One Night Band 4: We take 8 drummers, 8 bassists, and 24 "everything else" – vocalists, guitarists, keyboardists, accordionists, trombonists, etc. – and shuffle them up into bands of five. They have one day to write three songs and also prepare one cover; we reconvene that night at the Middle East Downstairs to see the results. Each band has 1 drummer, 1 bassist and 3 "everything else" to ensure that each band has
the basic foundation of a rhythm section. But what they do with their personnel is completely up to them.
