When the 90s indie rock band Pavement broke up, the front
man Stephen Malkmus took to the stage (at what turned out to be their final
show) in a pair of handcuffs proclaiming, “This is what it’s like to be in a
band!” Now not every musician has the
same capacity for jerk-bag behavior as Malkmus did, but chances are that on
some level we can all relate. Being in a
band can be tough. Not only can their be
logistical problems regarding people’s availability, but anytime you have
multiple brains, multiple egos and multiple delusions of grandeur, you’re bound
to run into problems. With the divorce
rate holding steady at around 50%, it’s no wonder that groups of three, four or
five have difficulties when two people who are having sex with each other can’t
even keep it together.
If you're forming a band, you want to be careful about how you find and choose people to
work with. As your band progresses, you
want to make sure that relations between band mates remain amicable and on the
same wavelength. To learn how to find
the right people to bring your songs to life, click the link below.
