Pay-to-Play GO AWAY

You may have seen our facebook post about the predatory practice called pay-to-play and the recent uprising against it in our local community, but if not, here it is:

"In light of the recent upheaval regarding Pay-To-Play style promotion of shows, Dreadful Sounds would like to extend the following offer to any/all bands who are subjected to such predatory practices:
We will handle your ticket sales for you at NO EXTRA CHARGE.
If you hate trying to hustle around and annoying 50 people to buy tickets, and feeling pressure from promoters, let us do the work for you. You can just drop them off at the store,and tell your fans to come buy them here. We will also help promote your show through Facebook and flyers in the store.
You can also set up an in-store show. You may not get paid but your fans can come and see you for free WITHOUT all the hassle. We are open to all types of heavy/loud/independent/underground/local music, so don't be afraid to hit us up.
Please SHARE this as much as possible and on any local/regional band's page that is subjected to this type of thing.
THANK YOU!"


You may have also heard of some of the protesting that occurred yesterday, if not, here is a link to the inaugural post in RageFancy .

 Keep up the good work, Columbus!  Dreadful Sounds loves you all.
