In L.A. -> insist on being paid for shows. Sooner or later the band is going to get tired of being stuck in the garage.
Or you might print business cards... a sure killer of whoever is the contact on the card.
If you're a solo act it will cause you to move and change your phone number within 6 weeks.

Most likely, they disappear after breaking up.

Call yourself an eclectic in a loud rock act and state that even the light can be seen in a synth pop act.
Now that is sacraligious.
But hair metal, as fun as it was, began being like the pussy assed pop bands they accused the soft acts of being.
Posing and coming across like AWA wrestlers and brought on the alt scene in doing so.
And the ones called pussy assed pop were the ones that seemed to be the hardest working.
A mean guitar does'nt mean non-compromising.
Even though I like guitar rock.

One sure way is to call a band rehearsal. It worked fine for us many times.
Another way is to take a booking and forget to tell anyone. That usually works.
My favourite is to go professional. Give it a week and you have at least two members leaving.

I am a new guy my name is Rick ... here is how I find myself here! Hi Mike Dunbar ... while researching my old LPs I happened to find you here. The LP is REDHEAD and it is on Legend records... seems it is signed by Elisabeth Chesley to jane Norris Pryor and william james Kovanda. When I find old privately pressed records like this I like to learn more about the people who created them! Is the rest of the band still around? There is no date on the LP... when was it released? P.S. I am listening to it now and it really is quite good. (they recognize the wagon of the medicine show). Nice vocals. Thanks Rick Whitehurst http://bakullama.com

Hi Rick,
Amazing, I didn't know there were any of those still floating around. We released it in 1976. Legend Records was owned by Bob Gibson (google him sometime, quite an incredible character) and Ray Tate, director of the Old Town School of Folk Music. Betsy Redhed and I were the lead singers.
"The Medicine Show" from that album, is a song of mine, written as a teenager. WLS radio played that version in rotation for a while. WGN radio used to play that and "Lady Be Good." WFMT radio's Midnight Special, played the whole album.
The mandolin on "Lady Be Good" and "Corinna, Corinna" is played by the late, great Jethro Burns, of Homer and Jethro.
Betsy Redhed is still singing in the Chicago area, Norm Siegel is putting together a Steve Goodman tribute show, Rich Clark moved back to Portland, Oregon and dissappeared, Kevin Dooley's mom and dad found me at a fair in Indianapolis and said he's still playing drums. Mike Smith played some guitar on that album, he wrote "Crazy Mary" recorded by David Alan Coe and "The Dutchman" which is on that album and was also recorded by Steve Goodman.
When we had the record release party at the Earl of Old Town, Steve Goodman came in and played telecaster with us, he rocked all night.
Ray Tate moved to Texas where he taught high school, and I understand now he's in Europe. Lee Cupp who sang on "Bad Girls" retired from piloting 727's and is now residing in Carbondale, Illinois. That, if I recall correctly, is everyone. We had a good time with that band, got named "Best Country Band" by the Chicago Scene the year that album came out.
I don't know Elisabeth Chesley, Jane Norris Pryor, or William James Kovanda.
Myself, I'm no longer a Redhead, I'm more of a white-fringed head.
Again, thanks for writing and welcome to JPF, great place here.
Mike
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Wow thats a lot of info ...Thanks. You can have the LP if you need one for old times sake. I am getting some whiteheads as well. Sad about the guy disappearing in Oregon... i was just through Oregon and saw a bunch of homeless folks there.... I'll keep it short, my wifes calling me for dinner. David allen Coe and Jethro burns are big names. It's a really good LP. Thanks Mike Rick http://bakullama.com

I'm sorry If I hi-jacked this thread... did not mean to!
One sure way to break up a band is to spend too much time together... Better just to play the music together only... then go home to family.

Tell your bandmate that you're not gonna play HIS songs anymore, just your own.
