Unless something pops up for next weekend, the Bar Pilots will wrap up its first year as a band. Since last October, Rob has informed me that we've played 24 shows to 3000 attendees. The drum chair has transitioned through three drummers, which meant that we covered the same ground each time we got a new drummer up to speed, so the two of us got further along in the maturation of our songs and our sound. We've made a lot of fans so far, but the thing that perplexes us is the fact that most bars don't do the least to promote their live music. We put our own custom posters up in their establishments, we e-blast and facebook our friends; from a fanbase of over 1,000 people. But sadly, most bars don't even post a calendar, or have a website, or at the very least, update their facebook page. All the action on their facebook page comes from us announcing our shows. Yet they expect you to fill the place for them. So we play and have fun and entertain our faithful fans who come out. That's the satisfaction we take into the Christmas season, thankful that we've been blessed with some talent, some showmanship, some good equipment and lots of love from our friends. We love you all right back! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Bar Pilots. Here's to an even better year in 2012. Comments03/23/2012 10:26am
