The belief that touring is a panacea really cracks me up. Touring does not make money for indie musicians. Maybe for the top 1% or less, fine - there are always anecdotes - but far, far more common is the kind of tour where you save up money, sleep on couches or share a motel 6 bed with a bandmate, eat crappy food, play to mostly empty rooms to people that are turned away from you talking to their friends, for a door fee that doesn't cover your food and gas money. And that's for good musicians. The bad musicians don't tour. |
