How to get invited to perform gigs on The Sims 3 Late Night?

Posted on November 24th, 2011 by admin

When I first got late night October 2010, I created a band but never got gigs.

Then i thought they fixed this bug a while ago but I played yesterday and created a band and still no gigs.

What do I have to do?

steps 1-8

1. Have 4 sims have a level 5 in each drums, guitar, bass, and piano. (i now it works with 2 you can try.)
2. Have them become best friends and have their celebrity points get up to 3 stars.
3. Have someone ask the other 3 to join his/her band.
4. Register them as self employed
5. keep practicing.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
6. ONLY ONE SIM will get a cell call for the gig not all 4! when your phone rings answer it and it will say something about your band name.
7. Read carefully about what the opportunity.
8. lets say the gig is from 5pm – 9pm, the person that got the gig, when he/she can go to place of the gig complete the gig, go there and the whole band will go there.
Hope this helped got it from another person :P

How can my band find some gigs?

Posted on November 21st, 2011 by admin

We’re teenagers in the San Francisco / San Jose (California) Area if that helps.

Any tips for finding gigs?

My boyfriend has his own band, so in the past 4 years, I’ve learned from his experiences.

Contact any of your local venues. Ask if they have an local shows or battle of the bands that you can participate in. They likely will.

Befriend other bands – many of them have experience and can probably give a helping hand in terms of landing gigs. Plus, if you support them and come out to their shows, then they’ll come to your gigs and support you! :)

If you guys are still in school, you can try arranging some type of talent show in your school and have your band play. You can even print of fliers and whatnot to have people come and support you. The more people who know about you, the more likely it is that someone will reach out to you and offer you a gig of some sort.

But in general, branch out and connect with as many people as you can. Good luck!

How to get gigs for your band?

Posted on November 15th, 2011 by admin

Just wondering if anybody knew a good website/websites to get your band promoted around the uk. We believe that our band is quite good, but are looking for more gigs around the uk to get noticed more and maybe even a record label!

heres our facebook site incase you wanted a listen, http://www.facebook.com/thevirtuesaberdeen

cheers.

Try micro jobs sites. You can have people pay through the site and it advertises you to many people with their wallets ready. Most micro jobs sites only allow the exchange of small amounts of money but Micro Jobs Online lets you pass over up to $500 per job.

How Would A Young Band Go About Booking Gigs?

Posted on November 12th, 2011 by admin

I’m in a Toronto band whose age range is 16-20. We’ve perfected our set and are looking for gigs but I have almost no idea of what to do. We have a website and songs. And I’ve found the person to contact for bookings but I don’t know what to ask them?

Can anyone give me examples of what to say in an email or phone call?

Hi there,

Here’s a post which gives you an idea on what to say to venues

How do I know how much Gigs of music I have on my computer?

Posted on November 1st, 2011 by admin

I have a Toshiba. I just got it this summer and I am using Windows 7. I have 4,974 tracks in my library and that is 350 hours.

my question is where on my computer would it tell me how much that is?

If your music are scattered over several folders on drive C, and you want to list them all in one window, open Windows Explorer. Click on drive C. Search for .MP3. Once all MP3 files are listed, press Ctrl+A to highligh and select all in the list. Press Alt+Enter and see how many they are and the total size occupied.

You will probably do a separate search for WMA also because some of your music may be in WMA format.
