So, if anyone knows me, they know that I like a particular band hella, musically and well.. was personally. I had some issues on my mind concerning them, so I decided to message them via myspace. Even smaller no-name bands are becoming hollywood. Check it out here.

Well, they get a B+ for honesty.

Seriously, though, they are telling you to go buy a kite and fly it. I suspect that they have a better deal with the other Vegas promoter - at least that is how I read it. Money talks, as we all know, and I belive that this is the case here. Make them more money and they'll be a better friend.

Myspace is cheap publicity and I think that one reason why Myspace is used is that they have a limited promotion budget. If that is true then good relationships with promoters, both big and small, would be a key to their success. They apparently don't think so.

Perhaps they have a case of "We're BIG SHITS NOW" syndrome.

Thanks John for your input, I agree wholeheartedly. I do this kind of stuff because I love the music. I never make money on this. I look for more than just the music though, establishing relationships with bands to create friendships out of something that we both love, the music.

It just really saddens me to see that the band that I fuckin' supported 100% said what they said. They reduced me to "everyone else" and value promoters as just people they need to get ahold of or they can't get a show.

I added them onto a big show, because I thought they were good, but I also thought they were nice.

Well, fuck.. I could've put on GDB and that would've brought more people.. and I love GDB.

I know little of the music business, but everything that I have read and what little I have been able to glean from sources suggests that the music business is a cut-throat as it comes.
