They would have to. So start paying if you want bands to not be such morons and shut up or get a job in an office instead of owning a club.

But I still beleive it is up to a club owner to actually do the legwork to make their establishment the best it can be and pay for entertainment that they book. I am of course a musician and theoretically if I was to be on the business end of things and ie. open a restaurant I could NEVER expect to ever do a great business if I only depended on my friends to eat there. I am of the belief that you would need two things for this restaurant to take off ............1. Good food and 2. Spending money on letting people know you have good food. And I have a big question to ask all of you. WHY IN THE F&*# SHOULD MUSICIANS PLAY AND RECORD FOR NOTHING This is the only trade where the worker is somehow supposed to fucking bow down and play or work for free. From downloading music on down to all the club owners. This is total nonsense and the reason WHY so many bands suck. If you have to keep your day job and cannot do music full time cause no one wants to pay you cannot ever take it to the next level. I am not talking tons of dough either. I am talking about making music to put a roof over your head and food in your tummy. I think this is not only lazy on the part of the club owner it is also without any risk which is what any successful business is about. At least the ones with longevity. This expecting bands to fill your club or even bring 20 people has been a problem all over Los Angeles and I have seen it sprawl out to the rest of america (it always does from the smoking ban to pop culture) California almost always leads the pack. Now on the other end I have also seen clubs who actually LISTEN to the bands they are going to book regardless of their draw and in time since this band is truly of high quality because they are rehearsing 5 nights a week. And getting good instead of being out there making friends. Well all of a sudden people start showing up because the club is doing what they are supposed to be doing which is selling fair priced beer and booking high quality entertainment. I have a concept for all of you club owners. If you don't have the money for promotion or good entertainment. THEN DON"T OPEN A CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!! On the other end of a listener prospective it would be so cool to be able to frequent a club and know the bands were going to kick ass that night since the club cared enough to book decent music all the time. Maybe there just isn't enough talent though on the part of bands. So a word to all the musicians out there. Stop posing and talking on ur godamn little my space and facebook BS and start playing more to get better. Most of your observations are spot on and hilarious.

I'm glad to be done with the whole music thing. A man has to know his limitations, and I knew early on that while I possessed some talent, I wasn't cut out to be a "rockstar" (much like 99.9% of the delusional local bands out there). There's nothing wrong with playing some music for fun at home, but if you aren't amazing, please don't try shoving it in peoples' faces. The same goes for if you're all nasally and annoying. Nobody wants to listen to you banter. The same also goes for bands that actually think about how they are going to banter prior to playing. I have a job, I'm a functioning member of society, and I enjoy laughing at my old friends who are now in their late twenties wasting all of their free time desperately trying to be the second Nirvana. Side projects, lol. I love when bands form fifty side projects that all involve the same band members. Nothing like hearing the same band with fifty different names all making feedback while screaming nonsense. Ah memories... Hilarious. I’m glad to be done with the whole music thing.

I knew of one club (bar) owner that would promise one price to a band only to find out that he went and lined up another one to fill the night then turn around and split the money between the two bands saying; "Oh well I made a mistake and booked this band too so you don't mind splitting the money do you???" The lesson here is that everyone is subject to being in the asshole club. Bar owners included!!! I'm a musician myself and I've had enough experience to say, "Ok, enough is enough, I'm starting my own music channel on Youtube where I can get my music out and don't have to deal with idiots...period!!!" There's always a possibility I'll hook up with some people that are on the same page as I am. And btw the tit bars are fun for a boys night out, but it would cost the $200.00 for one "private" alone so you funnel that to gas, pizza and maybe a few bucks for everybody's pocket. I used to get $175.00 a weekend for doing covers at clubs and up depending on how many nights we were doing plus I would get laid occasionally which wasn't bad.

I have been in my local circuit (and beyond) for the past several years, and have built up a solid reputation. I laughed out loud at most of these, because i see it all the time. Now that i have begun booking and promoting shows at a venue, as well as playing in my own band, i see this shit all the time, and it's ridiculous. a couple things i would like to add to your list are: - bands who purposely stall past their 10:00pm set time because the bar is empty. Hey, i dropped your name everywhere i could, it's not my fault people think you're shit, and you can't even bring your own girlfriends to the show. - bands who throw an extremely obscure cover into their set, and think they're the hottest shit on the planet. No one has ever heard of radio city soundtrack. - Singers who insist on drinking lots of water with "no ice, and lots of lemon", and make sure everyone around them notices it....only to proceed to get on stage and sound like a dying fucking llama - band managers who talk through their asses, because even THEY know their band is shit. "I've talked to every record label in the states...these guys are on all their radars" BULLSHIT. chances are, you emailed one, and they told you to fuck off. I could go on, but the list would be endless. I just wanted to say thank you for the laughs!! this was priceless and dead on the money!

What? Did he think it was all peaches and cream profesional attitude with 99.9% of the musicians having a real clue in the first place? Apparently he's never seen This Is Spinal Tap or A Mighty Wind. If "Kenny" is that flustered then he needs to find another business to be in. "I used to be a profesional drug addict, now I'm a professional musician."~Steven Tyler. This list is really un-nessecery, but I guess Kenny has got to vent somehow. What? Did he think it was all peaches and cream profesional attitude with 99.9% of the musicians having a real clue in the first place? Apparently he’s never seen This Is Spinal Tap or A Mighty Wind. If “Kenny” is that flustered then he needs to find another business to be in.

There is such a thing as musicians that just enjoy playing.. pizza is just out of the question... but it sounds nice... where is this venue?????? Im from Arlington, Tx my band never has problems with getting people.. of course we don't play every weekend but every show we play has 20 people.. sometimes more.. depending on the night.. It is quite hard to fill even the smallest of venues on a worknight.. lol mr manager.. i'm sorry but 100$ for some no name band is a bit granderous...
