I just saw a email from a booking company (big one) that actually has acts (that really no one has heard of) that dont have more then 30 minutes to show. So the showcase has to be shorter then 30 minutes. For fuck sake what is this.

Yes i have been wondering what the booking agencys actually achive these days. The word seems to be NOTHING. The bands i have myself on booking agencys im really consider to withdrawn. Today (at least in sweden)  these companies is totally useless, all of them. They would probably fuck up to book a simple thing like U2.

Its no wonder that kids today seeks music outside the live venues. The traditionell live scene is really dying.

Well artists you really dont need a booking agency.
