They Aren't Promoters
Being a middle-aged musician, having once been an over-eager young musician, I can understand how these vultures can prey on kids.. But come on Dad!!! Paying $1000 to play 30 minutes at the HOB on a weeknight??? Here's a suggestion: Maybe along with playing "old school" rock, they should try the "old school" method of playing clubs (not pay to play), writing quality songs, and building a following? Like most things in life, there are no shortcuts, and there are vultures willing to take advantage of anyone who thinks otherwise.— June 11, 2012 3:58 p.m.
