So I've just joined a band with a bassist I know who were originally an acoustic duo going electric. One plays rhythm and sings, other plays lead. After a few weeks of practicing we've got our first gig this weekend. The lead singer still plays acoustic guitar, the lead player plays electric with clean/distortion. We've learnt a few of their songs and a couple of covers and we're all set for our first gig.
On the 1st December we have another gig lined up. This one being a more "acoustic" gig. Me and the bassist have been discussing tonight if it's worth playing this one or letting the other two take it and we can run merchandise and socialize with the crowd. It just seems like the easier option.
So would you take the acoustic gig and just adapt the drums/bass or sit this one out and mingle/sell the CD's?
