Thanks!!
I'l go and look at the links but it's all a bit mindboggling at the moment!!
Okay, I've been asked to join a band where the 'boss' is a talented composer/musician (pianist).
They need a lyricist, if I write the music too that's a bonus (sometimes I do). He does the arrangement mostly. I could also sing. There are already several singers (3 so far, one also plays the flute), a drummer I think, the guitarist is new, I'm not sure about the rest.
The plan is to do the CDs indie, without a publisher. I'm guessing concerts etc. too, and ultimately they want to be on MTV (Ambitious is good, right?)
So what's the deal if I just write the lyrics, or lyrics+music, or also sing the lead or a part of the song, or only do backups?
The band is pretty new, and has undergone some structural changes, heading for a new music direction etc.
We're talking about establishing ground rules, I'd just like to know what is considered *fair* so that everyone is pretty much content. (Me included.)
