Excuse me?

I have always paid my bands, sometime out of my own pocket!
Bar takes first $100 off the door, rest gets divvied up among the bands according to draw (that's of course, providing we make door, which is about 14 paying clients at the $7 admission cover).

Anyone who dares to accuse me of otherwise is a liar. Just ask the bands that have worked with me over the years.

I don't make the big bucks doing this. Being a booking agent is not a glamourous lifestyle. I always show bands the draw sheet and explain how payout works. I've tracked down bands to mail them their payment. I communicate. I answer all questions.

Oooh, so someone's mad I chose the title "F*ck the Fire Dept". Big deal. Sure, maybe it's in bad taste. But, honey, controversy sells, and it gets people's attention. No publicity is bad publicity. I'm not exactly in the closet about a (strong dislike for the govt., society, and how it's taking away our enjoyment of life and our freedoms, etc). I'm entitled my opinion, just like you are entitled to yours.

I'm not against firefighters...just against bullshit that is costing me and all my staff our jobs. Not cool. Cops, politicians, and city officials should just mind their own biz and let rock and roll remain free and unfettered. Because some moronic hair band shot off pyrotechnics in a nightclub 3-5 years ago, my ass is going to out of work and another great venue supporting non-mainstream genre bands is eradicated.

We need to band together and build the scene.

Love,
~The Queen of Shock & Controversy
