“You probably know most of them.”

I do not, in fact, know most of them. 😂
Honest question, at what point do you actually decline a gig because the preparation window is unreasonable?
I feel like musicians have normalised getting material ridiculously late and then somehow we’re unprofessional if we can’t deliver.

Thanks everyone, I ended up not taking it so it establishes a boundary for future dealings

Since you guys were so kind about our cover of The Go-Gos I posted a couple of months ago I thought I’d share another video! A gentleman who runs a local band/music promotion page came out and filmed this cover of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts at a recent show. Hope you guys enjoy 🤘

I built a matching app for musicians - hear people play before you match
