Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Topic Ratings Printable Version Translate Topic

   I do a few shows in NC. So Im all for gaining more exposure. But there is this booking agency called AFTON. They do shows here in the US (not sure about UK but they have another part also so watch out). I almost got scammed by em till i did my homework. They are shady as hell. They do crazy shit like quadruple book shows, they dont promote, you have to pay to play and what you make from the show NEVER is more than u paid. But once they get paid they dont give a john brown bout what u do. Just passin the word onso the next man wont get got like some have.

Moral to the story, use a business mind when handlin biz and do like Beyonce and "CHECK UP ON EM"

	I havent started shows yet, but I'm very cool with people who set up events like this. When I get some original tracks complete, I will start making some good side money for just one night. I hate working with anybody involved with MUSIC that I have no kinda background with cause they WILL usually take full advantage of the artist. I'm an artist that doesn't take bullshit though. I'm overall laid back, but I will raise hell if someone tries to fuck me, and I'm always sceptical about signing anything. I'm not an industry cat at all. Someone's gettin' screwed back if I get screwed. If they do something not involved in contract, property will be damaged. We'll both lose money. And if there's no "property"/person in physical I can't see, then I'm not fuckin with em in the first place anyway. Does Afton state everything you just said in the contract?
