Hey Nic this is Shyam Raj here. Remember we spoke the last time ? Well Tks decided to play for ultrasound to see what was this bullshit all about . We obviously sold all the tickets aswell as saw what he was about .

Well dude you are just another money making twat. Bands its up to you to decide on your platform. But this is pure bull shit . I have prove that he said that live and loaded approached him for all the bands that had played with him once . And he said that he would never give live and loaded the bands list as he wanted to be involved in it.

Is this wat you mean by giving a platform to bands?

In prior experiences he made bands sell 20 tickets at 12 bucks each with no drinks given to tix buyers or proper equipment . we are talking 22 bands here. No E-poster adds were done , myspace publicity or even a simple thing of giving what he claimed , which was live and loaded the bands details . And dont you even lie about this Nic coz i do have prove. Little did u know my handphone was in my hand when i was talking to you rite? Ppl were also around .

22 bands x $12 x 20. how much does he make by placing an add like this on soft.com and no where else. He easily makes alot of money by scamming bands into paying for unsold tix.

True. Bands got themself dug into this. But wasnt his aim to give a platform to this bands?
Then why no posters, photographers , Reviews or even a simple thing of giving the names of the bands to Live and loaded who he claimed. When i asked him who was the person in live and loaded that approched him , he said he could not remeber the name or even the email. So would u want to loose such an important contact??

Thambi K Seaow is a band that gets paid for shows. I am not boasting , but we wanted to see how these underground band who start of suffer. The experience was bad. No monitors on stage . Noting to give exposure except for selling tix to their friends who could watch them at a jamming studio or wherever. Maybe a couple of other outsiders.

Here is what happened.

We asked him that if a big organiser was gonna ask him for his port folio , what did he have to show. His answer was tix stubs. How prof was that . After we gave him a peice of our mind . We told him that in future gigs we wanted to see an e poster at least , monitors , and photographers so that bands have a good photo to add into their CV. if he didnt we would let the public know of his scam work.
he agreed.

In the previous show there was a photographer and a e poster that he put on soft. KUDOS to getting a photographer. but for the profit you were getting you could have done a better poster.

What hurt me was when i saw young 16 year old bands who could not sell all their tix fork out money to pay for usold tix. This money is something that they could use for school Nic! And to me , you are a jerk for demanding that money and making bands sign on the dotted line under the pre text of a platform. THese are young kids who dont know what they are in for .

A particular band couldnt sell the tix and he held thier IC's and said that he would return it until they payed for the unsold tix . He also scolded them. We were informed of this , and we called him and told him to return them. ELse, we would come down and talk to him face to face. He returned it. haha NIC

Answer me now fellow readers. Is he a cop to hold their IC;s or an "Ah long " ?

When he cant promise bands a platform or at least proper equipment, what rite does he have that bands promise him the payment of unsold tix? You tell me this isnt a scam ?

Young bands out there . You are musicians and not salesmen. That same amt of money you are giving to idiots like these , can be used for your recordings and demos. you do not need to pay ppl like these for nothing. If 5 of your bands chipped in the same money that your friends had payed for the tix which are going to him but to yourselves and booked a studio or gig venue, you can still accheive the same publicity but to your own benefit and not some one who sits on the chair to demand money that he has not done work for.

He does this once a month imagine how much he earns. We will never work with ppl like these . If you need help pls pm me and i would gladly help in letting u know how you could organise gigs for yourselves. I'm sure alot of other sot.com ppl including james could give you tips willingly into how you could do a DIY gig.

DO NOT give in to money making ppl like these. when its them who should be selling tix for their own gigs. You are not sales men and entertainers remember that. Dont be desperate, but be smart. IF WE DONT STOP THIS , our local scene musicians will have a tradtion like this. Have some pride for yourselves.

YOU ARE MUSICIANS , NOT SALES MEN.

P.s he told us he sold 60 tix on his part. was is 60 tix compared to 22 bands selling 20 tix. who is the organiser and who is the band...on top of all of that, bands dont even get a commision.

Yours truely Ultrasound and Nicholas,
