We generally do not have the us V them attitude here. Most bands know each other and are pals. We play jams and open mics together we swap members and lend/borrow gear...we "dep" (temporarily replace a member who is sick or on holiday) regularily...and we all work for similar pay. Sometimes two or more bands will play the same gig doing alternating spots. Fall outs and feuds do happen but that is the exeption rather than the rule. We have the same enemies...drunk punters and bad agents so stick together. You never know when you might have to join another band or have someone join you. It is a hard enough life without making it any harder by squabbling or cutting each others throats.
