Project in which music is developed / played
In popular music , a side project is a project undertaken by one or more people already known for their involvement in another band . It can also be an artist or a band temporarily switching to a different style.
Usually these projects emphasize a different aspect of that person's or that band's musical interests that they feel they cannot explore within the boundaries established by their main project. Side projects can later become full-time endeavours, but should not be confused with quitting a band for a solo career or another band. Peter Hartlaub of San Francisco Chronicle [1]
The New York Times [2] aesthetic reasons to pursue side projects,[3] indie credibility.[3]
Overview [ edit ]
One of the earliest examples of a side project in the rock era was that of The Four Seasons , who established The Wonder Who? as a brand for experimental and novelty covers that could not be released under their own name; more enduringly, lead singer Frankie Valli 's solo career began as a side project. Such was the rarity of such arrangements at the time that Philips Records , the Four Seasons' record label at the time of Valli's early solo work, was initially afraid that it was a sign the band was soon to dissolve or that Valli was leaving, which Valli assured he had no intention of doing.[4]
One example of musical side projects is Kiss 's decision in 1978 to have each member of the band, Gene Simmons , Paul Stanley , Ace Frehley and Peter Criss , simultaneously release solo albums. In 1992, The Melvins released solo EPs in a similar fashion.
"Side project" may also refer to pursuits of famous individuals outside of their primary fields. For instance, Wicked Wisdom is a "side project" of actress Jada Pinkett Smith . Side projects often occur at a crossroads of a celebrity 's career.
A side project can also be a band that takes on an "alter ego ", usually in order to play a different style of music that their fans are not used to. An example of this type of side project would be the band Weezer , who is also the Nirvana cover band Goat Punishment.
Another example of a side project is when in 1990, Jesper Strömblad of Ceremonial Oath decided to start a side project known as In Flames because he wanted to start a new project that combined Iron Maiden and death metal all together which he said he had never heard of before, the side project then grew into a band in 1995 and is now one of the most influential metal bands of all time, and still together without Jesper.
A joint side project consisting of members of multiple known bands is known as a supergroup .
