[QUOTE="xmikex%20bored%20at%20work:396364"]I played a battle of the bands once. It was cool because I was 16, and it was my first show. I almost got roped into another one when I was 18. Then I realized what a huge waste of time it is. The idea is either to make money off of little kid bands, and bands full of older dudes that can't get shows anywhere else. Lemme guess, you have to sell tickets right? $10 a ticket with about 20 bands bringing in at least like 30 kids each... that's like $6,000 going straight to the promoter (that $150 doesn't sound so great any more). AND factor in the fact that most of these kids are going to leave right after their friends (or most likely nephew's) band is over. So despite the fact that the promoters can boast a 700+ attendence or something, you might just get stuck with the 20 kids who came to see you (who'd way rather see you at a good show), a small handfull of kids who might actually like your band but won't buy any merch, and another bunch of kids who just want you to get off the stage so the neighborhood ska band can play. I was always pretty picky and pessmistic about shows, so don't take me too seriously. But I'd say unless you really need the workout, and it's really that convenient to play it, I'd say screw.[/QUOTE]
