I watching a video about how to get gigs and it recommended "sub contracting" out through an agent to get your first gigs.
The idea being that they music agency would take on untried acts and "train" them to do bigger gigs.
I've got a couple of issues with this for bands who are just starting out trying to get gigs.
1. Most music agencies won't touch you if you haven't gigged before
2. Why would you want to surrender a % of your gig fee to someone who will never care as much about your music as you do?
OK so a music agency can in theory take away a little of the effort involved when you're trying to learn how to get gigs. But I don't know why anyone would chose turning up at venues they've never heard of just because some middleman or woman tells them too.
Not when you can be master of your own destiny - and gig fee.
