You don’t have to answer all the questions BUT please answer THE LAST question.
You can be as specific or general as you would like. If you would like to provide your answers anonymously please state this and I will not divulge any identifying particulars.
Please include a contact email address in case you are chosen to be interviewed further.
Tell me about yourself, your band?
Thank you.
How did your current members come together? (How did you meet? How long have you known each other?)
How many member changes in this band have you had?
How many other bands has each person been involved in? (How many are you involved in currently?)
Do you do things together outside of playing music?
Do you have regular (non-rehearsal) band meetings? (Having drinks before a gig doesn’t count.)
Do all members have outlined responsibilities? (shared equally or paid a percentage)
What is the ultimate goal for the band?
Do you also have immediate monthly and yearly goals?
Does every member have the same vision for the band?
What is the most difficult aspect of being in the biz?
How do you handle creative disagreements?
How do you handle the varying personalities?
When you are performing and you know the band is “off” what is typically the cause?
What have you found to be the key to your success?
What have you learned through your failures?
What would you say to a group just starting out?
++ Any last words? ++
The BIG question I’d love answered is…
How do you balance your day job, relationships, and your music?
If used in blogs or on the web I’ll link your website or myspace page —so remember to include contact info!
