How can I create a group on drupal that includes core group members (such as members of a music band) and fans of that group? The group would help core members organize among themselves (set a gig date for example). It could also let fans communicate with the band and among themselves.
Would using modules "organic groups" and "organic groups subgroups" work? I'm thinking core members would be a organic group and fans would be a subgroup.
Thanks in advance. I hope this is a good place to post this type of question as I couldn't find a group for OG.

OG subgroups versus OG User Roles
I see also a module called "Organic Groups User Roles". Does anybody have suggestion for OG user roles versus OG subgroups for the use case above?
http://drupal.org/project/og_user_roles
Take a look at roles in
Take a look at roles in admin > user > roles
There you will see different roles, each one has appropriate permissions settings related almost to the role title.
Here you may create one for "Band" members and one for "Fans".
In this way you can manage more easy the permission of each role's membership even for your OG Groups.
Then when you install OG-User-Roles-Module you will have a more fine grained permission management for your registered users
belonging/joined to a Group.
Hope this helps
