I’m gonna rant here for a while. If you in a local band you should read this, because I just might be taking to you. There have sprung up a handful of bands in this area that think they are the greatest band in the land. Granted they have a few fair songs but that’s about as far as it goes. They portray the attitude that they do not have to pay their dues like every other band who is struggling to keep things moving. These few bands have come across my path and made me realize that there are definitely a group of people that do not deserve our attention. I know buy printing this they are in turn getting our attention, but that is why their names have been omitted. Further more these few bands in a sea of wonderful, extremely talented and hard working bands have put a scar on the face of our scene and must be removed before they destroy it even more. I speak of bands who can bring in a mere 20-30 people and demand hundreds of dollars for there lack luster performance. The clubs have been wise enough to see that there was no promise in this band and did the appropriate thing, gave them $20 and sent them along their way, back to there home and pizza delivery jobs. Another incident caused by the same nameless band erupted into a fight which spilled out into the back lot of another club, led by their so called manager. It’s actions like these that will undoutbly get this band attention along with keep them from playing any club in the area. This article or rant as it is called will most defiantly find its way into the hands on the bands that I speak of. And once again they will crank up the bullshit factory and tell the locals that they backed me into a corner and put me in my place. But the reality is they will once again sit in the corner of a darkened club, throw labels from their beer bottles at me, and run and hide when I approach them or call their name. I wonder what goes through the mind of a simpleton at this level. Does he think he is part of the next Korn, Metallica of Limp Bizkit? How could somebody be so foolish as to carry out these actions and tarnish any sliver of credibility that the band has. This industry like any other has a great deal of learning built into it. You must know when, where and how to act at all times. The music business is a cut throat one and I will do all in my power to cut the throat of these bands. They are a pestilence on our land. They are an evil that should be destroyed at all costs. This type of band should not be allowed to continue.
