Re: what to do when the band gets a bit stagnant?
There are some great suggestions here. Our band just broke up after 8 months. Thats certainly one way to keep things fresh ! We practiced 3 hours solid per week and we were starting to gig out about twice a month.
I go to a jam a couple times per month and it draws an audience and thats way more fun in many ways but less rewarding in other ways as you never really polish up a song let alone a string of them. But I'm always learning something new there.
In this town its tough to find "normal people" to play let alone those who want to do something besides the usual classic rock and blues. Thats all most bars want to book and most restaurants just want solos and duos.
Its tough work finding band mates.
Here goes (again).
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
