What's a good basic lighting set-up for semi-pro photography?

Not getting into the content business - just for band shots, etc. I have a decent digital camera but what type of lighting could I get by with for indoor shoots? Best bang for the buck.

I've been using an alienbees.com intro kit and love it!

Then again one flash with softbox can give really nice results as well. You dont need 3 flashes with umbrellas etc.

Stupid question - in what situation would you use a softbox instead of an umbrella? And how does it change the look?
