Done many gigs lately, alongside many bands. We're all paid expenses, or just above, if lucky. That's normal, moreso with less folk going to gigs, the greed crisis contributes obvs. Study shows 1/4 of musicians r thinking of quitting due to low of earnings https://t.co/b6u2jvhpoj
Tis the week where bands share their Shitify stats. My band @tvfaceband saw an uptick in stats due to loadsa work. Will I share the stats? No! Why? They pay almost nadda per stream + next year will pay exactly nothing to 2/3 of bands #fckshitify#regulatestreamingservices
