BANDS
The PE examines projects by various bands...the music world is saturated with sameness today, so what can make a band stand out? As a musician myself I have thought of this alot. I have a few theories.....
First, if you are in a band to make music because you want to, you've already made it! Congratulations! No fan accumulation, or lack therof can take it away from you.
Second, if there is a desire for stardom, it will conflict with the first principle inevitably. How does this work then.....
Third, As with anything , talent (product) is the mitigating factor.
The first principle is not predicated on this. But the second, in conjunction with the first, is. In other words.... If you want to be a big band in the land you better be really,really good. Not just think your'e good and destined for marquee.....but be talented and dedicated to a higher level than anyone around you. How do you know if you are? Ask people who know. Not your groups of fans and friends, but those who REALLY know! Find them...they're out there. This might save people alot of frustration and/or give them proper direction.

If you truly want to "make it" with a band, you have to have DRIVE and DETERMINATION. You could be a skunky garage band and still make it big as long as you work hard and show up for practice with a postive outlook. Take for example the band Nickelback... they fuckin suck and that guy has a horrible voice but they've worked hard and kissed a lot of corporate ass and play by the rules, which in turn have made them the success you hear today on your local radio station.
