Make sure your music is brilliant and you can play with a candle.
People are not stupid so no matter how many lights you have if the music is rubbish then you are rubbish.

I been practicing playing Vdrums, keys and bass guitar into live by myself for a while now. Keeping the sound evolving and interesting is hard. Keeping everything tight as hell is even harder. I'm running all audio and starting with a blank template so everything heard is seen when being produced as well. As I said, it's hard but I hope I can bring something a little different to the stage.
I was even thinking of wearing one of those suits that the scientists in E.T. wore and covering my gear on stage. When I start my set, maybe I will unvail the keys and start playing a pad, then whip the cover off the bass and do a line on it so the gear setup sort of grows visually with the sound.
If you've ever seen Stop Making Sense, you know the sort of effect, but I'd do it all in the same track.

you people must play at some small venues?

get a lava lamp? throw peanuts at the crowd? no offence but damn

is this in your friends living room

and a few people mention dj's just standing there.. well they may play the greatest tunes and have great skills but djs who stand there and dont interact with the crowd in some way (other than wedding dj's), be it mark eg (techno dj) breaking records on his head and setting them on fire to tiesto smiling and waving at the crowd while nodding his head.. are pretty much a non-exsitance
