Get used to it mate, part of the territory of being in a band believe it or not, people don't wanna watch the same band four times a month.

But don't let that put you off playing four times a month, get all that experience playing to different crowds.

Even thats too much mate especially if you're a young up and coming band, if i was to go and watch you i probably wouldn't again for a good few months just to see how you are coming along.

It takes a good solid established band or at least a band with established musicians involved to pull people to a gig once/twice a month eg. Echo Empire, MBE, Haunted by Humans, Senses, The Bellows, King Hermit, Trailer, Pint Shot Riot, Shackletons etc.

Shit attitude to have, make people aware of your band without forcing it down their throats, if you're good enough those people will follow you.
If you're not good enough then work on it before getting a shit name for yourself by gigging everywhere with a half arsed product.

Posting on a forum/facebook/myspace isnt enough, people forget the power of word of mouth these days. I simply mentioned to a few people that I work with that I was in a band, when interest was shown I gave out a few demo's, a month later we did a gig at Hope and Anchor and there was an absolute army of people from my office there, now we don't play a gig without a good few people from my workplace being there and I'm always being asked when/where we're playing next.

Also mate don't expect too much interest when you're posting info about your bands gigs on another bands forum.

I wasnt on about anyone here when I said I wasn't bothered at least yous guys tell me you aint going some of my mates say they're going but just dont turn up and they're the ones I dont care about but like Dale said being in a band I've gotta expect that

how did this go?

it went great thanks except for my guitar cutting out on the last song but apart from that it was ace here's the videos:
