I’ve played in a number of bands where we never rehearse – we just show up and play the gig. In fact, for the last nine plus years I’ve been playing with several bands, and have never gotten together with any of them to practice outside of the venue.
A big part of being a professional musician is the ability to be self-motivated. You can never be good enough or know enough songs. Bands quite often look to evolve, expand their repertoire, or just simply get better. If you’re complacent or lazy, and the rest of the group wishes to elevate the standards, you could be shown the door.
