Today we just got an offer to play a show with a band from out of town. We get at least a dozen of these a week, and it's really hard to decide what to do with them. It's so hard to decide who to play with, and it's so hard to tell what the bandmembers are like without going to the trouble of contacting them. (We'd have to have someone just for that if we wanted to write them all back)
It leads me to wonder. What makes a good band? What makes a band worth going to see? To me, it's a lot of things. Here's a list I made that makes me want to see a band:
• An awesome live show
• Great lights and sound
• a good, safe venue
• A reputation
• A warm-up band worth sitting through
Some of the reasons why I WON'T go see a band:
• Unimaginative music
• Excessive offensive language on-stage
• Yelling monkeys onstage during the performance
Have thoughts about it? Post in the community forum below. We'd love to hear what you have to say.
