This is probably one of our best threads for discussing the kind of issues that come up, or should be anticipated, by any aspiring band.

Things really get out of balance, in my opinion, when one member fronts all the money and provides all the managerial functions. And more bands implode because of that.

In any bands there are major players and passengers. It is wise to recognize all.

I urge new forming bands to read this thread carefully, and be as generous to current and former band members as is possible. In reality there is very little pie to quibble over.

Cheerily,
