SO YESTERDAY I HELPED MY FRIEND MOVE SOME FURNITURE FOR A BAND'S PHOTO SHOOT. I THINK THEY ARE CALLED THE STEPS AND THEY WON SOME KIND OF DEAL FROM DELL COMPUTERS, WHICH INCLUDED COMPUTERS, PLAYING AT ACL, A MUSIC VIDEO, AND A PHOTO SHOOT. I CAN'T REALLY HATE ON THEM FOR WINNING A PRIZE, BUT DOES THIS BAND REALLY ENJOY THIS TYPE OF SHIT? DO THESE GUYS FEEL THAT THEY ARE MORE LEGIT AS A BAND BECAUSE OF THIS SHIT. I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WITH THEIR BAND AND HE WAS LIKE WHATEVER WE FEEL LIKE. HE WAS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PATTERN
1. PRACTICE
2. PLAY SHOWS
3. HOPE AND PRAY FOR EXPOSURE
4. PROMOTE
5. RECORD ALBUMS
6. TOUR
7. GET BURNT OUT AND THEN START A NEW BAND, HOPEFULLY PROGRESS SOMEWHAT MUSICALLY.
THEN IT OCCURED TO ME THAT PLAYING MUSIC AND PLAYING IN A BAND ARE 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. THE BALANCE IS WHAT I AM HOPING FOR, I THINK THAT WHEN I STARTED BROKE BEADS IT WAS ALL ABOUT BEING A BAND AND PLAYING SHOWS. NOW, ITS MORE ABOUT JUST PLAYING MUSIC AND SHARING IT WITH WHOEVER. SO, I THINK THAT WE BALANCE OURSELVES, BECAUSE I DO THINK ITS COOL TO BE IN A BAND, WHILE BECOMING BETTER MUSICALLY.
