1- Use 3 female vocalist in right corner of stage and use "solfege" in middle of some songs. Note that they must wear "Short skirts".
 
2- Set a great "Circle" on top of the Stage and show "Tom and jerry" with "pilot cabin" sound on it. ( use over dub technique)
 
3- Light one cigarette with "Laser" light.( Try this with "Slow Motion" . This is difficult in live concert
 and you must have good training before do this. You can consult Gabriel .)
 
4- Show your childhood pictures on "Circle" . If you have crying picturers 100% use it.
 
5- Cover some PF and specially " Genesis" songs. ( You can consult "Unifaun" band to cover Genesis). OPTION: Copy collins voice specially in SHARP mood.
6- Tell guitar and bass player to "headbang" in instromental parts.( likeRawks)
7- Dont forget "sunglasses" with "Smile" like Cool
 
OH . sorry. very long and "Boring" writing!!! Please forgive me to waste your time. it is very enjoyable!!

Our music would probably catch the attention of you guys here on prog archives but not so much here around the "Christian Deathcore" scene

Way before PF did that, people were listening to the music and Echoes and Atom Heart Mother did fine, thank you ... and in many ways, those shows were a LOT better than the later ones with DSOTM and TW ... which had way too many "fans" and the audience was not respectfull and nice as the earlier shows were.
 
In some ways the staging was cool, but in the end ... it stunk, and it even got Roger mad because people were fightingfor pieces of the pig ... and you can hear this on a couple of bootlegs, and it is, more than anything, a true testament to what is wrong in the music/concert business.
 
I say, that if your music doesn't stand up to the "silence", then you are not an innovator and the audience is going to sleep on you, and there is not much that you can do to improve that. The other chance/idea is ... a bit further out, but if you are just doing "songs" ... the whole thing is a mute discussion, since there is no span of time to help folks meet the music inside you!
 
There is no such thing as "boring music" ... and if that is what you call it, you have already made a point that you are not happy with your music and your presentation of it. Sad ... you are not even giving yourself a chance and already you don't like it. How do you expect anyone else to like it?
 
May I suggest some serious soul searching as to what your band wants to do with the music first and then you can talk to a madman that would love to put it on a stage with you! But it gets harder when all you have is 10 songs and they are the same thing and theme. In the end, it's about the music and who you are ... not the songs! And you make the music showcase you guys!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

You know I am not into Classical Music, but boring, not really. I like to listen to the different instruments and pick out individual parts. Some of those lines can be used to make a wicked solo on a different instrument
Classical Music calms & refreshes the instrument. I don't know much about Indian Classical Music but as I love listening soft, sad & instumental music I never felt bored. Whereas the other music has words, feelings & most important dance in it, so people prefer to listen then & entertaining.

Now me being the drummer I have a lot as it is just being excited and lie head butting cymbals and standing up and kicking over my stool and sh*t so If you know any it would be more centric towards the bassist and guitarist and singer. Thanks guys


This sort of thing makes me ashamed to be living in Florida, really.

Take heart my friend. Cougar Town more than makes up for it. Wink

Hire an abstractist painter, make him paint quick sketches on stage (following the rhythm of the music) and when the song reaches its climax, he destroys furiously his works with an hammer
 
wouldn't that be brilliant?

Construct a wall between the stage and the audience so that the band members are hidden behind it. I think you can make a lot of money if you did that. Trust me no one has done that before...
 
If not perhaps you could all wear makeup and glammy costumes, and take on persoans such as oh.... say, a cat, a demon, a spaceman and a starchild, you could become millionaires if you did that.... how bout that for originality.

I think even Daevid is going to laugh at that one! And I'm pretty sure that Gilly is going to send you a stack of bananas for your birthday!

How about all the standing musicians who can roam around the stage do silly walks a la Python?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
