RICHARD CAVE: WHICH MUSICIANS WILL BE PICKED TO MARKET BAND!
_____________
DON'T GET IT TWISTED.......Band owners and managers are very careful in terms of which musicians from a band they choose to market their brand with...to the public. The members chosen are the ones that will be the FACE OF THE BAND to sell to the public, whether it be on party flyers, group posters, or what have you.
RICHARD CAVE had it easy last time out with CARIMI because all 3 band owners were KNOWN for past musical accomplishments (KDANS/KING POSSE), and they also had their special brand of appeal to the ladies that they were targeting. NOW comes a brand new ball game.Assuming that MIKABEN will NOT be part of the group (Rumors running that he will help out at the beginning)....IF THEY DON'T USE MIKA as a face to market the band....WHO WILL RICHARD CAVE "choose" to have that honor from the musicians that will be in the group?
Let's take a look!
A) RICHARD CAVE goes the LARIVIERE route: To avoid hurting EGOS, RICHARD or should I say "RICH CAV" and FITO FARINEN can decide to just push RICHARD CAVE "ONLY" to market the band. ONLY HIS PICTURE on party flyers, the FRONT CD COVER, the official poster and other significant marketing tools. That move has it's PROS and CONS. The pros being that you sell the KNOWN FACE/POPULAR ARTIST to the world in Richard Cave. The CON being that it might get some "Lariviere" jabs where they might say that it's a SOLO effort backed up by musicians.
B) GO WITH 2 or 3 "KEY" MEMBERS of the group: What do you do in that case? Do you choose by SENIORITY? Do you choose by SEX APPEAL TO THE LADIES....POU VANN JAZ LA?....JUST GUESSING HERE but are we putting TI JOEL, DOCTOR GROOVE T-KLOD, JEFF Carimi and TI MARCO in there, or are there other players that are NOT yet known that can come in and be part of this equation?
C) "TOUT JAZ LA....as 1 unit": When it's time to SELL THE BAND....OU VANN TOUT JAZ LA as 1 unit, which means GROUP POSTER, FRONT/BACK CD COVER, which also has its PROS and CONS. It projects the look of a REAL GROUP to the fans, having said that, there are many who DON'T LIKE the look of a soccer team to market a musical group.....which is usually why only a certain few are chosen from the team to market to the fans.
