I'm a relative nubie to playing these gigs but we were requested to come in a play more upbeat and energetic music. We put together a 2 man show with my mate and I playing guitar/voice (him) and an electronic drum kit (me). We used a small (300W) PA and played lots of up tempo stuff from the 60's and 70's with prerecorded backing tracks to fill in bass and other instruments depending on the song. We kept the volume in the medium/low range and got feedback from the audience (usually around 40-60 people) throughout. There were a few folks who found it a little too much, not their cup of tea but the majority seemed to really enjoy it, some danced & sang along. We were invited back twice so I'd class it as a success so far. Anyone else had any experiences with more up tempo stuff?
