Well im gonna assume you never seen them when they were The Farewell Effect then, seeing as they were the biggest joke this scene has had in a while. They were playing bad Stereo Skyline Bsides and acted like they were bigger than Stereo.

Except for the fact that the one time i saw you guys he needed to set up all your equipment, tune everything and basically was the only person standing infront seeing as he needed to tell you guys what to do.

I still think they are amazing and am really glad to see something good come out of the scene. One of only a few good things lol

p.s. hotel of the laughing tree rules too!

Hey man are you in a band? Do you know how hard it is to do things like this? Have you ever thought that working with a higher-end producer can take a band to the next step in their career? If you do not part take in playing in a band you should shut your mouth. Learn and respect. I bet they achieve there goal and they'll be on their way to a long successful career.

Yes i completely understand this and when a band is ready i completely agree they should do it, but it is different when you are basically begging people for money so you can go record a cd. It is more respectable to go play for change at Penn Station then doing this crap.

Got owned? Sorry if im distracting you from begging more morons to give you their hard earned money so you can go record your new album.

Did i hurt your feelings Russell? Now go back to making some terrible electronic music that no one will ever checkout!

I bet these guys would do exactly that. They work their asses off. When something or someone is good, just come out and admit it. I'm sure these boys only get payed maybe $100 each show and what good does that do? Covers gas. Trying to save money as a band is very difficult at times. There is van updates to make sure the vehicle is working fine, gas, practice space rentals, van insurance and etc. All these things add up. The higher paying gigs are hard to get. Colleges usually pay the most money but still its hard to even get those. Listen to the good words of Aretha Franklin my friend: RESPECT.

Then how come i don't see any respectable bands asking people for donations just so they can do something every band does like record a cd?

Please elaborate. In your eyes, who are some respectable bands?
