Long live the weekend warrior kick ass rock and roll hobby players.

Let's make a big Cellar band. Any style is good. We could have a yearly gig/BBQ/beer bash.

I am envious of UT and sm -- it'd be nice to have regular paying gigs. I'm not sure why our band hasn't connected yet. I know the style of music hinders us as far as widespread acceptance, and we lack the firebreathing frontman that would get us noticed in wider metal circles, but we always get props for our shows.

I wish I could soak in the awesomeness OR get paid. I rarely get to do either -- too worried about not screwing up. How do you regularly performing musicians overcome the technical aspect of playing, clear your minds and just kick ass onstage?
