A Live Live Band Will Make Such A Difference!
If you are organizing a party and you want it to be truly a special and memorable one, you must consider the idea of hiring a live band.
A live band would rather impress your guests and instantaneously change the atmosphere of your party. It will help in recreating the mood that you want in your get-together.
If you have never had to go through the process of hiring the right live band, then this is something that you may want to approach with caution. You want to make sure that you are hiring the right people otherwise; you could be facing a lot of disappointment.
The first thing that you should think about when you want to hire a live band is how you are going to find the people in your own area. In many cases, the Internet is going to be your best friend.
MySpace and Facebook are great places to find local bands.
Another option would be a person that you know. Maybe they have done this before and invited a live band to play at a party and he or she can recommend someone that can make your get together truly fantastic.
More often, it is preferred to search or look for someone residing within your area. You may consider taking a quick peak at the people within or near your town or city.
They should have no problem providing you with a demo CD or a DVD of a live performance.
There should also be a list of songs that they can show you which will give you an idea of what type of songs your guests would be listening to.
You want to make sure that you are really familiar with their work and you can do this right from the comfort of your own home.
When you have your list of the short listed bands, call them up. See who responds quicker and behaves more professionally to you. It might be your chosen final one.
Since you are spending a decent amount of money, you should be treated with respect and the live band should be professional with you at all times.
How long do they take to get back you you? Are the speaking in a professional manner with you? All these things are important aspects which you need to take a note of. Speak to them and make sure they are clear on your budget and the things that you would be providing.
If the band has to travel a good distance to make it to your event, there may be an additional charge that you should be aware of.
After you have picked the right live band for your party, make sure that you are scheduling everything that needs to be scheduled. This would include their arrival time and any preparations they may need to make.
If you and the live band are communicating well, there should be no problems.

How can a band put me on a list so I can take live photography for them?
A famous band is coming to town, and I’m a photographer. I contacted the band asking them if they could put me on the guest list so I could do live photography. A band member replied and told me he doesn’t know how to handle the guest list situation. How does this work? Should I contact the venue to be put on the guest list as a photography, or does the band have to?
If you were a “photographer” then you would know how this works. You can not just make a phone call / send an email and ask for permission to the photo pit, it just does not work like that.
I agree with FotoZ, you need to take the hint.. The band member was saying (quite nicely in fact)
“I can not be bothered to explain it, I have numerous emails a day like this, speak to somebody else”.
People who have access to shoot events like this are established photographers who work for known publications and will have been issued press passes. I can not help but shake the feeling that you are somebody who has just bought a Nikon D40 and 55-200mm lens and thinks they can shoot a concert.
I’ll say it again.. If you were a photographer, you would know how this works..
