I've been in this band for about 5 or 6 years now and we've been doing shows spuratically - a mix of covers from the 90's and our own original stuff. For the past 2 years we've been playing every three months or so for this little place near my house with a tiny stage that barely contains the group of 4 with our amps and insturments but the place is always busy and the people are always awesome. Last weekend we recieved a $100 tip, and ran out of things to play because the house kept asking for 'one more song' lol. As an introvert this whole thing is terrifying for me, my heart rate usually is in the 120's before we even get on stage, but I've never not had fun. So this is me saying get out of your comfort zone, make some mistakes, play in front of an audience, even if it's your 3 or 4 best mates. You may inspire, you may prespire, but you'll be better, and have fun!
