yes, that bad attitude is spreading worldwide... getting no money at all
(not even the travel costs) or paying for playing. that's crazy, i can't
figure out why - in all respect for workers - if you have a plumber in your
apartment you pay him/her all the due, till the last cent, and when you've
musicians playing at your festival, club, concert, whatever you pay with a
mere percentage of the door.
currently trying to settle a world tour for my duo z_e_l_l_e and that's
depressing. i understand the difficulties in dealing with
experimental/difficult musics, but we could easily starve to death (not
even guarantee for air fare) for that matter. excuse the vent/rant.
