No fucking way you could get Lil Jon for ten grand, right?

beachville, Thursday, 23 February 2012 19:14 (thirteen years ago)

I'm guessing.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 February 2012 19:22 (thirteen years ago)

13 grand for Gayngs?! Really?

Ham House showdown (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 23 February 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)

i'm glad this fundraiser festival raised so much money necessary for the charitable organizations.

Kind of surprised the melvins don't get more

I'm sure the butthole surfers don't want to play so they ask for some ridiculous amount and see if the promoter bites

dave coolier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 25 February 2012 21:11 (thirteen years ago)

why wouldn't they want to play, considering they recently did a nationwide tour?

sarahell, Saturday, 25 February 2012 21:28 (thirteen years ago)

That can't be the Three Degrees of Philly Intl. fame, can it? They're still basically 2/3 intact, no way they should be getting 1/2 as much as, say, Vaud And The Villains.

henry s, Saturday, 25 February 2012 23:54 (thirteen years ago)

It's quite possible some of these acts got part of their fee upfront; this is what is still owed.

ρεμπετις, Sunday, 26 February 2012 06:15 (thirteen years ago)

wait, did any of these bands actually perform?

sarahell, Sunday, 26 February 2012 10:30 (thirteen years ago)

the 2012 festival never happened.

rayanne graff generator (get bent), Sunday, 26 February 2012 11:57 (thirteen years ago)

i mean 2011.

rayanne graff generator (get bent), Sunday, 26 February 2012 11:58 (thirteen years ago)

were all the contracts the same? were all the acts entitled to their full fees if the promoter cancelled the gig? since they didn't actually perform, perhaps the amounts due should have been less?

sarahell, Sunday, 26 February 2012 17:23 (thirteen years ago)

Art Brut $8000.00
