I have a gripe with local bands who don't respond to messages, emails, whatever. I mean, really? I'm promoting you and you could care less. I'm trying to offer you a show and you're not interested. Are you that cool? Really? I've had national acts and really big bands who respond to me.

I really just have little respect for bands like you.

Sadly, some times it's the more experienced bands that know that it's support from EVERY level, local and national, that helps make a career sustainable.

Though to play devil's advocate, they could just be local schmucks who haven't figured out how to check and respond to email in a timely matter...

I've promoted them on my site many times and sent them myspace messages telling them i enjoyed their shows and they responded once about something completely unrelated. Thats another thing i hate. Don't respond to what I'm asking you. So annoying. Anyway that proves they can respond but chose not too. In fact I've spoken to them in person and they weren't very friendly then either. Like really? You're a local band. You all have day jobs. Relax.

I really wish more bands would realize that its important to interact with people. Especially those who are trying to support you and get the word out! I mean wouldn't you WANT that? ugh i don't get it.

Musicians like that will continue to be the reason that music business jobs still exist. No people skills? Get a manager and publicist STAT.
