how do we start???

Question

me and my best friend Catherine and best guy friend Christain are starting a band. How do we start? and how do we know what buy and get known?

Answer 1

You need equiptment. Amps, PA, guitars, bass, drums, etc. Dont buy the biggest stuff you can find. When I started my first band, I went out and bought a half stack. What a mess. I had to lug that around to shows. Go buy a nice little fender combo or mesa combo if you can afford it.

Check out local clubs. If you are new, you will need to record a demo. Get a used 4 track with digital out. Good luck.

Answer 2

First of all you should all know what you are contributing to the music, who plays what instrument, who sings, who writes if you don;t all write together. You should come up with a band name, because it boosts your morale. Figure out your influences as well, although that won;t be much of an issue because It seems that bands are better when left to create their own sound. Ham a little bit, work on some songs, maybe try to master a couple of covers, and then try to book your first gig. A gig can be booked anywhere, be it a party or a bar or a resteraunt or a club. Get yourselves out there and have fun
