Just curious. With only one day of advanced notice, my wife's band got asked to fill in for an out-of-town band that couldn't make it to a Friday show in Minneapolis. This was her band's first gig, and due to construction at their practice space, they hadn't played together in a month. It was her first time on stage (except for karaoke and a state fair thing years ago), the bassist's first live gig ever, and the guitarist's first time playing live in an original band. Although it's not exactly my style of music - sort of "Zombie"-era Cranberries is the best comparison I can make - I went to the show and was quite impressed. Of course they thought they sucked, but as first gigs go, most bands would have felt ecstatic with the results.
Their drummer recorded my band's first demo back in 2003, and the guitarist plays in cover bands. His playing puts mine to shame, and he was probably holding back! (He hates his Line 6 head though.)
