I'm in a very shitting band with a good friend of mine. I write the music, she does the words, I play guitar, she plays keyboards.
We only have like four or five songs written and have been asked to play multiple house shows, material unseen. Music is fuzzpop, lyrics are shit that she came up with. Drum Machine, Keyboard, Guitar, and Female Vocals.
What the fuck do I do?
have fun and don't fuck up

I made the same mistake op, she was shit at instruments but I thought I could get her to sing over my shoegaze guitar songs....
Am 20 times better off literally doing everything myself,,, bands are overrated
>>65900046
Let me guess, shes the type who tells all your friends "were in a band" before you guys can even write one song
I'm playing my 5th show monday and my band still only has 12 minutes of material across like 6 songs
every single show we've played has been at least 50% touring acts

Kek.
This is the state of the underground.
I'm playing my 12th show in two weeks. My band has been together in this incarnation since September. We have an hour and a half across 12 songs. Half an album recorded, and people are starting to notice us.
Too bad we are breaking up after this last show. In less than a year more drama has taken place than I ever wanted to deal with. I just wanted to play bass.

at least let those 12 songs leak somewhere, grow a cult following, and then come back in 12 years on a reunion tour playing entirely new material, only to end the tour by playing your most popular song from back in the day, and sign off forever, leaving unofficial circulations of your live shows to be bootlegged until your myth is so large that nobody can trace it back to the origin.

nobody likes long sets and I can assure you I'm playing better shows with my 12 minutes than whatever pay-to-play garbage you've been overstaying your welcome on
>>65901168
i like long sets if its a band i already like

If this were actually the case, I think I wouldn't be upset that we're breaking up. It honestly feels like you've lost a loved one.
Real shame.
Also, we do about 30 to 45 minutes usually. We just happen to have an hour and a half of originals, and maybe 20 minutes of covers.
And I'd never play a show where I had to sell the tickets. That's the venue's job.
My friends up north used to have to deal with that shit. All the scammer promoters were run out of the state though.
>>65900993
I like you.
>>65901297
you sound like a shitty dadband
>>65901369
if you heard noise while reading that you may be experiencing synesthesia
>>65901369
Because we fucking are. The singer is great, but her taste has inhibited a lot of things. She also is dramatic as fuck.
Shitty dadbands are the scene in this metropolitan area.
After I get ~7 songs written (including covers) how do I get that first show? Especially as an electronic musician. I have zero knowledge of PA systems, amps, etc.
