[QUOTE="Yeti:1223088"]local band playing local show + asking for guarantee = band that thinks they are better than the others. i firmly disagree with asking for a guarantee unless you are on a major label and can draw a phenomenal crowd. even drawing 30 people to a local show isn't guarantee worthy, you get a cut of the door. Asking for a "guarantee" means you "guarantee" to make it worth the club's while. and after playing a mountain of local shows with countless local bands, chances are you aren't going to fulfill that. not that no one can, but the odds are that you are going to promise the world, and not come through. If you are specifically asked by a “promoter” to play a show that is further than you would normally drive, and it really does equal extra work on your part to make it happen, asking for a “guarantee” of gas money isn’t totally unethical. I’ll use Metal Thursday simply as an example here, but say you have your name out there and have contacted Chris to play, then he offers you a slot, it’s a decent drive from where you live, then to ask for a guarantee would be absurd. You contacted him. were it vice versa, then asking for some gas coverage would be ok in my eyes. It’s a tricky situation, but overall your band probably isn’t going to draw like you think you can unless you are in your home town, and asking for a guarantee then would be just plain silly. Get off your high horse, this is local music, if you don’t want to play without being paid, then have fun never playing. Unless your CSDO, then you are floating in a sea of pennies.[/QUOTE]
