Last time I checked this is a band's "job":
-Buy a fuckload of gear
-Practice, practice, practice 2-3x/week
-Load all gear and band members into vehicle(s)
-Travel ___ hours and arrive to show on time
-Unload all said gear
-Wait around for hours to play for 30 minutes (if lucky)
-Break down and reload all gear in vehicle(s)
-Travel____hours back to jam space
-Reload all equipment
You left out--
-Show up late and ask the promoter if anyone has any cymbals, cabs, heads, kick pedals. etc that you can borrow.
-Whine about nobody being there and having to play on a weeknight despite doing no promotion on your own or having anyone come out to see your band.
Do I take this as a shot at my (ex)band or are you just saying in general? I don't believe you ever booked my band. Also, I can honestly say in the 8 years that my shitty band played shows, we never had to borrow equipment (if we did, we just dealt with one of the other bands, not the promoter). We also rarely played weeknights, so no occasion to whine. I've never had any delusions of grandeur about music or "making it". Caring about things is extremely gay.
