GAY Who are the Flatboi Downs - Part III
- Thread starter HipHugHer
- Start date
The Spartanburg gig deserves a dishonorable mention. Venue owner set up a $50 bar tab for us, three sober alcoholics. Usually we can parlay that into food but the food concession is a separate corporation. So I spent $30 feeding me and the drummer.
Brewery owner basically fired us after the 1st set. "You're so loud I can't hear conversation at the bar..."
Yeah so? We're a rock band what the fuck skeeter.
It was the body language more than the words.
So we played at chamber music attack levels for the rest of the evening.
When asked how the levels had changed and if it was acceptable, Brewery guy just said "You need to learn how to gauge a room. And you should have brought a bussload of patrons...". What the fuck? We brought 13 people, and we live 60 to 75 miles away. Don't blame us for your failing business.
He paid.
We completed our contract and left.
The goober vacated the premises before we were even done.

Playing Ballantyne on the roof deck tomorrow night. Free food, good contract pay and usually our tip jar gets stuffed full.

Puts the "pro" in procrastination
You couldn't sing us a song, because you could only hummus one?
Lol. I thought it was super funny to play an entire gig with a perceived shitstain on my crotch.
These black widows didn't care. They don't look at people who drive up in 11 year old Priuses.
So BL (band leader) booked us into a redneck chickenwire joint and they denied the booking. I had just loaded up the Prius and got the call halfway out of the HOA. No big thang, I put away my Tony Lamas and Stetson and unloaded the car.
No one ever died for lack of Merle Haggard.

Chickenwire gig fell through. I was a last second swap into Botox Nation, the Irish pub down south. Good show!
