I've posted this link in the FLUTTR EFFECT forums; I'm sure the band can benefit from the extensive list of handy tips.

(Although Kara took her shirt off during a set in a sweltering basement in Easthampton a few months back and nobody seemed to mind much...)

I have seen some of these ... madmansanger August 21 2005, 23:23:04 UTC
Guess my years in music tell their tale 'cause I have had first hand experiences that are similar to some of the situations mentioned ... here's one good tip form such experiences:

Never let your lead singer get so drunk while performing that he starts spitting and shouting insulting obscenities at the audience ...

If this happens, first of all you will probably need to carry a mic stand in on hand and swing it like a hatchet in the air around you to defend yourself in order to make it out the door when you leave ... and second you will probably never be asked back to perform at that venue no matter how good you were before your lead singer got obnoxiously drunk.
