Hey, my new band Game-21 is going to be playing at a little place called Rock City Studios, and we're opening for up these two other pop punk bands.
Do you guys have any tips for being successful as the opening act?
Thanks.

make sure your drummer doesn't bail on you 2 hours before.

Re: Tips for being the opening band
Um... it's not hard. Play your music as best you can. You can only be as good as your music is. Make them interested in you. Get them pumped for the other bands. That's all an opening act is there to do... get the crowd pumped for the acts that matter.
but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.
So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,
I'm just not ready to leave my room.

Don't talk to much, just blow them away with your music.
