Backstage rituals 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago
Im surprised theres been no posts here... Backstage is alot more than a place to wait for the stage and score chicks.lol. its a place of preparation , both physically and mentally. I remember being on tour with my father(Cat Coore , Third World) , they would pray backstage before EVERY show, and joke and laugh.. even as a kid i knew that was heavy.
When me and my band mates are back stage , we like to tell jokes and laugh, to get into a positive spirit. We also like to vibe in an acoustic situation. Vocalists like to warm up before stage. Damian likes to sing in the dressing room to warm his voice up . When on tour with U2, Bono would steam his voice backstage before every show..The point is, this is a place of serious preparation. Ive seen cats get in a bad place mentally before a gig and then mess the whole show up...So next time your backstage or side stage ,remember to prep your brain and body before you play. What ever that might be.LOL

Yo wah gwaan my music family. . Im gonna share some more backstage info. After you've prepped your mind and body, take a few things into consideration, backstage can be a great networking hub, whether it be a small club or big festival. I have noticed however, at the big festivals, you have alot of company reps who have been invited by their artists. To come hang out, bring new gear and most importantly (to me)bring their family and enjoy the sound of the gods, Music. Anyway, Who are these representatives? you may ask. EVERYBODY you want to know. Fender, korg, MusicMan, Akai etc. These people are very important to the industry, and musicians are important to them, because the great musicians take the products around the world in a real time advertisment. Encouraging consumers to buy and setting the trend of 'what is' the industry standard of the time, which seems to change overnight these days .grasp this concept of scratch my back, i scratch yours between companys and musicains. Dont forget to practice so companys even get interested, it all comes back to you.
There is also knowledge galore backstage, if yu think yu bad, there is ussually always somone backstage who is 'nastier' than you you should say hi to, in jamica we say hail up, or pay respects. This all boils down to meeting people and knowing the players backstage, Not the groupies , WAKE UP!! The real players are the company reps, great musicans, press, and different people who can make your music career much brighter. ok. so jah love to all, maximium respec to all mi musical youths! Please send a message. And share your backstage rituals and tips.
