| From the Where2sing.com forum: ROVICS: I just noticed your comment regarding off-key singers.. in Sydney, three venues have managed to get around this by building at atmosphere that ensures its a fun night regardless of the quality of singers. One venue did it by hosting with drag queens who run a bawdly line of patter in between and over the top of off-key singers. The second, with a charsmatic host who does the same thing, but in a nice way, and the third is an irish pub that stops letting people in at 10pm and goes thru to 2am and is naturally bawdly with a constant stream of singers with video clips in the middle to keep it pacing along.
Hence, try a line of bawdly patter, dodgy video clips and distorted, compressed 'band' sound - it seems to work really well for those venues much to the probable disgust of purists ;)
