Scenester Casualty or Rock Star?

Well, what's it going to be? Are you plugging along, trying to make things easier for others? Make someone else's dream a reality? Are you playing the game, as the industry, or your local scene, dictates it to you? Or even worse, are you just thinking about your next small club gig and what the free drink limit is?

OR

Are you in a constant state of developing new material and planning your next step? Are you looking at the next rung on the ladder out of mediocrity? Are you setting the next bigger and badder goal?

That my friends is the difference between being a scenester casualty and a bonafide Rock and Roll success story.

It really does come down to what you're willing to do to make your way. What you're willing to sacrifice and live without. What kind of effort you're willing to put in, and most importantly, how quickly and effectively you're able to launch your new materials. Launch quickly and launch often. Make people see your dedication. All the rehearsals in the world won't show people how much effort you're actually putting into your project. They only see the physical aspects of what you're doing.

Don't be afraid to take big steps. Take chances. It's only your future. Your success. What are you afraid of?
