Group Monogomy

[Nino Valenti]

I've noticed there's a lot of threads written about playing in "this" band or "that" band. Should I stay or should I go? I've never had that issue, and I'm happy to say I've had a very happy and loving polyamourous relationship with The Nerve! for over 8 years now.

I think that playing with other bands has helped me to grow in leaps and bounds in so many different ways - from learning different styles, playing with different drummers, playing with people better than me, stage experience - I could go on and on. The Nerve! is my #1 band and all other groups I've ever played with know it. That's only been a problem once or twice and I left the groups that didn't like it. Other than that I've never experienced any problems. When gigs come up it's first come first serve and I stick to it. I've been in up to 4 other bands - currently playing with 3 outside my baby.

Change "The Nerve" for "Theorem" and "8 years" for "10 years" and that's me.

Currently, I'm only playing with Theorem, though.

i would die if i had to stay with just one band!

if one got big, i guess i would have to leave the others, but it would be really weird only having one band.

I've been with El Pus for a little over 7 years now. I've been in up to 6 bands at once. That nearly burned me out.

I'm in three at the moment. I like to play lots of different types of music; doing only one type of thing day in day out would be way too boring.
