So Im starting a ska band

[RG37]

Do you think it would still sound good if ti was just a three person band, no horn section? and no second guitar. I love the three person line up, and horn players are hard to find.

[Jumpoff]

just be a specials cover band.

[dennybear]

it's just not the same without horns.

[hockeyguitar99]

I don't think it'd work too well.

[handlikesecret]

depends on what you have for the three members.

[chipdip18]

You gotta have at least one horn doing lead.

Dude, you could be up there singing and playing accordion, with a harpsichord player on the side, and be playing nothing but german waltz songs. As long as the songs are solid and you can actually sing/play your instruments, it'll be good.

[chipdip18]

Any band with a harpsichord player is hot. Harpsichord + Flute + Sax + Cello + Sexy woman singing + Telecaster + dw drumset + stand up bass = Best band ever.

[mybreakingpoint]

Mothermania did it. be like them & i'll love you.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Motherboy > Mothermania

[Getup and Dance]

Im going to start a Viking ska metal band.

[El_Jeffe]

no reason why not, ska is a limitless genre, there are no hard fast boundaries or rules. this could turn out for the best in the early days of your band, as writing new music with a horn section can be a little tough for some people if you're not used to it. so the horns coming into things later in the project (if at all) might be a good thing. to be honest, the next member i'd look for to join the band would be a keys/organ player
