The technical response is that any monies earned from cd sales, online download sales, etc., all go to the label who then pay us our royalties when applicable. Once the label and everyone else gets their cut, and then any recoupable money is accounted for, we then get our share. Our label is very good about handling all this and paying us.
Now if your question is if we actually make any real money for our own pockets, that's a whole 'nother story. Needless to say a band like ours doesn't profit very much and what profits we do make goes right back into the band, as we still pay for quite a few band necessities ourselves. If there's one thing that always irked me when reading people's comments on other forums and stuff, it's when people talk about underground bands who "sell out" or are "rich" or whatever. Most bandmembers in heavy bands would make more money if they worked at McDonalds, and that's the honest truth. Even some of the "big" bands in the heavy scene would surprise you if you knew how little they actually make in profit for themselves.
Maybe you guys should play some birthday parties, graduations, weddings, and charge $100 per performance.. or more.
