Hey everyone! Very quick backstory, I (19M) started my band in 2023 and in those past three years, I‘ve only managed to pull together four gigs (hard to find gigs when your band is a revolving door of broke early 20-something’s) and only one of them was at an actual venue. In short, my band has close to zero recognition in my city’s local music scene, and I really want to make up for lost time, especially with how big some of the other local bands are getting now.

The problem is is that I‘ve heard a ton of conflicting advice on what do to gigging-wise. For years I‘ve watched videos and been told by my musician mentors about how a lot of really successful bands used to play gigs every other night and working their asses off to make a name for themselves in their early days (Beatles, Rush, Ramones, Metallica, etc). However, I’ve also heard newer musicians online say that you should prioritize only 1-2 gigs a month and market the hell of that one show so as to not oversaturate the market. So currently I’m at a bit of a crossroads: my gut tells me it’s better to do a shit ton of shows, follow in the footsteps of successful rockstars, and make up for lost time; but I wonder how much truth there is to the 1-2 gigs a night method, and that my lack of experience here might fuck me over by doing the opposite.

Any thoughts? Currently the band is solid and rebuilding itself so we’re headed for playing gigs relatively soon.

Hey everyone! My band Blood Rising is looking to get back in action with a drummer to complete our lineup. We're a young (late teens-early twenties) group based in the Seattle Eastside area. We have a couple of gigs and a ton original music under our belt, and our focus is to ramp that up even more. Our sound mixes hard rock, heavy metal, groove metal, and sprinklings if early punk (influenced by QOTSA, Pantera, Metallica, CKY, Black Sabbath).

We have a practice space with a drum kit. If interested, please contact us, and I can send some demos of our current songs.

Hello there! A lot of the other subreddits I tried had weird mod rules and such, so I kinda ended up here. I (19M) have been told by multiple people for years that I should take up male modeling and I have a pretty decent portfolio, however so many of the modeling agencies/job opportunities, especially around my area, list a height requirement of 6’0” and above. For context I’m 5’10”, so I’m not even really short but I’m just a bit under the minimum.

I already searched around on the internet to see if this was a dealbreaker and most answers gave me dumb watered-down AI responses that never gave me a solid answer. If my height is truly something that would be impossible in this field, I get it, but I want to get a more solid answer than undecided internet fluff. I’m fairly young and I’m just trying to figure out what I‘m going to make of myself, so any help is appreciated.

I know this is necessarily a photography question per se, but I hoping some model/photoshoot photographers might have some insider knowledge. Thanks!
