How big is/are your band(s)?

4 - IME that's plenty enough people to organise, and mix at the desk.

[Earbrass]

3 musicians and a drummer. Chr*st, I hope she never reads this!

[yorick]

Five plus the ipod.................

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

there are four of us so we're called[b] obviously 5 believers[/b]

[tauzero]

I play guitar either solo (occasionally) or in an acoustic duo with Mrs Zero.

The covers band has three members plus the drummer's wife who plays keyboards on about 20% of the songs.

The ceilidh band is normally a 4-piece plus caller (so I've classed it as 4) but has been as big as six plus caller when we got our reserve guitarist and a cello player in too.

[acidbass]

Mine is currently an 8 piece, although we've had it as large as 9 and as small as 6 over the last couple of years.

It's great fun being in a bigger band, so many more sonic dimensions (although that's to be expected when you include mandolin and concertina!)

[beerdragon]

Four musicians and a singer.

[The Funk]

[quote name='lateralus462' post='281889' date='Sep 11 2008, 02:35 PM']it's quite tricky at times with the Keys and bass occupying the same sort of frequency range - I think I might just chop his left hand off - that should solve the problem.[/quote]

Nah, just stick some porn mags on his music stand

You play in a Madness tribute band? Jebus! That wasn't expected!
P

[Matty]

4 of us.
We basically work as a power trio.
Then add another member who adds waily vocals and funky dancing.
though we can survive as a 3 piece too.

[Ou7shined]

3 bands, all 5 piece. (not counting a new ska collaboration with Neepheid (I'm on guitar) which sounds like it might be a 5'er too)
I really want to be in a 3 piece though.

[dougal]

Death Metal: Five (2xguitards, bass, drums & vocals)
Hair Metal: Six (2 guitards, bass, keys, drums, vocals)

I've got my first orchestra rehearsal on the 19th: but I didn't mark it down as it hasn't happened yet.

[xzodar]

I play sax in a 14 piece. (6 Horns, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Percussion, Keys and 3 vocalists).

For my sins I also organise the band. I tell you, It's like trying to herd cats!!

[quote name='TheRev' post='281860' date='Sep 11 2008, 02:05 PM']I've almost always been in three piece bands - there's just something about the chemistry you get. Plus, it's easier to organise rehearsals.[/quote]
Absolutely. 3 in the new experimental krautrock affair. We have just discovered the joys of a [url="http://www.monsterstudios.co.uk/default.asp"]decent rehearsal studio[/url] with decent backline too.
