PAY TO PLAY, BATTLE OF THE BANDS - more of it! Just don’t do it!
Current mood: angry
Category: Music

Woooooooooooo, this is a good one, can't ignore this one that just came in, win yourselves a paid gig!!

That;s right, just because we haven't mention Pay to Play or forced ticket buys or battle of the bands type crap in a few weeks, not since the My Space police deleted our No 2 Pay 2 Play page, doesn't meen we've given up raging against that one... ALL THE OLD BITS THAT MY SPACE TOOK DOWN ARE TO BE FOUND OVER AT http://organart.freeforums.org/index.php go join in over there

Look at this one from someone who just sent us a friends request, you can win an actual paid gig! Imagine that you bands! The prize is a gig you get paid to play!!!

"W** F***** will be held over 6 monthly heats resulting in a final later on next year (date to be confirmed). Heat winners will receive a gig guide in the ****Magazine & a spot on ***** Radio plus a DVD of the performance on the night. OVERALL TOP ACT WILL WIN: A paid gig at The Morton Arms!! (THAT'S A PAID GIG YOU BANDS, HOPE YOU'RE ALL JUMPING FOR THAT ONE!!!), A full profile review in the **** magazine . This is a great opportunity for up and coming acts to showcase themsleves locally, do not underestimate what this exposure can do for you. Get yourself seen! To register yourself, your band, your act email **** @ ***** FIRST HEAT 8TH OCTOBER 2008 8PM to take part contact or call 0*** 6** ****"

and while we're here, you bands please don't post flyers for your Pay To Play/forced ticket buy gigs on our My Space page, by playing these gigs you become part of the problem - why the hell are you bands playing for scumbags like T****** S**** anyway? Sometimes I think some of you bands deserve what you get.

NEW BANDS, TAKE NOTE, GO READ THE ORGAN FORUMS ON THIS OVER AT http://organart.freeforums.org/index.php - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY, NEVER EVER PAY TO PLAY, THE SHOWS ARE ALWAYS BADLY PROMOTED, THEY'RE ALWAYS CRAP AND YOU WON'T GET A THING OUT OF THEM, YOU JUST SOIL YOUR NAME BY BEING ON THEIR BILLS AND YOU END UP WASTING A LOAD OF TIME AND MONEY!

How that win a paid gig one going ot work then? it will be something like you bands all enter the heats and get paid nothing, They work out which one of you has the most mates wiling to pay to see you, who's friends drink the most at the bar, then they let you through to the next heat and the next one - and then when they've take nther piss as much as they can they finally look and see who they can make the most monry out of they let them "win" and pay that winning band a little bit of the door/bar money whe nthier friends all turn up and pay to get in to see them at the triumphant winners gig - easy, and you do all the shouting and promoting and spaming and they do nothing besides count the cash...

Don't fall for any of it you bands, none of it ever gets you anywhere, just get your music out to people and let your music do the talking...
