I don't see anything in Awesomemod that conflicts with getting band gigs but something in the game must be wrong cause I've had bands in two different cities for some time and they are very well known celebrities and perform often (on their own, not being requested) but they have never gotten any requests to play for money.
Could you add something that would increase the chances of receiving gigs?
This is EA screw up and I believe Pescado has it on his "to fix" list when he deals with critical problems.
