Hey jonyak' date=' if you don't mind, how much was your band paid for the gig? I'm curious what the pay scale is like for opening acts, especially the local ones.
Any other tidbits you feel like sharing from your experience would be great too!
Glad you had a great time and congratulations on the gig. Was just too early for me to make it out.

Well, we got paid $1500, got a trailer full of snacks and such, we got a food voucher for the backstage catering buffet (very good) and free beer all day... and festival passes, and backstage passes for the day. It was awesoem.
I partied a bit with the band of neko case, great guys, great band. Neko stayed in her tour bus all day. All the stage crew was awesome, great guys, happy, made us sound awesome.
I was told that by the guitarist from neko case that we need ot have a rider for next year if we get to play, because we could have gotten alot more perks than what we did apparently. they had whiskey and stellas and wine in there trailer.
not much else to tell..
