Surprise Booking Help!
I just got a call that in one week I will be playing the same venue two nights in a row. It is a college bar and the first night is a beer pong night and the second night is just a general club night! I typically play electro/techno/house at this bar and it goes over well. Any tips for any of you who have played things like beer pong nights or two nights in a row at the same bar?
dont really have much in advice, but if you seem to know the crowd over there, then just keep doing what you do, and as always with a diverse college crowd, just be ready to switch the vibe as needed on a moments notice. Good luck
Cheers mate! Thanks!
What is this “beer pong” you speak of ?
Beer Pong
Here’s my tip : Don’t play the same set twice.
Ah… right.
Yeah I DJ’d for the local Universitys Male and Female Rugby teams weekly night out for some time.
They got absolutely plastered (girls and boys). The lads all wanted to hear electro (basic chart stuff), the girls wanted pop.
Usually ended up with most of the fellas naked (why to rugby players get naked so much) and playing drinking games till they puked.
The girls would dance and try to look feminine (as feminine as a women rugby player can) to impress the lads who were in no fit state anyway.
It was actually quite good fun.
I’m not Avicii so no worries! Haha
Dope! Well drunk patrons are dancing patrons I suppose! Hahah
drunk college kids equals requests. be prepared. be chill as fuck with everyone and have fun man. don’t stress it
Not gonna lie I am pretty concerned about that. Any tips?
If you don’t got it, you don’t got it. If they suggest “play it off youtube/my phone” say “It’s not that easy” and mystify them with DJ bullshit.
I do have the ability to make anything I do to sound really complex.
I like that answer…simple, quick and to the point, and doesnt leave much of an opening for them to continue on the conversation
