Brave Combo Beginnings
Tim Walsh's gig by gig diary of the first four years of Brave Combo.
I tried to keep a record of each show we did, how much money we were paid, and how much I kept after expenses in parentheses.
It's interesting to note how quickly the band started once we began booking gigs. It was full throttle building over the course of the summer of 1979; by the time the summer ended, three of us (Carl, Dave, and I) had decided to keep Brave Combo as our only means of employment. At an average $120 split four ways per wedding, one can see how little it took for us to get by in the old days of Denton!
