whoa, hold on dude. i'm not speaking on behalf of anyone. people were saying "for shame" and that my band "supports pay to play" about us playing a mark's showplace show. i said "the accursed, zircon, and cnv are also supporting pay to play since they are on this show" to remind people that we're not the only band who has sold tickets to play at mark's showplace. i wasn't intending to offend anyone, just get equal treatment.

You guys shouldn't have been paying to play either. Actually the way it should work is...
1. Promoter asks band to play.
2. Band says "sure!"
3. Promoter actually goes out and promotes and gets people to show up.
4. Depending on how well he/she does that, the crowd shows up.
5. The band does their part by loading up their gear, traveling to the show, setting up, playing the gig, breaking down, packing up & after the promoter pays the band, they go home.

You're a victim as much as anyone who gets suckered by this shit. I love how because a big band's on the bill we're "expected" to sell X amount of tickets if we want to play the gig.
