Cloud Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Tell the truth, you're playing a pay to play sham in Glasgow and have to sell 30 tickets otherwise you'll have to pay out money to the promoter I wonder if "A&R representatives" means "mate of bloke who occassionally speaks to so and so that works in the bar at king tuts", like it normally does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scam! Nae music industry folk! Fruitless!Go do some research before signing up for everything chaps! Good luck and all that. I know Estrella get a hard time of it on here but you guys, Estrella, don't need to play showcase gigs, just send along a 'Best of Cheesey Cock Rock' album from the 80's. Your music, I'm afraid, is an easy target for bored fingers! I will add to this that you sound like a realy talented bunch of guys playing, IMO, crap pointless music! Sorry coz I'm sure you are lovely chaps and all that.(Can you tell that I have removed my angry old man hat these days, so many apologies. I have been listening to Sandi Thom and gone all flower-power-hippy-punk-rocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Real A+R people go to gigs all the time finding out new things for themselves, they dont goto showcases because bands playing them are 99.99% of the time, fucking shite.

calum Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 A band I go to school with went and booked themselves into that. Sounded like a bad, BAD idea to me. Still does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's music to party to, music to drink to, and well music in the general sense of the word. So you can keep that opinion, I on the other hand love this style of music!
