I just realised that Stacy always appears facing the crowd (at least, from all the videos I've seen). I don't know of any other band who has the keyboarder facing the stage. I think that deserves a cheer Very Happy


(unless I'm wrong about this)

I have always wondered why bands with keyboard/vocalist do not face the crowd. It bother's me to watch them sideways on the stage Confused

I never seen them sideways, just kind of... diagonal. It's weird, but I think it's to make space, because usually they aren't ALWAYS on the keyboard, they switch.

I think it might also be that when you have a real piano, people usually sit sideways. So maybe that's what keyboard people think about. That and the multi-instrument theory.

If you have a real piano, sitting sidewayse makes sense, 'cos the piano is so big it would completely block the audience from seeing you. Also, if you have to switch between a guitar and piano often, then I think it's usually fine.

I have seen many bands whose keyboardist faces the audience if they have something like a keyboard, rhodes, or stage piano.

like, the motion city soundtrack keyboardist is a frontman and works the crowd.

socratic? their keyboardist does too, he's amazing and sings too.

yeah but like grand pianos, like elton john or what not. yeah, those make sense to face sideways.

I knew this guy that led worship on the keyboard, and he faced the people...I didn't like him though and I like stacy, so this is way different.

Worship is a bit different though.
For the church I go to, the keyboard is always in the front facing everyone, but the piano is off to the side, for more space.

Jonathan from Waking Ashland does the diagonal thing which is a habit started when they had to do a series of acoustic shows I think. He only play the keys though so I think he should be straight forward personally.

My friend Josh goes straight out towards the audience and always has. I think since he only plays keys and is the vocalist it makes sense for him to be front and center facing the audience,
