  music being played. Fans love seeing their
  favorite musicians up close. The performance from

  all that the live bands convey. The musicians
  also enjoy and feed off of interaction with their
  fans. Fans and musicians making a great turnout
  for each other.

  live bands is a social activity preferred by
  many. We all live busy lives and hardly get out
  to socialize with others. Live Bands offer a
  great deal of social interaction and can help
  with the strengthening of social skills. The
  environment bursting of fans is a great source of
  social interaction. Letting fans enjoy the
  experience and performance together. The
  musicians also enjoy the social interaction. They
  crave the response of enjoyment from their fans

Questions to Ask Before Hiring Party Bands

• Ask them about their style of music. Something
  very loud like rock music may not be suitable for
  some gatherings. Therefore, you should ask it
  before finalizing your decision.
• Ask them if they are comfortable playing songs
  that you select. You may want your band to play
  your favorite pop hit, but not all of them will
  be in a position to play it right. Therefore, you
  should inquire it before you let them play on
  your special day.
• Ask them about the number of musicians they have
  in their band. You should also ask how many of
  them will play on your special day. This will
  also help you get an idea if the band you have
  selected will be able to perform in the space you
  have available on the stage. A good idea is to
  hire a portion of a great band to save some money
  in the process.
• Ask them if they need any special lighting or
  effects to perform or they will arrange
  everything on their own. Knowing it in advance
  will prevent misunderstandings. You may want to
  hire party bands that know how to create an
  atmosphere with fog machines and other special
  equipment. Just bear in mind that the bands that
  offer more than the tunes are going to charge a
  lot. Therefore, you may want to consider your
  budget constrains when hiring them.
• Ask them for how long they will be playing at
  your party. They may have different packages, but
  you should pay special attention to the number of
  hours. Here, you should also ask how many breaks
  to expect. Good bands will have backup plans when
  they take short breaks. So, be sure to learn
  about this aspect before you decide to hire a
  specific band.

Learn How to Hire the Best Live Bands for Your
Event

• Check their style first. Never hire a band until
  you have confirmed that their style will suit
  your party or event. Some live bands just cannot
  create the vibe you may be interested in, and
  that is why you should avoid making a hasty
  decision here. You may not want to opt for a band
  that is more of a "rock-and-roll" type of band if
  you are hosting an elegant cocktail party. When
  people want to enjoy casual conversations,
  something that is very loud will serve as an
  annoyance. Therefore, you should be very careful
  about this aspect and ensure that you select a
  right live band as per the nature of your event.
• Watch them perform at other events. Another good
  way to ensure that you have hired the best band
  is to go see them perform at another event. Even
  when you have friends who can vouch for a band,
  watching them perform live is still the best
  thing to do. This way, you will get to know how
  they handle everything in the real world. You can
  also tell how engaging their performances are,
  and this may help you decide whether to opt for
  that band or not.
• Consider hiring a live band that may have already
  performed in the venue you have selected. Live
  bands with little knowledge about your reception
  space may find it difficult to manage everything
  on your special day. With knowledge about your
  reception space, a live band will have a better
  idea about the power, acoustic, and amplification
  requirements for that space. Depending on your
  venue, your musicians may require an extension
  cord, generators, and other supplies too.
  Therefore, it is a good idea to hire someone who
  knows what it takes to give a perfect performance
  in your selected reception space.

6 Steps for Hiring a Party Band

• Pick a genre
• Party bands come in all shapes and sizes. The
  first step in hiring a party band is picking a
  band that will play the type of music you would
  like. Many party bands specialize in a type of
  music or theme. There are rock bands,
  decade-themed bands, cover bands, kids bands and
  a variety of other specialties. It is good to be
  clear on what type of music you would like at
  your party before looking for a good party band.
• Research
• Party bands are more accessible than people
  think. Researching a party band could be done on
  the internet. Many party bands have websites, and
  videos to advertise their services. Even with the
  internet, the best way to research a band is
  through word of mouth. Ask a friend that was
  recently married or threw a party. They may know
  some great party bands and can help you get in
  contact with the party band.
• Check their references
• Once you have a party band that you think is a
  good fit check their references. Ask people that
  may have used the party band before. These people
  can give an honest opinion. If you dont know
  anyone, ask the party band if they have any
  references they can provide.
• Some good questions to ask the references would
  be if the band showed up on time? Did they play
  throughout the whole set? Were they accommodating
  to the crowd? How were they?

6 Steps for Hiring a Party Band

• Audition
• Party bands are not made equally. It is important
  to audition the party band. The best way is to
  ask the band if you can check out their next
  performance. This is good because you can see the
  party band in action. If the band does not have a
  performance for you to watch you can ask them to
  play something for you. You want to make sure
  that the party band sound matches the sound you
  would like for your party.
• Hire the Party Band
• If the bands sound matches what you are looking
  for it is time for the contract. It is good to
  make sure that both you and the party band are on
  the same page about expectation and payments.
  When hiring the band it is good to know what time
  they will come to set up, will they require
  additional equipment and when are they expecting
  payment. These are just a few of the things that
  should be gone over before the day of the event.
• Party
• You went through all this work now you deserve to
  party. Let the party band do its job and keep you
  dancing all night. If they do a great job be sure
  to let everyone know how great the party band did
  so they can get more gigs.

The Best Live Bands of All Time

• The Who
• Live bands have a lot to owe to the who for
  creating some of the most iconic moves that rock
  bands still use to this day. Smashing guitars?
  The Who did it first. Explosions on stage? Once
  again, The Who. Swinging the mic by its cord?
  You guessed it, The Who. Aside from them
  shattering conventions of the time and being
  revolutionary, The Who rocked the stage hard.
  They played louder and harder than any band
  during their run
• Pink Floyd
• Live bands in the 70s and 80s could not compete
  with Pink Floyd for one huge reason, and it
  wasnt their music. One of the greatest parts of
  going to a live Pink Floyd concert were the
  visuals. Various props and lighting techniques
  combined with original and immersive backdrops
  made every Pink Floyd concert an experience.
  Concert goers were experiencing more than just
  the bands unique sounds, they were transported on
  a journey with the band.

The Best Live Bands of All Time

• Led Zeppelin
• Live bands can sometimes have a bit of tension
  between the members and still put on a great
  show. Case in point Jimmy Page and Robert
  Plant. Though these two were constantly
  bickering behind the curtains, they shared a
  mutual love of music and never let their fans
  down at a show. Led Zeppelin packed arenas with
  tens and hundreds of thousands of people and
  amazed them all with the grandiosity of their
  music. Never very flashy, but the pure talent of
  this band made for a rockin good show every
  time.
• Queen
• Live bands can sometimes be enthralling not
  because of the band, but because of just one of
  the musicians. This was very much the case for
  Queen. Brian May is almost certainly regarded as
  one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time,
  though not for his stage presence. When Queen
  was on the stage, the spotlight was usually on
  one man, vocalist Freddie Mercury. His vocal
  performances were mind blowing and monumental.
  Every song was him giving it all and crowds
  always ate it up. Mercury was a natural showman
  and one best rock band front men of all time.
