Bridging the Music: Scam or legitimate?

[2.6kHz]

A long read, but pretty damn entertaining!

Rule #1 of the music business: never pay anyone to make you sell tickets. I'm hardly a seasoned road warrior and I learned that hour 1 of first practice. Some have told me to never sell tickets directly at all.

If a promoter prints a single poster, and sticks it on wall in some dark dingy alley, he promoted you, even if there was zero chance of any breathing human being actually seeing it or knowing about it. Grey area in the law. All they have to to is make some kind of attempt.

A lot of this stuff is spelled out in the contract there, if you agreed to that, I feel sorry for you. I did not even get half way through it before I said "not a chance in hell." Remember that south park episode? ALWAYS READ THE AGREEMENT! I'm not crapping cuttlefish into someone else's mouth, no way!

I am willing to read the entire agreement, word for word, if I can get to it. No one should sign anything without doing that, or having an attorney do it for them, but I would be very interested in doing so.

Earlier in the thread there is a link to BTM s website. Besides being full of paid services for musicians to utilize, there may be a contract. Im too old to figure out how to link. Sorry

Hopefully BM would be so kind.

I went on the site, but was unable to get to the contract. BM, if you could provide me with a valid link to the full contract itself, I would be VERY interested in reading it.

SHOCKING

It seems that B.M. has left the building.

Maybe this isn't what you mean since this info was posted earlier in the thread, but here are a couple of links just in case:

The info is different depending on which area you're in. To change your selected area, go to top menu under "Band Sign Up Form".

Call me "juvenile" but I've posted a link to this thread on his fb page. He's going to delete it... but wth! Perhaps you might do it later...

We aren't in the UK. We are in Florida at the moment because we flew out to run the FL Solo Artist Awards to see everyone play this weekend. We even made videos for all the Arists and posted on our youtube. We love music and support Artists as much as possible. Thanks!
