That Thing You Do: Meet Girls And Dance

After The Oneders win the Mercyhurst talent show, of course a guy like THAT would walk on to the actual stage to ask the band to play at his “spaghetti place out by the airport”.

If you’ve ever started a band, something like this has happened.  And of course, you take the gig, as you should.

Cut to The Oneders playing the beautiful ballad, All My Only Dreams, at the restaurant, Villapiano’s.  

When the song is finished, there’s some golf-clapping, and then someone shouts an incredibly defining and important line from the back of the club…

“WE CAME HERE TO MEET GIRLS AND DANCE…AND WE CAN’T MEET GIRLS UNTIL WE DANCE!!!!”

The band fires up the hit, the dancing commences.

Oh if every band could be so lucky.  For a fans to yell (unknowingly) in great phycological detail their specific purpose for coming to your show.

You might not have the good fortune of this being delivered to you like a script from a Hollywood movie.

But if you start asking the questions, the answers have probably already begun revealing themselves.

What are your fans there to do?

How do you satisfy what they are there to do?
