FIGO ROCKS THE FESTIVALS
What is the most important attribute a young band can have? Chops? Nope. Great Songs? Nope. Good looks? Sorry.
The most important quality a new group can have is the ability to network.
Figo, Tedstock allums, and good friends of mine are having a great summer playing festivals around the country. They played Lollapalooza in Chicago a few weeks back, and are playing the Amsterjam festival at Randall's Island here in NYC this weekend.
How did Figo achieve this success.
Work. Working rooms, parties, events, anything.
DJ-ing parties and events has been a huge factor. Unable to play on a stage at Coachella, Figo shows up to DJ some after parties. This, in turn, leads to connections, and gigs.
I will be at Randall's Island this saturday, and so will Tom Petty.
How cool is that?
