Is it ok to record a band that I know is bound to fail/is BAD

[joelplagues]

I've been contacted by the bands "manager"(lol) about recording 3 demo's for a band who after putting their facebook profile online only a few weeks ago have already got a "this band sucks" page with people liking it each day.

It's a terrible glam revival wannabe band that doesn't really play glam from what I hear. I'll be programming drums. (THANK FUCK) Voice doesn't sound to use-able either

I know this band is going to be bad and a bit of a pain, but I'm literally broke right now with no immediate income and I'm more concerned with making cash than I am about the projects headache's right now.

considering the fact that some other studio chump would probably, gladly take their money, why shouldn't I?


thoughts?

HAHA I enjoy the meme.

I'm kind of thinking along the same lines. I know we all often state "Don't work with someone you don't want to" but goddamn does having money look good again.

If I had to like every band I work with I would be broke as fuck
Of course, go for it! In the end this is just a job in which, from time to time, you get a nice surprise and record a band you like. The rest of the time is just working for money.
