Secret Menu - PRESHOW RITUALS

In this Preshow Rituals segment, the alternative rock band, Secret Menu, reveals what they do before taking the stage. You can check out the rituals below:

Raf
Hey everyone Raf here! I am the lead singer and bass player of Secret Menu. One of my pre-show rituals is to take 1-2 minutes before the show starts and to be by myself. I’ll find an empty room, hallway, or sneak outside, and center myself, take a few deep breaths, and remind myself to have fun. I find that this helps quell any nerves and allows me to set my intention for the show.

Matt
Hey, Matt here! Whenever I can, I like to be out in the crowd before a show to chat with people and listen to any artists going on before us. Hearing other artists perform, especially new ones, always inspires me and makes me super excited that I get to perform. Before our set, I make sure to tune up my guitar, run through some riffs, and click through all my keyboard sounds (which run off of a laptop) to make sure everything is working. After stocking up on some water and a quick huddle with the band, I’m ready to hit the stage.

Andrew
Hey I’m Andrew the guitarist from Secret Menu, and before heading out to a gig I’ll watch a funny Youtube video or comedy TV show to put myself in a light mood and laugh off some of the stress.

Evan
Hey, it's Evan from Secret menu, and before a show I’m usually pretty stressed from setup and soundcheck. To help me relax I make sure to eat food, try to get away from the stage for a bit, and most importantly I do some stretches to loosen up my arms and hands.
