Live Bands Can Get The Party Started
From metropolis to village it is always the same. In every possible space, stuck on every wall and open area, there are posters and flyers drawing our attention to this weeks local music performances. Though the names on the flyers may change, the essential message never does: come support live local entertainment. These flyers request our presence at shows by live bands. They present the unique sounds of their cities.
In most cases, these flyers advertise performers who will appear at local clubs and venues. On a weeknight, maybe five different acts will set up at your local tavern. On a weekend there are usually fewer acts, but bigger names will take to the stage. In each instance, these musicians provide unique organic experiences. No live show is ever the same as any other.
Going to see a band at a nightclub, of course, is different than going to see a band at a party or hosted event. At a nightclub, the band cannot be assured of who will turn up and the relationship between performer and audience has to be negotiated effectively by the performers if everyone wants to have a good time. For parties and hosted events, however, this is not the case. The attendees are all invited and the crowd can be counted upon. This makes for a more relaxed atmosphere.
Going to see a live show is always different than a DJ experience. While DJs can pump up a crowd and get everybody dancing, the experience is usually more self-centered. DJs only provide an audio experience, rarely is there anything to look at. Dancers only have themselves to see and sometimes this can make for insecurity. With actual performers however, the best bands actually put on a show, they provide a focus for our attention, and because they are on stage, we in the audience can dance along without feeling so self-conscious.
DJs can get people excited by playing the latest pop hits, but this actually makes the DJ experience an interchangeable one. The hit songs in one part of the country are usually the same as the hit songs in another so there is very little actual individuality in most DJ sets. Moreover, it is rare for a DJ to have extensive tracks by local artists. If you want an act that can more accurately reflect the sounds and tastes of your city, local bands are the way to go.
For variety of musical tastes, a live ensemble is also a good choice. Many bands can play in a number of different styles whether it be rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country and western, or some other particular type of music.
For parties, bands are great because they tap into something essential to human consciousness. Making music as a group is a primal activity left over from our earliest ancestors. When bands play and create music on the spot, it can move people in a special organic form.
In short, live bands can bring unique qualities to any party. They can make any event memorable.
