[QUOTE="pat_odea:175944"]Bands need to educate themselves on "pay to play" and seriously consider if this is a system they want to support. A quick Google search for "pay to play"+bands+promoter or something similar will plenty of articles with food for thought. It blows my mind that bands would all agree to give up $1000 cut of the door to the venue & promoter (with no incentive or costs to promote with this system) in order to play a last minute show with regional bands on the night of a huge show across the street. Is the venue even taking a cut of the door on top of bar sales? Bands might break even or make money, and shows should make the venue and promoter money too, but bands should ask themselves if they're happy with what they're buying for their money. It could be good sound, guest list, cheap/free food or drinks, security, good set length, good slot # on the show, space to sell merch, time and money into promotion. I don't know ShadowSD or have a clue what the other details would be other than the promise of great sound, and this is nothing personal. There are plenty of places around that book like this and some are worse deals than others. I just think that bands that should have the guarantees, not the promoters, and it's bad for bands and bad for the music scene when people let that switch.[/QUOTE]
