Cygnus64 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 There has been some developments that have somewhat vindicated my position.... I think we can safely say that this manager really never had the intention of cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship with us. The most useful tool in any musician's arsenal is intuition.

J. Dan Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 As much as we'd like to think that the bar owners have good business sense, as do the band leaders, when circumstances like this arise that just scream out to you, you have to remember Occum's Razor. Occum's Razor states that the simplest explanation is usually right. The simplest explanation is that the bar owner took advantage of your (not you, your band representative) eagerness to play and the opportunity to get free entertainment. You're right, they're wrong. Done. Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked. Analog and Digital Electronic instruments, reeds, and throat/mouth.

Eric Jx Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Last night, the drummer gets a txt from the venue manager (the same guy who blew him off the night before). It read "so I guess your not playing tomorrow night" The drummer replied "No, I apologize I couldn't get all the guys to play for free even though I know you have made thousands". It's the truth too.

Joe Muscara Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 What a d!ck (the venue manager). He blows you off and then acts like you didn't do something. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Mr. Nightime Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It sounds like the email you sent had the desired effect. The drummer showed he has a pair and stood up to the dick manager. Good for him, and better for your band. Getting OT, why is it So Hard to know the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.

HammondDave Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The drummer got there at the agreed upon time, and was told that the manager was in the basement working on something and would be up soon. A half hour later he was told the manager is still busy and they couldn't tell him when he'd be up but he was welcome to wait. The drummer left. I think we can safely say that this manager really never had the intention of cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship with us. Again... A typical club manager/owner story. The musician goes down to the club to negotiate a fair deal, and the asshole manager is in the basement ignoring the musician's good intention. He is probably getting %{#}%}^ by one of his barmaids and laughing his head off at the musician waiting for him.
