Unique Los Angeles 80s bands know how to fit in the music genres they are required to play by their hosts. That means they are versatile. When it comes to dressing for gigs, they pull out dynamic outfits without diverting attention from the real thing that brought then on stage becoming the joke of the year. It is good to be creative but trying too hard is pathetic.
 
Do not look at someone trying to harass you:
Some fans like to mess up performances. If this happens, do not turn back. Keep on singing playing your violin. If you give attention to some nuisance, the crowd will notice hence spoil the performance. But if you keep giving your best, nobody will notice the annoying guy trying to poke you. If you make any mistakes, keep mum and nobody will know except you.
 
It is unprofessional to wear your own merchandize:
A plain shirt will be more elegant rather than trying to market your stuff. Wearing your own merch projects pride. It shows that you are bragging and not concerned about the band except yourself. Just leave it to where it should be and not for the band.
 
Don’t holler into a microphone:
It doesn’t matter what your aim is; don’t even think about it. You would annoy so many people if you ever do it.
 
No onstage jokes:
You are a singer and not a comedian. Your anecdotes might sound fake and embarrass you. Stick to what comes naturally and avoid blabbing. 80s band Los Angeles are hired to perform popular songs and not to narrate their adventures in the county.
 
Don’t take over other member’s part:
You must understand your role perfectly. Chipping in some stuff because you are excited is very unprofessional. You are supposed to stick with hat you have been rehearsing to avoid confusion and conflicts. Adding some flighty notes makes you loo immature in front of your fellow members.

Stop wasting people’s time with prep work:

Successful musicians arrive at the event in advance so that they can set up the gear and check the sound system. Doing this in the due time of performance is downright rude. The audience hates to wait for musicians checking the drum set for half an hour. In fact people might start leaving the occasion before you begin. Such a habit portrays a disorganized band. Not unless unavoidable circumstances arrive, a band should always be ready and have back-up instruments in case of failure.
 
If you are a member of Los Angeles’ 80s cover band use this information as the stage performance etiquette guide.
