Even though you're in Indiana and I'm in Texas, yelling won't let me hear what you're saying any better.

A. TURN OFF THE CAPITALS!

B. Contract? If so, you got a case. No contract, you're lucky they gave you three month's notice.

another +1 to the contract. if you don't have one, you have nothing.

but really, i can't blame the band for going for the bigger show. as long as they weren't jerks about. luckily you have lots of time to grab another band for the bill. if you're willing to help out with travel costs i could see if my band would be down (not out of the question - we're doing a one-off show in idaho next month)

I hope you have a contract. They still gave you three months notice.

SECOND OPINION

I appreciate the caps- I don't feel like going upstairs for my old guy reading glasses.
More on-topic, I'm not a huge metal fan so I don't much care.

Contract

I had a verbal agreement and I had a written agreement through email. And yes that would hold up in court! My day job I am a construction supervisor; and any time you send an email it can be held up in court as a binding contract. I have seen companies take clients to court and win with something written on a place mat of a restaurant! I'm just not that kind of guy. As for the band shame on them! You don't back out of a deal! They have upset a lot of people and have wasted my time and money.

Well... it sucks, but at least it happened with a few months to go.

I've had the same thing happen days or even HOURS before the show started.

Where were they booked to play in Lafayette? I grew up there and got out for college/beyond.

Fun fact: The band I played in played a very successful show at Memorial Island a full year BEFORE Maguire started having summer concerts there. Twas a blast.
