ericheartsu Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 she is what ruins punk rock for me. if you don't know who she is, she is the booking agent who books gaslight anthem, the draft, smoke or fire, fake problems, and more she is a total fucking cunt.

ericheartsu Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 honestly most booking agents are super pleasent to work with. but i hate having to argue over money for bands that i'm personally friends with and that i feed and let stay at my house. that fact that i'm called unproffesional for knowing all of the shows said band has played in my town, as well as their draw makes me super mad!

xlovecolouredx Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 most book agency always thinking about money money and money. and most of 'em a solid enemy of d.i.y. show (especially you are a band who wanna play in thailand by do it yourself concert but agent disagree because they won't receive any buck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 hahaha man i have a great story involving her. My friend Lee (vocalist of Treephort & lazer Attack, and owner of the Swayzes Venues in GA and AL) got a call from her, she wanted him to book the draft. He was interested so he let her go on. She wanted some ridiculous amount of money for the show on like a tuesday, and he told her they wouldn't draw enough to cover that amount. She went off telling him he didnt know what the hell he was talking about. So he asked her to put the phone to her vagina, because what would come out of it would probably make alot more sense than what was coming out of her mouth.

Ask Marty about her. I can't remember what happened, but there was an incident involving them and he hates her. It wasn't even his show.

counterfiction Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm not being sexist but it seems that every single female booking agent is a total bitch. I've worked with a lot of them and the only ones that I've ever had problem with were women. Try Susanne at Flowerbooking. Talk about C-U-N-T.

dante3000 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I always wonder about situations like this with certain booking agents and managers. I've heard a few stories and always wondered why bands stick with these people who seem to be detrimental to their career. I'm sure they can be quite helpful sometimes, but I've heard some who have basically lost bands record contracts and a number of shows and I just can't imagine what they tell the band in order to keep their business.

I'm sure they can be quite helpful sometimes, but I've heard some who have basically lost bands record contracts and a number of shows and I just can't imagine what they tell the band in order to keep their business. From what I've seen there's a lot of venues who won't take you seriously in the least without a booking agent so they're helpful in that regard. Booking agents also come with their own set of connections, which again is very helpful. So I think they can be quite an addition if they're good people with good intentions. Therein lies the issue as most people aren't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericheartsu Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 the thing is amy is a great agent. but i feel like she does not understand where the bands she books is coming from. some of that is partially the bands fault. but the fact still remains, im a small DIY promoter. i am not a club with a bar that can make up money. all of my money if i loose at the show comes from my pocket.
