A band contacted me, told me they'd come record 2 times. Couldn't really ask them to make a deposit as they don't live that close and they only came for one song anyway. Booked one day, I MYSELF had to cancel at 11PM the day before because I kept sending them messages (Facebook, text and e-mail) for the whole 4 days before, without answer, AND they didn't even gave me what I asked them countless times (drums MIDIs, etc.).
We book another day the week after. Same fucking scenario - I can't get any news 2 days before the recording date. I went to the studio anyway, as I told myself I'd finish a project I was going to finish the day after, if they didn't came - that's what happened, they never showed up.
I finally have some news the day after, telling me that they have trouble with the drummer who never writes the drum MIDI and who has trouble leaving the job for one day in studio. They tell me they would send me an e-mail the week after.
The week after, I'm in New Jersey for a trip, keep looking at my e-mails, never receive anything. I finally send them messages after I come back, without answer.
Now, I just learned from another studio's page on Facebook that they've recorded a song there this week. Oh great. Stole me two days of work then got somewhere else.
