How to Jumstart Live Music Industry Localy

sIMPLE...

EVERYTIME YOU PLAY ASK FOR somekind of compensation. SHOW US THE TF! (talent Fee)

If every Band, music performer just do this simple rule, we will have a booming LIVE music industry here in Cebu. It will only be called industry if the Artist and bands get money out of every GIG!

Ask for TF! dont be ashamed it is your right! you play they pay! simple. set a TF for yourselves.

If you dont Organizers will exploit any band. and then bands will say struggling artist me...well You did that to yourselves! ask whats due to you!

IT IS high time to ask for the TF!

During the Lokal Ground time and late 90' almost all bands ask for TF and organizers have no choice but to give whats due. In return it rubs off with the organizers also to treat bands fairly and forced their shows to be competitive and have extra quality. The Audience also benefits for a quality show everytime.

Dont ever fall for ... Wla Budget Bros, kaun ra. or Mahal man gud among main bands, or pang exposure ba! this is BULL! its the fast tract to being EXPLOITED! everytime.

Get someting out of the gig. a good deal or something. Dont leave with out getting something in return. Eventually, the artist are paying the Organizers for them to play. Here the economics: Travel fare for every member, payment for practice studio, or if you have your own practice room compensation for all equipments you bought, time and effort to arrange songs or origs, foods. then you go out there and play to a gig that you are treated unfairly, poorly organized, then your lucky if you ever get a THANK YOU card from the organizers. hehehe YOU do the MATH. You Artist is Loosing money every time you do freebie gig!

Then maybe its for the love of musiic and performing... Yes thats true, but in the long run...you'll forget that, your fellow member will have other things on his mind other than For the LOve. You'll go hungry eventually and if its not compensated... NO MORE BAND.

There may be exception, Benefit shows, movement shows, special shows..... hey but thats more than 50% of any gig out there. Might as well ask honorarium on those too. maybe half your usual TF...But from organizers point of view lets make every show a benifit show and only give Honorarium. HAH! were back at being exploited! see?

ANd also most importantly, this forces the bands or artist to step up with their music and performance because you are PAID NOW. So WIN WIN for all, the Organizers, Performers, and The Audience.

Better Artists more TF, with TFs Organizers forced to make quality Shows, Entry Fee may be higher but based also on audience market in turn Audiences experience Quality Shows and Gig.

SUPPORT OUR LOKAL ARTIST AND MUSIK.

naka point bro

@clyde2586 sakto sad ka everyone needs tf pero unsaon na man sa mga newbie for example an organizer needs one band then naay band A (ilado na) and band B (newbie) both nangayo ug TF to have a good gig band A na ang pilion sa organizer kay mas daghan nakaila sa banda although naa sad chance maka tukar ang band B with TF but i doubt it kung ang mga kadungan kay mga ilado na nga banda

ganahan ra nako i share... but i would go for PRO-TF hehehe...

Yes because thats the state of matters karun...kun ipadayun ang status quo de gyud ni mausab na systema.

What im suggesting is not na dretsu para sa mga newbies, yup wala pa kaayo nailhan, pero hinayhinay ug ask sa TF. Kun dinagko na gigs especially with entrance fee angayan gyud mu ngayu TF. Thats surely a form ug exploitation if wala mu bahin or TF nya naka kwarta ang organizer.

Kun newbie sad ka, na naaka passion you will progressively improved your music and performance everytime. This is the sureway na mailhan. Its not playing everytime na same ra wala improvement. A good way also is to join the bandwagon unsay uso. Pero sa kadaghan sad ninyo ani you will have to double the effort to be better sa kapariha ninyo.In Music industry safety in numbers is miss leading. Yup naana daan market pero your always be like the others. dha ramo. If you want ma ilhan dayun you have to step up and be innovative enough plus excellent performance. Then TFs come your way bsag d paka mangayo organizers will offer.

Dont be afraid to ask TF, its a double edge knife mansad. Asking TF will make an impression on Organizers that lahi gyud inyo music or performance, better than kato deli mangayo, sure na. But you also have to deliver. hehehe

However there are many forms of TF or Compensation. Pwedy X-DEAL or someting. Kun bars kun deli cla hatag TF but naay entrance then ask sa organizer na a percentage of the sales or entrance goes to the bands. Ang ponto lang ani kinahanglan sabot tanan bands about this to be effective.

You have to start somewhere...
