Cool thanks.

I made that mistake....It's actually SUNS of the Empire...

Sons of the Empire are a London indie band...

Rick It's not unheard of for a support band to not get paid (to not get fed is ridiculous). When I was touring (a long time ago!!!), support acts used to pay (well the record companies did) the main act to be on the tour...I still have friends in the business who work for Live Nation and they tell me it still happens today. But you need to get this sorted up front. Don't let then screw you for your talent, you are worth more than that...

I wouldn't be to skeptical Rickster.....I remember having to PAY sometimes lol.....WTF!????



BUT!!!!!! If others got paid and you didn't....lets just say....ole jess's nice guy routine would go right out the window.....and the ass stomping boots would be laced up tight!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again the words from youy guys are so encouraging and blow my mind! Yea i'm still in the process of getting the down low on whats going on..........lol yea i heard of paying to play at clubs but gee not even a bag of chips..lol...belive me though i had a blast.. i just dont want it to be a continuious cycle with them because apperantly we might open for them somemore. Thanks so much guys for all this feedback and grand encouragement..I too look very forward to meeting you all...i plan on joining a Junkie Convention in California this summer ..would be great to see you all....Maby Collin will have some busness out there as he is from the other side of the pond!

"Music and Money", that's a sad story... recently, the band of a friend of mine played a gig with some not really well-known bands. In order to be allowed on that concert's lineup - in a small down-and-out club, mind you! - they asked him to a) sell 50 tickets or b) come up with 50 tickets' worth himself. That, indeed, means not only not being paid, but pay yourself to be on stage!

Still, I'm thrilled to hear that you're on the Stairway to Heaven, Rick! Once you've climbed Rock'n'Roll Olympus, don't forget us lowlies down here
