Re: Will they work for free!

[Mark Suszko] "Modern bands don't try to make their money off album sales anymore: the albums are more or less given away, "

This might be somewhat true for a handful of major acts, but for 99.9% of touring bands, it's the exact opposite. Most bands nowadays have to come to the table of a record deal with a proven product that has sold "at retail price" upwards of 10,000 units. Granted retail price is subjective, but most bands I know including my own are selling CD's for $10-15. Since venues pay less and less these days, bands need to charge a decent amount for product to make any money at all.
