I think most bands offer a DJ in some capacity. In my experience, this DJ primarily plays during band breaks while the band members go eat or smoke cigs in the parking lot (Greek). In my opinion, this has always been an underwhelming filler. I believe the “band-provided-dj” understands they aren’t the main event. Once the band returns, the energy and theatrics shift drastically from the filler music.
If you decide to hire both me and a band, the experience will be completely different. When it’s my time to play, I come out swinging. Since I have a reduced set time, there is no warm-up period. Normally, when I control the whole night I nurture the set to create a smooth, organic musical build-up from start to finish. However, this isn’t possible, so we just come out and play hard knowing every allotted second I get counts.
You can think of it this way: my approach isn’t to be a “side show”. Rather, we are our own show, within the show.
