When hiring a live band, there are many considerations such as venue and type of occasion to take into account. With so many tribute bands for hire, making the right choice is important to avoid disappointment. Some of the factors that need to be considered in making this decision are budget, venue and experience of the band.
Some of these groups pay a great deal of attention to their appearance, wearing costumes, appropriate hairstyles and even copying hand gestures and other mannerisms of the original artists. Others focus more on the music more than the outward trappings, capturing its essence. Many times the instruments used are just like the original ones so as to recreate the distinctive sounds.
When looking online for such a band, it is possible to listen to demo tracks. One can soon tell if they capture the essence of sound and feel of the original group. One must bear in mind that these demos are recorded in studio and the live sound may be a little different. It is also possible to see images and even view videos of live performances, showing exactly what they look like and how they move.
One of the most important considerations is the venue. A number of groups are able to adapt to the size of a venue. They have a smaller number of members who perform in an intimate venue and are able to scale up with more members, instruments and lighting for bigger venues. A larger band needs a stage and a fairly large space to sound its best.
Budget is always an important consideration and here again, a band may be able to adapt what is provided to suit a particular budget. Some of the more well known groups obviously charge more as they have the experience of having played for years for many different types of clients. The size of the band and the length of time they play also affects the price.
Some of the groups use professionally recorded backing tracks. This helps them to create a full sound and still be affordable. It also means they are more adaptable to smaller venues.
A band requires some time to set up and do sound checks in the venue and this must be taken into account when making a booking. They will usually also require a room with privacy and security where they can change and prepare for the performance. The length of performances is different from band to band. Sometimes they will do two sets of 30 minutes, taking a break in the middle or they will play solidly for a full hour.
When you make your booking, you need to allow for time for the band to set up at the venue and to do a sound check. They will need somewhere private and secure where they can change, leave their instrument cases and prepare for their show. Many of them perform for about an hour but time they play can also be specified.
