We're getting the talent, but we are barely getting the audience. There is a lack of audience which is why I will book hardcore first, because it brings people in. Sometimes I have to go with beer sales to make money. Most of the bands are pretty good and do well at the bar. It's kept in the back of my head, but it doesn't affect what I book a whole lot.
Cover bands have more of a right to say that because they are there to entertain.
This club doesn't make much very much money. We might have a good night, but we do it because we like music. It's not always about profit. Basically, we do that. I always try to put one band on the bill that will definitely draw some bodies.
