BE NICE TO THE SOUND GUY.
Go very careful with drink, unless it works well when you're pissed.
Remember that most people in the room won't have seen you before, so they won't know that you're nervous. They also won't know it's your first gig.
DO NOT TELL THE AUDIENCE IT'S YOUR FIRST GIG. I hate it when bands do this.
If the audience do know it's your first gig, they're your mates. You've chatted shit to your mates. You've probably pissed next to them. You may even have had sex with some of them. So play instruments in front of them will be easy.
Try to relax, but don't try and have fun. Only ska-punk bands 'have' fun, and they're mostly shit.
