Alright heres another question, do you(bands) play request a certain amount of money or do you just play for whatever is offered?

Bars shows?

Most bands around here go for a cut of the door, but if you consistantly bring in a good draw you could add in a cut of the bar sales, or just go for a pre-determined flat rate.

I'm pretty sure my band goes for a flat rate for most of our shows, but sometimes we just get a jug of beer and the like.

And once you start dealing with bigger numbers remember that contracts are your best friend. - Fri, 9 Dec 2005 12:38pm

If money is available so be it. I don't play pop music so i've never been concerned with money. - Fri, 9 Dec 2005 4:07pm

When we play steamers we get all of the door, but have to pay the sound guy. - Sat, 10 Dec 2005 12:47pm

i can't remember the last time we got paid well for playing a show. matt at bosevus is really good at paying bands, usually enough to get drunk with.

i'd rather play a show and not get paid a dime than not play a show at all.
