The decision to have 5 practices a week, was because I rented a venue.. yes.. I wanted to sound good during practice to not expect surprises live once we can all hear each other! NOBODY takes the time or money to do that, and these guys know it.. I presented them with a package, and gigs and a good paying rate per gig, and they ALL seem thrilled about it, that´s what they all say.. but when the time comes the issues start.
Have you heard of any bands that came out of Bolivia ? NOPE, and these are the reasons why.
Anyways I decided to pay them for rehersals. Thanks for your post. |
For the amount of money you will be spending on the venue, and to pay these guys to practice, it may be more cost effective to have some cats fly in from elswhere for the shows. Argentina has a GREAT music scene, and Brazil isn't to shabby either. In any case, good luck, and hang in there.
