Now that you've read what is an employee and an independent contractor, it is time for you to help the band. As seen in the photo above, here is a picture of the cult band Popular Glove who performed in the $80$s at various clubs including the famous Ice House of Pasadena. Here are the particulars. The Ice House wants them to come back for a reunion concert. They are told that they must be at the venue by $5$:$00$ p$.$m$.$ and finish their sound check by $6$:$00$ p$.$m$.$ They will start performing at $9$:$00$ p$.$m$.$ until $12$:$00$ a$.$m$.$ They will be paid $$500$ for the night plus drinks $($that is one of the perks$).$ They must vacate the stage by $12$:$30$ a$.$m$.$

Instructions

The question is if they are willing to do the concert, are they going to be treated as employees or an independent contractor?
