoyed with it.
