Rock and Roll Is About Money

This a real shame, and I've seen it here in San Diego.."PROMOTERS" suck you in by playing a great venue, then expect you to sell loads of presale...notice i say..."EXPECT YOU...NOT THE PROMOTER" to sell tickets and promote the show. So in this article there are 6 bands, THEY have to SELL 75 tickets...then GIVE the MONEY to the PROMOTER...$750...for a 30 minute set. $750 x 6 = A SHITLOAD OF MONEY, then gives the Venue Half and pockets the rest....an easy 2 Grand for not doing a damn thing!!!! Yes it is great playing a reputable venue but when a band doesn't even AT THE LEAST get ONE free drink?? Come on.....
