Imagine a scenario. You are at a party, and only a few people are dancing. The music is generic pop music that is being played just about everywhere right now. The people who are dancing are doing so rather awkwardly, as the music wasn’t really meant for dancing to. Other people are just sitting around and doing nothing or chatting dully. No one is that excited about the music, as it is what they have been hearing everywhere else. It is generic – it is not a private party band.
Flash to another scenario: you are dancing, smiling, and feel full of energy. The music behind you is vibrant, loud, and real. Real voices are coming out of microphones instead of synthesized beats, and real instruments are playing only about twenty feet away. You are enjoying the rhythm and sound of a live band, in an intimate setting.
Live bands can be fun for many functions, including birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, and weddings. They are full of energy, so they may just energize the guests as well. Live music comes from people who live for the music, who love what they do, and people can enjoy feeling the love and excitement emanating from the band members. Live dance music can just be more fun than recorded music.
While lots of people like pop songs, sometimes they just get old. When you go to a bunch of parties and every single one plays the same songs, it may get irritating. However, with a band you can never have the same exact experience at different parties. Even if they play the same exact songs that a DJ would have played, they give it their own special touch. Thus even if you hear the same exact song at two different parties, if one party features a band the song will not REALLY be the same.
However, with live bands you can hear either original music or new renditions of the classics. Some bands may also offer a mixture of both. Also, with a live band you can get more creative with the type of music played at your wedding or function. When people see a DJ, they often request classic dance songs that everyone has danced to before. However, with a live band they can play swing music and no one will request a rock song, for instance.
Because these bands feature live people, they can interact with guests in a good way. DJs tend to keep the ball rolling, while live bands are out there with the people. They may have some audience participation.
It is also good to choose a band because it is a group rather than one person that you are supporting. Some bands have a dream of gaining popularity all over the world, and by hiring them you can fuel that dream.
Thus, live bands are a great choice for private functions. They are not appropriate for every occasion, as they may be somewhat costly. But if you want energy, uniqueness, interaction, and vibrancy, you may want to consider hiring a band for your next function. They may offer a freshness to a boring and stiff function that cannot be found many other places.
