No monitors sounds like a good way to go for an instro band. I like the Ventures
set up of the '60's. they had no monitors as well and the guitar bass and drums
all set up on one side of the drummer. I've tried it and it cuts down on the
problem of the guitars and bass not hearing each other.

Los Straightjackets have in their contract rider, "No Monitors". Even when
they play 20,000+ venues with Tom Petty, etc., "No Monitors". They even ask to
have them removed from the stage so no one gets tempted. After you've been
screwed over a few times by "Sound Engineers" it's easy to see how they could go
to these lengths.
There is also a problem with "phase". If you your guitar amp speaker begins
it's first movement by moving towards the grill cloth, and the monitor speaker
is doing the same while pointing the opposite way, they will tend to cancel each
other out which makes everybody try to turn both up that causes more problems. I
have just installed a phase switch in my tour amp that can help correct the
problem.

You need a trusty sound man to assure the sound is right on the mains and
then keep the volume on the monitors cranked to each players liking.
The important thing is that band members can hear eachother and you are not
getting feed back.
