Are you in a band?

As a comic, I will say that opening for bands is fun.

Especially when the already hammered crowd has no idea that a comic is going to proceed the music.

We have a recording studio that we practice in about twice a week. Right now, we're finishing up the mixing and mastering of our full length album, as well as writing new material. As for money, we don't get paid sh*t, all of our profits come from selling merch.

Yea I play bass in a band and occasionally sing backing vocals too, but I usually leave that part to people who can actually sing ><". We're from Israel and we play locally only, doing cover versions of Audioslave, RATM, Muse, RHCP songs - stuff like that. There's this band rehearsal place that you can play in as much as you like for $4.5 per month, per person. Since I live in a VERY small town with VERY few people and nothing to do except for smoking pot and hanging out, most kids pick up an instrument and start a band, so you're lucky if you can schedual a rehearsal ><"

I had to quit my band when I moved but I've got a few lines out there for some possible new ones. So at the moment no but chances are looking better.

I've been in a band for a couple of years and we get gigs all over Melbourne but I am yet to make a dime as well... probably because we suck.

I don't mind not making money. I used to try and sell music as a career but I realised soon that when money gets involved creativity drops.
