'HOW TO BUILD A BAND' I, RAR, have spent a lifetime trying and failing to achieve my fondest dream, which is to establish and maintain a really great band. For some reason I have had trouble finding a large group of supremely talented musicians who want nothing more than to unselfishly lay their personal interests aside so that I may fully satisfy my personal obsession with.well, me.
You know, the man and his music. (You wonder why this hasn’t worked?) Still, I’m a mere lad, not 54 for another month yet, so figure I have a lot of time left to achieve my sincere, heartfelt, potentially world-shaking dream. To this end, I recently contacted my dear friend Gary Swan to ask how he goes about putting together his bands. Gary has been a professional musician his entire life, has played with top players forever, and for the last four has been Music Director (MD) for the Pointer Sisters.
Here is Gary ’s advice, written in his email short-hand: 1. The Golden Rule is “He who has the gig rules.” 2. “The bottom line is money and somebody is paying somewhere.” 3. “Get your charts done on your songs and horn parts” – I told Gary I need horns, you know, like more cowbell – “so when you go out of town you can pick up horns locally.” 4.

With Bonnie Pointer and Mary Wells and lots of other acts I MD for I send tapes to the local players with charts and arrive three days early and practice the band and the star for the most part will only make about a thirty minute sound check.” 5.
“If you are going to get on the track you must go as fast as everyone else, meaning look pro. Have CD'S & Charts.” 6. “KNOW your songs.
The band is there to go over the music and your performances should remain flawless, no mistakes. So practice while you wait.” 7. “Sell CDS at gig to cover the cost.”. And before trying to become Chris Daniels & the Kings, Gary suggested this: “Go book small gigs anywhere or create a gig at a coffee shop or bar. Perhaps host a jam session.
