fr33convict: Well F***.

fr33convict 10.22.10	We were asked to play it. We said sure. Got the tickets to sell. A day later said we weren't ready. And all this happens. Fuck I'm mad right now.
Athom 10.22.10	.you can go talk to other promoters. fuck that asshole
Deviant. 10.22.10	Wait, i'm confused. You said yes to performing, took all the tickets, and then told him you weren't ready?
climactic 10.22.10	That's fucking twisted
killrobotmusic 10.22.10	pay to play is gay. look for venues that don't practice that garbage.
Athom 10.22.10	2000 dollars is an egregious amount for p2p. normally that shit is like 300
OvrotLivesAgain 10.22.10	Well that sucks. Rape his wife. And I like your cat.
fr33convict 10.22.10	@Deviant: They give you tickets to sell when you sign up. We said we'd give 'em back. They said no.
Deviant. 10.22.10	How long did he/they have to find another act to replace?
fr33convict 10.22.10	@someguest: it's a big venue, he owns a ton of shit, and he basically told every local venue not to have us play there.
fr33convict 10.22.10	@Deviant: we were a very late registration. They didn't need anymore acts at that point but our "manager" (friend) got us in.
SoapySoap 10.22.10	"how can one douchebag ban you from every venue in your area?" I don't know, but that would be fucked up if he actually did something like that. It's a shame that that's how it is. There's always a shady part to the music industry.
fr33convict 10.22.10	From what I understand it's a list venues check so they know they're not gonna get a band who screws them over. It's kind of like being put on a most hated list.
Athom 10.22.10	even for a big venue 2000 is a lot. my friends played the house of blues for 300 in tickets
fr33convict 10.22.10	@redsky: and that would be why no one would buy that shit.
Deviant. 10.22.10	"@Deviant: we were a very late registration. They didn't need anymore acts at that point but our "manager" (friend) got us in. " Ah right. I was just gonna say that if you bailed at the last second and left him out of pocket I could understand his over reaction. Guy sounds like a dick
Athom 10.22.10	seriously, just tell him that he can go fuck himself and keep on keeping on.
Countess 10.22.10	"we're basically gonna have to start over (band name, fan base.) to get a gig." did you already have an established fan base?
fr33convict 10.22.10	@Countess: Quite a few fans for a band that doesn't play many gigs. We had more song plays, profile views, etc., than my friends band who broke while about to be signed to a label.
Countess 10.22.10	"Guy sounds like a dick" sums it up very well sucks for you guys though
SoapySoap 10.22.10	I honestly feel bad. This actually pisses me off.
wyankeif1337 10.22.10	Make him listen to Brokencyde.
fr33convict 10.22.10	haha wish I could
whywontyoudie 10.22.10	jesus, pay to play at the two closest venues to me are each like 100 dollars a night. bands end up making a few hundred more than they pay. that promoter is full of shit, fuck him. if people care about your music, they'll stick with you and say fuck that asshole as well.
kangaroopoo 10.22.10	empty some bags of cow manure at his venue entrance
fr33convict 10.22.10	the song uploads keep failing but here's our new myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/553708902 thanks everyone.
Josh D. 10.22.10	Punch the guy in the tooth.
Dryden 10.22.10	o wow myspace
telebyrd 10.22.10	Nancy Kerrigan - Smash The Kneecaps
fr33convict 10.22.10	you've got to put the songs on myspace so ilike can put them on facebook.
DeafMetal 10.22.10	Kill his mother and rape his dog. Promoters suck anyways.
HaloDude442 10.22.10	Fuck that guy. My best friend's band ran into a similar problem, but with just one venue not allowing them to play. I swear some of these people who run venues/promoters are just scum
