So here's my idea:
I want to have a band that is two bands. I don't want absolute control of behavior, I just want rules. But only important rules. The only rules worth making are the ones that make more money for everyone who works.
Band 1: Secret Identity
Top40, Rock40 event band-- weddings, pr, conventions, bars and bats, confirmations, corporate parties, etc.
Required pieces: Lead Singer, Lead Guitar, Bass, Rhythm Guitar/Keys, Drums.
Optional with rehearsal: Horns, Backing Singers.
Matching suits, shiny instruments, polished sound-- ninja deadly.
Band 2: Superheros
Originals only.
No official appearances.
Same members, unleashed from the work songs.
Guerrilla performances: roll up with PA and stage (rent flatbed, or borrow?), rock and bail.
No charge for performances, merch and recordings sold at shows will be what they are.
Secret Identity becomes dayjob if events roll in, and Superheros becomes the payoff, and the main reason to keep rehearsing.
Needs:
PA,
Members.
3 hours of memorized music, arranged
proper management skills
prewritten ironclad contracts for events.
licensing documents and fees paid for performance for profit.
