There are a lot of other people besides your band-mates who will contribute to your musical successes.
Take for example friend and photographer, Sari Blum. We just posted some of her work on http://www.frogsgonefishin.com . Her shots are exactly what I would have imagined live-music photography to look like: a grainy texture that captures several emotions on-stage. Make sure and check out her work on the site.
Of course, we are lucky to be able to afford Sari at this point. She's a friend and that helps (the first time you ask, anyway). But it is people like Sari who are crucial to any band's success. There are forty-thousand tasks to accomplish on and off the stage if your group has a shot at being successful.
Anybody who helps a band focus on their music and not these other 39,999 tasks is doing a huge part in letting creativity exist outside of business and image, a separation some believe is necessary for creativity to exist in the first place.
While some believe it is the very economic demands of the artists that create the art in the first place, one thing is certain. We couldn't be more Grateful for other artists like Sari, and people like our road-manager and audio-engineer, Jack.
They are the people that make the people that make music happen.
