I will always have your back brother, in business and in life.
 

of course it is not professional to do it, but I'm the type that would have called out the band in question. Blaque is 110% correct in what he has written here. Bands understand how hard it is out here to make a buck so any and all possible help from locals and venues is always a plus. Remember this people, listen to what Mr. Blaque has said and the band you enjoyed seeing will always want to return to your town.

Great post brother

 

It was very sad indeed to witness what occurred last night. That is disheartening to see happen to local bands let alone friends.

This is where out-of-state bands are in need of a tour manager to verify the contract and what is to be expected and can be reasonably delivered by both the band and venue. I think the lack of communication on both sides is what complicated the situation. Hopefully this will be a learning lesson for both sides in the future events.

In the end the fans are the ones who ultimately pay for what occurred. Either by not seeing a band rebook an event in the same area again or paying an exuberant amount to see that band due to their expected performing cost.

 

 

It was quite sad to see.
 

Hell yeah bro! You know we have your back! I wish I could have stayed later.
 

Good fucking post.  Unfortunately, the night before that was the same bullshit in lakeland (without the threats of physical altercation of course).  Everyone indeed has lost sight of why we all got into this music thing so long ago, and I personally, nor will Lakeland Metal Scene, ever book another national act again.  Sad.
