Need advice on this, currently unemployed but i really need a job, however i don't know how i would balance the two seeing as ill be playing out alot more in 2011, im not really in the position to be picky on what job i can have but don't want to get fired for taking time off to play gigs..

intrested in how some of you guys do it

Get a part time job (anywhere) working afternoons. 12-6 or something. Say you have other commitments that mean you cant work evenings or mornings.

yeah, just be prepared to be tired and feel like a zombie a lot. Best bet is to try and get a job where you defo wont be working weekends. That way youll always have sat/sun day time to be horizontal. and (probably) only the occasional weekday to feel like a mong.

You could always try get agency work instead of 'proper' work; that way you have no commitment; they'll ring u one day and say do you want to work tomorrow, and you can choose!

part time work just doesn't bring in enough cash for me to even live properly in London, so If i was playing out twice a week I would still want a 9-5 office job or something.
