I posted ages back about how my wife was angry with me because I had joined a band with a midget couple. I took on your advice and discussed it with her and all went well, she layed off me for a while, under the condition she could take on some kind of roll in the band.
I broke and let her become a sort of a quasi manager. She got us a few gigs and we all appreciated it. However, now things are getting a little awkward.
She is trying to get us to leave our roots of heavy rock and metal behind and completely change our set to a lighter, more contemporary mix mash of 80s Bryan Adams sort of stuff, which is neither mine or my bandmates cup of tea.
She says it will get us more gigs around our area and with that I agree. But as I’ve been trying to drum into her with little success, it isnt about the gigs to us, we just do them for fun.
Which leads me to believe she still has a mega issue with the fact 2 midgets and I can fill a room. Only last week she went off at me because the band appeared in the local news (read by all of 3 people) and said it made HER look like a fool around town because the picture had me dressed as a three headed dragon with my bandmates on my shoulders. It was all for publicity because we played for sick kids on Halloween.
She bitches on and on and I think I’ve created a monster, even worse then when she wasn’t involved with the band.
Have any of you had wife issues like this when it comes to your band? Shes driving me up the wall and I know she is going to take it personally if I tell her off. 😈
