We're generally quite rubbish at bringing our own gear, and indeed at bringing tribes of fans - we're generally happy to show up, soundcheck in half a song, play for as long as they want us to and then enjoy the rest of the evening. We don't get paid terribly often. We always get a better reaction playing outside of London but London's where we are, and there's always some fun to be had so we chug on, really.
I know just what you mean about frontmen like that - a bass-playing ex of mine was beginning to be unsure whether it was worth being in a particular band, when they played a gig where the frontman kept doing the 'come on, are you dancing' thing. My ex played the entire gig facing away from the audience in shame and left very shortly afterwards. You can't go round telling people to like you, they either do or don't.
