On social media there’s a thing where performers post pictures of where they are performing and caption it “My Office Today.” What cracks me up is once you are performing long enough you tend to know how often people are actually working and in what kind of venue they are normally working.
I’m not sure why people who barely do shows feel compelled to post the one event they do a year in a cool place and try to make it feel like that’s what they do every week. I have a buddy who opens for a fairly big name music act and he rarely posts these, and he’s in cool theaters every week.
I think it comes down to hype, they want people to think they are working. There’s nothing wrong with only doing a few gigs a year and there’s nothing wrong with posting pictures of cool places. However I think there is something wrong with people trying to play it off like that’s the type of venue they frequently perform at.
If someone only posts pics of cool venues in December, that means they don’t do them very often.
TLDR: Be better than the hype!
