Just Landed an 8 Hour Gig...

Any tips for keeping in shape for that long? Up until now the longest I've played for is 3-4 hours. Any advice is appreciated.

ask Howells. Seems like all he does is drink a shit ton and party down.

dear god

how much are they paying you?

good meal of fish + veggies + rice before the gig.

Energy Drinks ( little or modest drinking)

Little or modest amounts of alcohol.

Cigs, if you smoke...

Oh, don't forget ironic haircut, scarf and a Jesus pose at the end...

And sunglasses. Big plastic sunglasses.

Not sure about "keeping in shape", but make sure you've got a lot of music, a fair amount of variety (there's only so many times you can play Pjanoo and only so long people will put up with Deadmau5-a-likes)

Also make sure you've got a good idea of the kind of thing the crowd are gonna be into... 8 hours with an empty dancefloor, telling people you haven't got any r'n'b when the promoter told you trance would be fine won't be fun.
