Honestly, the world is your oyster....

I've shot bands everywhere from wide open park settings to dusty, dirty old garages, and everywhere in between...

I'd recommend finding a nice location that would be appropriate for his music (i.e. no field of wildflowers for a metal artist), and shoot away...

^^ +1. It's much more about the location fitting the musicians/music. Tell them you'd really like to reflect their style, and ask them if they have places they hang out (cause that may be it right there!) or places they have in mind. If they don't, ask them what type of place they'd like (it may even help to have them pick a song for you to listen to (their big single, etc) and think about places from that). Then, it's just about scouting locations. Definitely don't need a studio; most band shoots I see are on location somewhere. Lighting helps, but isn't necessary.
