?First They ignore You.
Then They laugh at You.
Then They fight You.
Then You win.?
you can fight all you want... but we about to win. On and off stage. This is about the music. who's playing thier instruments and who getting away with that "Bullshit"!
Some venues aint doing thier job to bring people in the house. they trying to be 930 club in 5 years without the over 20 year grind. they preying on the aspirations of Chocolate City artist and making them work like slaves. good artists. people who deserve to get more than $15 at the end of the night from a pompous outta town booking person who shall remain nameless. its insulting. and i dont care if only 20 people showed up. they paid $10 to get in. they drank. the ate. most of all they had a good fucking time and came out to see the music they love. so many variables factor in on whos gonna show up to see anybodys band. whatever the case, and whoever showed up they generated more than a respectful amount to give a band who worked hard to make the night happen. especially when the club did nothing. funk that. and that whats going on aat some veneus in town. wtf? who dont know that?
meanwhile, these terrible fucking hobby bands, work place environment formed, frehs outta high school. commericial industr immitation, post 911 pop culture, blaxploitation mocking (thats deep!), paper thin bands get the big stages?
that shit is horrible. come on! that aint no rock n roll. and serving liquor makes everybody jump drunk, so people acting a fool aint proof those bands are rocking. and they damn sure aint outrocking no REAL heart and soul Rock Band. real talk.
its about the music. music is our job. theres a responsibility that come along with that. shit, we cant let super-capitalism rape and pillage everything. indie music is progressive and groundbreaking. too much 'artsy' bullshit is being approved. shit, we supposed to actually be PLAYING our instruments, right?
Chcoolate City Muscians and all Artist Unite against that buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit!
