attn: people who book shows[views:2041][posts:11]____________________________________ [Jul 13,2011 9:10pm - arilliusbm ""] My buddy Jón's band in Iceland is considering playing some shows over here. They're a newer band and don't have much exposure (especially in the USA), but are interested in coming over here to America to play a few shows. They just want to break even. Would this be possible to line up a few shows sometime where they play? I'm not sure how much it will cost to break even because of the cost of traveling from Iceland, but I know it's one of the cheapest countries to travel to from here because it is a tourist destination. Anyway, here is the band. I know it won't be everyone here's cup o tea, but they are solid dudes. If it garners any interest, I will tell him that we could possibly hook them up with some shows. He said they could come here "anytime." Thanks. bennyhillifier bennyhillifier |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 13,2011 9:48pm - RichHorror ""] The best advice I can give is that they stay home. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 13,2011 9:57pm - arilliusbm ""] haha, that what I figured anyways. I could probably work out a place for them to stay but I doubt it'd be easy to break even. |

| _________________________________________ [Jul 14,2011 10:08am - Josh_hates_you ""] getting the band on shows is easy. getting them paid is not. odds are they need $200 per show and at least 5 shows just to cover plane tickets. considering which bands around here get $200 for a show, good luck. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 14,2011 10:15am - Alx_Casket ""] I wouldn't expect to break even if my band or anyone else's here flew to Iceland and played a few shows. For their wants, it would behoove them to get signed (and marketed) first, to get their name out more before any "international" touring. |
