Re: Touring/Live
Do you tour until your broke and then go make enough money at Burger King until you can afford to tour again? Damn it, that was a trade secret One of you folks cough up and give us a breakdown of a tour. Money, I try to get a guarantee, usually don't. Usually get the door. When I have a guarantee in writing, someone usually tries to still pay me in whiskey food, fast, sometimes if the club is a restraunt, they will feed us. This is why bookstores are so cool, always good food beer, If we are lucky, but I dought it. Usually if they give us beer, then we can plan on being stiffed on the dough dope, Sometimes we get lucky g Pot and/or whiskey mess with my guitar playing. Makes it even worse. Just can't do that to an audience. If I end up sucking, it is from natural causes. I don't think drummers should ever drink during or before gigs. They totaly suck when they do and tend to drool alot. But all's fair after the show, long as no one get's caught. By the way, some of the best reefer the band ever had was at a military camp gig in Korea. sleeping arrangements, One can hope. Big cars are nice. Once I slept in a dentist chair that was in the "house" provided for us. My guitar player slept on the couch next to me, then moved out to the car because he started itching. We were doing a duet thing, and the bedrooms in the cabin they provided for us were dirty, and each had a can of lice spray on the headboard. gas, see fast food above vehicles, I don't take my car on very long trips, because of how old it is. Rentals, or bandmates or boyfriend. Now all of this is my experience in the United States. I really like touring overseas. Nice big van or bus provided by booker, good guarantee on money, dinner at the club each night, most of the gear provided. One could easily get spoiled. Nancy

Truly, it is amazing how much better the European promoters treat the acts (on the whole) than you get here. Food, rooms, standard. Decent guarantees, great royalties from live performance (gasp!). We toured Europe for years and had great times. I hasten to add that the good guys here do go out of their way to provide whatever they can, but the norm in Europe is better to start with, so it is a pleasant suprise to Americans who go there. Plus, there is the added compensation of being in Paris as opposed to Somewhere With A Denny's. -- Joe Gracey President-For-Life, Jackalope Records http://www.kimmierhodes.com
