Informed I was talking to the band that played at the UPSTAIRS LOUNGE ON WHARF STREET Saturday Night. (Double Diamond, April 12) They were a little choked, they got stiffed for more than half of their pay. Club said because of numbers but no disclaimers were discused when THEY phoned the band to book. Just a "Take it or Leave it" attitude at the end of the night. Beware Beware Beware! Get money upfront if you can, or just don't play there. They will soon realize that Victoria is a very small community and news travels fast. - Mon, 14 Apr 2003 11:59am
Some guy The same thing happened to Veronica Tangent when the place opened. They got cut off 1 hour into their set and the bar decided to put a DJ on instead. Then the bar tried to stiff them for less pay, but they eventually got what they were supposed to... But what do you expect from a live venue that has a dress code??? Isn't most of the door staff from One Lounge? What does that say??? - Mon, 14 Apr 2003 2:59pm
Anonymous again this is another issue of a bar booking a band and not advertising. - Mon, 14 Apr 2003 7:35pm

Sounds like the owners of the Irish pub underneath are up to their old tricks again. My friend Sol played at Darcy's a few years back and got into a huge argument over money owed to him. Sigh... - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:53pm
