Be in a band that plays glam-rock
The best live acts in pubs tend to be those that play a set list that includes music that the audience grew up with.

My mate was in a band in the 90s that played glam-rock stuff, complete with makeup and wigs. Ten years on, he's in a different band that plays early 80s synth stuff. In both cases, they always got an encore.

blues and soul
classier audience required :)

edit: we've never not had an encore. that's not the point. the point is there's always somebody in the audience who doesn't understand what's going on. We've had people pointing at saxophones asking what they are, but they still danced and screamed when we played.

There are people out there that don't recognise a soosaphone when they see one?? How bizarre!
