Bands Beware

[Scott Weber]

The Warped Tour (http://www.warpedtour.com) recently posted the following message on their web site:
If your band has been contacted by Lou Galluch (lou.galluch@gmail.com) about playing the Vans Warped Tour, do not respond to him. He has not received permission from the Vans Warped Tour to have a stage or to book bands on the 2006 tour. We are in the process of dealing with the situation.

[rcrook]

that sucks you get an email thinking u get to play warped tour and it turns out that it is all a scam

[muzicbiz00]

who the hell is Lou Gallach, never heard of him before.

[jfb392]

Why would you do that?
Maybe they find it sexually arousing, to trick bands starting off?
I see no reason to do it, except that you're an idiot with too much time.

who the hell is Lou Gallach, never heard of him before.

he runs Brandname Records (Driving East, The Letters Organize) and he also helped run the East Coast Indie Stage at Warped last year

[Drew Beringer]

It's been crazy few months for Kevin, with the bands pretending to be on the tour to get free merch to this guy scamming bands.

[rcrook]

[quitmyscene]

[frankpistol]

I wonder which bands fell for it

[aminorthreat55]

That's lame.

[tiny222]

aww.
i'd be way sad if my band (if i was in one) got an email from this dude. & got excited. just to get let down.
what an evil man.

[TyroneShoolaces]

i think it's kinda funny

[Brraaad]

I hope Lou got diahorrea for christmas.

ha here here, i believe it was that man that called me earlier this year about doing something for one of the larger stages for my band. what a deutche bag. it's alright i'll just have to sign his email up for a bunch of black man gay porn. or maybe some old lady stuff....decisions decisions

[Bodyjar Rocks]

It sucks when you are too presumptious and look like a chump. Ouch.
