A question for Nightingale.

[Eliogabalus]

How much money realistically speaking would it take for me to get you guys out here to the US?

Just a ballpark estimate.



EDIT: I'm serious.

Who cares, concerts are overrated. They always sound better on cd.

 

[Tumn]

The experience > the cd.

Sounds like you haven't been around live music much in your life!

lol

Always sounds better live. Only time something sounds better recorded is when it's bad and you clean it up. =)

I must say...
I payed a LOT to see Nightingale live, and it was worth every euro.
It was a mindblowing experience.

 

[Eliogabalus]

I'm still waiting for an answer..

 

[cenzu]

depending on the answer, maybe I should collect money to get nightingale to finland... it's not that far away!

"All expenses payed" that´s our "standard price" for a intresting gig

CCCCHHHHHHIIIIIICCCCCAAAAAGGGGGGOOOOOO!

 

[karpsmom]

Hm, I wonder what the expenses to get you guys out to NYC for a show would add up to.

 

[Eliogabalus]

So .. lets say for two shows.. in the US.. all expenses paid..

More than $10,000?

Keep in mind I have no sense of how much things like this cost.

SHit I would be all over that. I would drive from NC to NYC just to see the show

 

[Eliogabalus]

Find out prices for this:
- the flight for the band and possibly a technician (merch and other people you can hire from the US, would be a bit cheaper).
Keep in mind that they have to pay additional fees for all their equipment. If you get another (good!) band for the show from the US, they can use their drums, that saves already a lot of hassle.)
- a roof over their head
- food/drinks
- transportation within the country
- fees for Visas and paperwork
- some money for the concert itself, possibly
- all money needed to set up a show (probably you should contact The End Records, their US-label, for this): the rent for the venue, amplifiers/sound, light, technicians & stagehands, security, staff, promotion and ticket sale, etc, but this is not paid to the band then, you must deal with label and a booking agency here to organize a concert. Since NG played at ProgPower US, probably these people could be contacted for who´s the right booking agency.
EDIT: best would be they could play with a second band, brings more audience (thus, more efficiency for everything concert-related), for example with November´s Doom or Green Carnation.

They were absolutely great! I want to go to their show in Essen too, next thursday.
Shall I buy you a ticket again

transport, food & drinks, accomodations: i'm sure fans would love to supply this for free!

plane tix are expensive

 

[Naglfar]

Would probably be easier to find a venue in a city, say NYC, that has been scheduled far in advance and doesn't have an opening act set for a headlining band. Happens all the time, bands break up or pull out, etc.
