Working - Cock Sparrer

PFRPoseurs starter kit?
It's the latest thing nowadays, and has been for a while now, come to think about it - begging on the Internet. Gone are the days of working hard and being prideful of one's self accomplishments - nowadays it's all about standing around with one's virtual hand extended and just expecting people to do things for you out of the kindness of their heart or just because. Happens all the time in the Punk Rock community with bums begging for tickets or festival passes or gigs for their shitty bands to play. Locally it's nauseating watching these talentless bands from the East side who wanna play the big shows with the big bands go on Facebook event pages and just beg to be put on the bill. Doesn't matter if they're good or not, doesn't matter if they draw or not - Hell, it doesn't even matter if they're nice people or not, all that matters is that their shitty band gets to open the "cool" gig and that they don't have to pay to get into the gig. Their friends don't have to pay either, because they just get added to the bands guest list and walk in the door for free. Nice little scam. The Dive bar is the worst. Every event they post on Facebook the same shitty band with the same shitty cunts as members get their shitty friends to go "Get so and so to open this gig, the blankety blank band would be great on this gig", and the crusty Promoter there goes 'OK' and the next thing you know you got a mini festival on your hands. Pathetic. The funniest justification for a band to open a gig that I read was the wife of a dooshbag drummer here in town going on Facebook and saying "My husbands other band played one of the current band members wedding years ago, so it would be perfect for my husbands current band to open up this gig." hahahahaha Lame AND pathetic. Doesn't matter that flyers and tickets and handbills have been printed up, all that matters is getting on the bill by any means necessary, right? Right! How about we stop trying to be everybody's friend and being so gawd damn PC that we're afraid to say 'no' to anybody, because words hurt, and let's get back to putting on gigs with GOOD bands and bands that deserve to be on the bills and bands that are interesting and lively and, oh, I dunno, drama free if that's possible. Can we do that? Is that a thing? Your band begs to be on a bill, you suck - end of story. Earn that shit. Work, bitches.
