Re: [microsound] On canadians performing in the USA...




the law is not new but the enforcement of it has certainly increased in the past 5 years or so, particularly when it comes to DJs and other non-traditional musicians. they used to just think you were just odd for carrying vinyl around, but now they know to look out for it.


i used to get grilled going into canada with gear so it cuts both ways.

well new in terms of the last 5 years... you have to have a tour set up
with all the paperwork in order to come and play a show.. your not even
allowed to coem and play a single show you have to have a minimum amount
of shows booked its sort of lame acctually...

I'm shocked at what I am reading!  What is the reason for this
ridiculous law?  Does this apply to every foreign musician who
performs in the states or just Canadians?

Hey folks -
does anyone have information regarding easy routes to performing
legally in the states?

In my research, i've come across items that basically suggest that
you need to know 5 months in advance that you are performing at a
venue, fees are involved and signatures from multiple parties...
generally just really unrealistic stuff. I was wondering if anyone
had more information or legal alternatives, etc.

thanks
