Why would a dive bar ever charge a no-name band to appear?

They won't. The dive bars will be there for the bands early on and if/when the bands fall on hard times.

Ok.


Why would any venue charge a band of any size to appear?


Alternatively, how will we pay this oh-so-realistic charge when you start with $0? Banking sim to pay back a loan?

The only reason in the real world is Pay-To-Play. Small-time bands sell tickets to friends, then take the money to the bagman the pay-to-play company or venue has. This makes more money for the pay-to-play company than the band.

This wouldn't explain bigger bands having to do this.


Yeah, this doesn't work.

Personally I think that you should start out playing in your parent's garage, perhaps with a friend or two. When you scored well enough with an instrument to graduate from that you could either post ads looking for people to audition or answer ads to audition to be in other people's bands (the band leader path would have a different set of challenges). You band would start out playing minor gigs, weddings and Bat Mitzvahs and birthday parties. After a little of that, some guest at one of these would invite you to play in his dive bar.

As your career progressed, you might make bad decisions and have set backs, or flourish. As band leader you'll have to deal with members dropping out or checking into rehab. As either leader or member, you might be approached with offers to do solo projects or to dump you current band altogether. Etc, etc, etc to as much depth as possible. I think that it'd be a lot of fun to play a game like that .

And...what's the downside to band members leaving? They're not gonna cut out the audio for a stem for 'months' while you wait for a replacement, nor will they prevent you from playing while you find a replacement.

Sounds fun (okay the idea of having control of your destiny and all, just not losing YOUR created members. Online band, sure, that'd work), especially the Bat Mitzvahs. Everybody gets in their cowls, and or goth gear...

So in conclusion, MOAR ROLEPLAYING!

The majority of the early parts of the game will consist of your crappy day job.

The garage: This should be customizable like Lego's Rock Den. In fact, it'd be easier to customize because it's a smaller space.

Those early gigs: It would be cool to have the "private party" pop up, and it turns out to be an upscale version of one of those gigs.
