I know of one band from Toronto called ASA, that does all their stuff
completely live. That is without a backing tape, or any sequences.
They are called ASA. When I saw them, they had five people in their live
set. One was mixing. They used lots of really great sounding analog
synths, 303s, and I'm not sure what else. But I was recently talking to
the band, and they said that in order to perform that way, it takes a lot
of preparation time. (and I imagine more the one or two people)
They obviously did prepare well for the show that I saw them at, because
their show was amazing to hear live. So it definitely can be done.
I think the only other problem for many bands is in how the music
created. I imagine many bands will create a sequence, and use sequencer
to loop it, and will add effects later. Never actually playing the music
live, even when originally recording it. Also if there is one or two
people in the group, and the music is put together in layers. It can be
rather difficult to recreate live.
