Pyramid Schematic (rant)

Supernova makes me fucking sick. Promoters are supposed to be out there, doing their job. They're supposed to book gigs at venues, put up posters... Exposure, that's the promoters job. Rather than doing their fucking job properly, Supernova get a bunch of kids to run around town selling tickets, making money for them. They have to do little to no promotion of any kind. In the end, bands don't get paid, but some unnamed judge decides which one did the best job and gives them maybe a day of recording time, which might cost 300$. They claim that booking 10 bands brings in 10 bands worth of friends, except nobody sticks around for longer than an hour. Supernova shows are a good way to play a set in front of your friends, something you can do yourself at a party.

If you're going to run around town trying to get money from your friends and family, you might as well call up Vector and start selling knives door to door. Nobody wants to sell knives door to door.
