Your performance will never be too good. So rehearse like it's your job, because it is.

Start getting out there and meeting other "baby bands" in your genre and network. This business is ALL ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW.

That will lead to gigs. Offer to partner with other bands and go to promoters with a package bill and guarantee that you'll bring "x" number of people to the venue. Make it your goal to grow your email database / fanbase by "x" number of kids a month.

Will also lead to good producers / engineers who are willing to work with you - sometimes on spec deals if they really believe in your project...

Let's face it - this is a BUSINESS. Everyone wants to make a buck off of you. While it's rooted in the artistic vision, unfortunately this is ultimately a capitalist society.

Your job is to have the goods musically and get out there and find your people.

If you just get together, don't rush anything.
Practice together and see eachothers strengths/weaknesses.
Do some cover songs and when your ready you can perform some gigs, ask around, but right now I would focus on practicing as a band.

You guys need to practice alittle more before you record. Practicing will tighten everything up. Get in synch with each other than worry about gigs and recording.
