Hey my question is simply what the post says. I was thinkin age maybe experience or influences kinda new at this part so let me know for some ideas.
what kind of things would you put about your band if you made a flyer for a gig

You'll need some kind of eye catching artwork.

i was king of homemade flyers!
All the bands playing(in order of timeslot-is cool)
21+ / all ages
gig date
club/bar name
club address/ directions
door price
groozy artwork back drop/porn or dead bodies (if your metal)
i all so liked putin in "hype" stuff like "free parking"(if their is)
or x beers on tap, or example- "come grind in the pit" titles.
Sometimes differant color paper is good to use. You much catch peoples eyes, or they dont look at the flyer.
And most important-PASS THEM OUT EVERYWHERE!

Always remember that a banner or a flyer must be a "shout". Try not to overload with tons of info (general info like detuned said is ok) and put some emphasis on most important things like the name of the band, date, etc. using bigger fonts or different styles

Ah, yes, and always remember to have in mind your "target audience" to know what kind of artwork to put on.

Less is More.
I'm a graphic designer, so I'll chip in my $.02 worth.
A person needs to be able to look at your flyer for two seconds and get it. That's the bottom line.
Make it easy to read. Make it interesting to look at. Don't fill it up with text - especially useless things like influences and experience. Instead, give the reader the main idea with the fewest words possible, and then give them a way to learn more if they want: your website! (you do have a website, don't you?)
The biggest words should be your band name (or logo), the place, and the date. Everything else should be smaller. And don't use some stupid weird font. Make it EASY to read.
A person should be able to ride by the local telephone poll on their bike, or on the bus, and see your flyer pinned on it and get it.
Of course, all those cool, psychadelic hand-bills from the '60's are the exact opposite of everything I just said, so what the heck.
