Hi folks. First ever post.


I've been making dubstep(ish) electronic music at home for about a year now. Before this
I played in rock/punk type bands for years- that's where a lot of my understanding of the live scene starts and ends!


I'm just wondering abou this-

So I make a music, and decide I want to perform live somehow. Where do you start?! Jowl
Do most folk get into actual performing and gigs? I live in glasgow.

Suppose this is a pretty noob question but I genuinely have no idea about glasgow a
"Scene" or venues etc, or how you get onto it.
I don't suppose this is specific to glasgow, I'm also wondering in a general sense how people go from
Making music at home- to getting out there.


Sinky.

Where to start on this forum - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=167366

Not many dubstep artists perform 'live' (as opposed to DJ sets) but it is done sometimes, such as Mala's Cuba live shows, and I think Author do live stuff but I'm not sure exactly how they do it - there are no rules as to what defines 'live' electronic music, and some people would even see that term as an oxymoron.

Don't know much about the scene in Glasgow but there's bound to be something. Here's the North UK events board, but as you can see it's not very active: http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewforum.php?f=33
