minimum entry requirement to be a band
It seems the minimum entry requirement to be a band is always in flux. It used to be about 2 songs for the longest time: 78s and then 45s were each about 2 songs (1 per side). Then the late 60s came along and the rise of the album meant that bands had to put out an album (10-15 songs) to be considered a band. At the very least they needed to release an EP (6ish songs).
Now, it’s different once again—you need a myspace player’s worth of songs to be considered a band. You need at least fill the player, at least four songs to be a band.
Go search for a band. You’ll find their myspace page and check it out. Click around myspace a bit. Am I wrong?
That solo project of the backup singer of that guy you like? Three songs. Not a real band. Not yet at least.
