Asked someone who practices 2 rooms down from my band about a venue two states away that they booked.
"Hey what’s the email for this place you’re playing? We’re trying to shore up some tour dates "
“Oh that place is a 300 person cap venue, sorry, I don’t know what your draw is like. Have you tried [other place were waiting to hear from]?”
FUCK YOU YOU PRETENTIOUS FUCK JUST GIVE ME THE GODDAMN EMAIL FUCK YOU AND DIE FUCK YOUR BAND AND FUCK YOU AHHHHHHHHH
Please dont burn yourself out and get jaded like i have, there’s lots of joy to be found but once you do it long enough and get old enough it just fucking sucks and is a pain in the ass
Yeah, all my mates I know who were “In a band” have either moved onto teaching music, or have given up on music entirely.
