touring is not sustainable for most younger artists in 2024 so start reading ur contracts and keep ownership of ur shit I promise you they need you more than you need them, whoever it is.
power to the musicians, everyone else can suck it at the end of the day 🤝🏻
Hey guess what, we dropped a collab with our boi Sors on @DeepDarkDanger today 🖤🐙🖤 “The Crowd” is now live as a subscriber exclusive via the DDD bandcamp
@jack_temion Venues can skew the risk:reward in their favor by the consistent nature of these routes. I could offer them a show every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month for a year with the same deal. A new built in crowd forms, increasing odds of success for the next tour.
You know how artists are like “if you want me to come to your city, tell your promoter!”
While thats indeed true, it’s a fucking stupid system. There needs to be a network between artists and venues that does not rely on a hierarchal 3rd party (promoters) to be the guarantor
Elevator pitch: we build a network of venues willing to run sales splits that create a drive-able route for a van tour. The route can be repeated again and again with whatever tour we can put together and each tour gets the same deal with the same route. Consistency is the key
I hate to sound like a communist but wtf. The capitalist machine turned music into just another game of the top 5% winning and everyone else can suck eggs.
