I suggested "Punk As Fuck" as a name. He laughed and said no. I wasn't being serious anyway.
Call yourselves Punk Rock From Venus.

second album? ooh, you guys already have one out?Glad you like them! Our best stuff is the brand new stuff we're writing. Our second album is gonna really be the shit (not to toot my own horn, I just absolutely love our new songs).

awesome. i'd buy a copy when it came outWell, it's in the mixing process. The first one, I mean. Hopefully we're gonna record again in a year or so.
exactly.
oh no, we can't let the lower or middle class have the opportunity to succeed! so we can just do away with the pesky middle class altogether

So, what's the good word?
Oh, and how bad was the closing ceremony? Boy, London's 2012 logo sucks a lot.

At least you're already planning for a second album rather than pulling an October.
Good to know. I believe it'll probably be out by the winter sometime. We still have a few touch ups to record and then mixing and mastering and then actually getting them made.
it's funny you say that, though...one of the departments for where i (sorta?) work is doing that.Let's out-source the middle class's jobs to other countries and then bitch that the cheeky darkies are getting American jobs. Who needs logic!
Ah, coolness. I'd pick up a copy.
Do you guys intend to tour much, or is that not really something on the cards?
Not really in the cards. We can't even come close to any semblance of affording it. We all have friends in bands that tour and they come home even more broke than they left. Venues are cheapskates these days. You could headline a club on a weekend and unless you're well known, you'd have to get 300 people there before you'd even start making money (and that's on $10 entrance).
Ouch, that's pretty harsh. What about getting a support slot for a bigger band? I imagine those aren't the easiest things to come by, but does that pay better at all?
Well, I had friends who were offered the unbelievable chance to open 4 European shows for U2 on the Elevation Tour. I don't know how they came by the opportunity, but I do know that they didn't do it. Why, you might ask? Because they would have had to pay $10,000 just to get the shows, and then pay for their trip there, their hotels while there, for their equipment to be shipped there (and back), and it just wasn't worth it. It might have made their career as a band, but it would have completely broken them financially as people (especially if nothing came of it).
Holy fucking shit, on all counts. That's insane. I thought opening for U2 would have been an undeniably profitable proposition.
And I'm sure they would have been much better than the shitty openers the Elevation Tour ended up having. Like Kelis.
yikesI'm guessing it was because they were really unknown. Probably a more stable/sucky band would've profited. I bet Kings of Leon made a ton of money. Hell, I bet Arcade Fire made a million just off having U2 use their song right before taking the stage. But if an unestablished band goes for it? Well, then I guess it's their right to take up the initiative to get the exposure. And then said band had better fucking impress everyone enough to make them wanna buy a t-shirt and an album so said band's members could eat and buy gas during the tour.

Heh, I wonder how it worked out for Kings Of Leon given how many people bitched about them! But yeah, U2 using Wake Up must've made absolute stacks for Arcade Fire. People were falling all over that track.
See, I would've thought the opening band would have received some sort of payment or split of the ticket profits or whatever.
night andrew!
