[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1222982"]For us it depends on the show. There are occasionally smaller gigs with lower cover charges ($5 - $7 range) where we still make an exception to play a show being put on by one our friends' bands or because it's good exposure even as an underground show, despite no guarantees, and on the other side there are really big shows where we'll play with a national even though there's also no guarantee in that case, also for the exposure. For other shows we headline, where it's on a weekend and particularly where we play a super long set or bring a PA for all the bands or work our butts off to draw/sell tickets despite the guarantee being there - or a combination of all three at the same time - it's not unreasonable to get a guarantee. Same goes for a show where we play all night or there's only one opening band playing a short set. However, we played a LOT of shows paying our dues before we could do that, and as I mentioned it's still important at any level short of a major label deal to be open to playing shows without guarantees as well or a band is needly closing themselves off to potential exposure.[/QUOTE]
