    Compiling a history of the "punk jump"

    I'd like to compile a history of "punk jumps" -- i.e. when musicians (typically rock, often punk) on stage jump during the performance of a song. Sometimes it's coordinated so that multiple musicians jump at a predetermined point in the song; other times it's a one-person affair. I'm focusing...

    On the Death of Music: A Dissertation

    This has been the busiest year in musical performance since I started doing this professionally, back around 2004. I was walking down the street last Sunday and passed two backyard shows - one featured a mariachi band, and the other, a reggae band - and a block party which had a brass band...

    Where do YOU like to stand on stage and why?

    I prefer to stand on stage right (to the right of the drummer) on stage because, I feel, I get a better perspective view of the whole band for visual cues. It's also more natural for me to have my head positioned towards the neck of my bass (RH player). I've noticed that a many British or...

    Short Scale Journey Didn't Last Long

    Whats your favorite live performance?

    Sorry if this thread has been well-trodden but I just have to know what other people think. Personally mine would have to be Santana’s Woodstock performance of Soul Sacrifice, I cannot listen to it enough times. How about you?

Or do you play in a restaurant / bar setting, either for a negotiated, set price, or for the cover/door charge or some portion?
