Sick/Sea – TOUR TIPS

This new set of Tour Tips comes from the band, Sick/Sea. You can check out the tips after the break.

1. Keep track of your contacts.
It’s something we wish we had been doing from the beginning because you are going to meet SO many people on tour. After a while, it’s hard to remember where you met this or that person and it’s a potential friendship or future show that’s lost. Make a list.

2. Be humble and socialize.
It’ll make yours and everyone else’s experience with your band richer and more enjoyable. Not many people like talking to douche bags.

3. Save your money.
Most bands don’t have rich parents so if you’re like the rest of us, you need to start saving any money your band makes from the beginning if you ever want to record, get shirts made, or tour.

4. Keep open communication within the band.
It’s important to verbalize when something is bothering you, especially on the road because if you bottle up your emotions, you’re gonna explode and make a bad experience for everyone else. You’ve got to talk things out and make compromises.

5. All work, no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Work VERY hard but also have a lot of fun because not many people get to tour!
