No one buys demo shit, .mp3s to everyone we know who are interested etc. and selfcostnadsprice on cds if we ever have a show again. Making money from music is a joke
You cannot run a band for free either, well you can if you want to play at places like china station your entire life
Fact of life: If you play Death Metal or music at all for that matter, you lose money.
I am not in a band to make money but it would be nice to get some money into the band and use that money to print t-shirts etc, get the band going somewhere.
