Warning level raised.

i only hope to make enough money touring to continue on to the next tour stop. anything else is unrealistic at this point.

post by Sacreligion at Nov 10,2011 4:46pm

This article basically explains how even that goal is unrealistic.

awesome. i'm doing it least once in my life anyways even it kills me... which it probably will.

This is not news. Stay home, play for (or with) yourself, because you're paying to play even if you're not paying to play.

post by FuckIsMySignature at Nov 10,2011 5:06pm

You dawg I heard you like pay to play..

Who the hell is Oh, Sleeper? Has anybody ever heard of this band?

DIY, fuck managers.

Also, I thought this was kind of old news by now. I certainly wouldn't be looking to make any money on tour, I'd just be saving up year round and working my ass off to go do a tour to begin with. And tour managers, venue cuts, loooooooooooool, people wonder why I hang shit on the Palladium and Scion and shit like that, here's your reason.

I lolled at the whole thing about how there's a higher demand for "tighter-fitting, softer shirts" these days.

Also, this is only relevant to bands who generate enough interest to warrant a tour, so I'm gonna leave thread and never come back :(

bunch of cunts who'd drink away their pay check if they got pay checks to drink away.

post by t2daeeknli at Nov 11,2011 12:59am

besides the new bass player and keyboard player... but the old bass player drinks enough for both of them to prove previous point..
