Hi.Its so long since I've been in a position to ignore someone.
Ill say hello to fucking anyone
There's nothing on earth stopping them making music and playing gigs and having ordinary everyday jobs like the absolute majority of bands in this country.
This is perfectly legit if you are willing to drop everything and move to Dublin. I folded earlier this year myself, and honestly i've had no problem working to support my music habit for long time but it got to the point where if i was to have any respect for the people i was playing with i wouldn't put them on stage for the pittance that is floating around for bands these days. this model of working to survive as musician suits a certain type of musician, but if you are actually a working musician and you are giving up paid shows to play originals (to decent sized audiences) for nothing then there's a fair argument to actually spell out that its bullshit instead of playing out a farce because that's what's perceived. Some bands are amazing even as part time, some bands need to be full time.
but if you're aiming for the stars and LA and having coke blown up your hole...
You see, those guys followed the script. Maybe if Moby Ape had better hair?
I wrote a book no one wants to publish, so obviously that's the industry's fault, right?
take it off spotify if you think streaming is hurting you more than helping
The way musicians are treated is a fucking sham. Play Electric Picnic for "exposure"? Fuck that. Flapes make some valid points, but I think ultimately the problem wasn't Joe Public, unless the problem was Joe Public not loving them as much as Joe loves Coldplay. And there's the conundrum. Would you trade your vision for Coldplay's riches, but you'd have to be fucking Coldplay?If you are booked to travel somewhere and read the book to a bunch of people who are paying the venue directly or indirectly though, and you still are getting expenses at best, then its a joke. I agree with you at large, but I'm also agreeing with FLApes in the sense that the accepted culture around music is not one i'm willing to play with at the minute. Back in the day is grand but factually my band was made of working session musicians who are taking nights off paid shows to play with me because they dig it and I couldn't abide by that any longer. I'll never waver from the concept that the band are part of the venue staff and should be treated exactly as that, whether they are shite or appealing or whatever, time is time.
