we live in a world of free choice.bands wanna pay to play.
its their own CHOICE!
go ahead, u think that by not asking bands sell tix u are helping the scene. go ahead and prove urself.
its not a bad thing the organisers make bands sell tix.
it takes two hands to clap and u knw, sometimes for a noob band to start out, u need to fork out some effort, in this context its effort to sell tix, or in the worst case scenario, pay ur way thru.
at the end of the day, its still business.
no organiser/business man will pay to let some noob band play and not have a crowd to cover back the minimal capital.
i wld love to see u guys forking out ur own cash to help the scene and allow new bands to try out giggin. im interested to see how long u can sustain this.
on the other hand,
if u re good, people will PAY u to play.
but seriously, even if u suck, no one is forcing u to sign the contract to pay to play. u re doing it out of ur own free will.
CAVE, im glad to see u guys doing this, but for now, its all talk, i hope to see u guys prove something and help the scene out.
just dont fall out after the first few shows cos that would really mean all talk and no substance at all.
