MutantBanana : Pass law test eh!
i think all we can do is just remind bands that we shouldn't be relying on pay-to-play gigs. this topic has been brought up in soft a million times, and yet, there are still dozens of bands who think joining such gigs'd be a great idea. sure, getting invited to play for gigs IS rare, especially if you're a newly formed band, but why wait for the opportunity for gigs, when you can create opportunities of your own. go email reputable organisers, go send out presskits / demos, go organise your own gigs with your friends even. DIY! just cos you have a youtube channel / myspace and a soft account doesn't mean you'll be metallica overnight.
