Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
How much do bands charge ?

My friend works in promo's. Parlotones charged 180k for just under an hour and apparently that was a bargain.
They also had a disgusting list of things they required in their contract.
Apparently DJ Fresh is pretty "cheap" relatively speaking (finding out how much he charges now)

I heard Shaun Morgan from Seether charged R25k for his solo acoustic shows he did here a couple years ago

I wouldn't pay 1 SA Rond to see the Parlotones.
If I wanted to see a tranny whine like a little girl, I could find that cheaper I reckon
LOL...one man's trash is another's treasure...I can't stand them either.

I suppose they need to pay promoters, managers, technical guys etc etc and still divide the cost between the band members (with, I guess, lead singer gets most?) - and then tax on the income.
I guess R170,000.00 doesn't come to much more than R15,000.00 per gig - though not bad for an hours work

ja for Parlotones I had heard R135,000 for an hour. Probably more than that now, and R40,000 an hour for a man-man-show seems to be normal.
That was a while ago. I am sure now it would be pretty pricey
wow do they get booked much? It could end up being a stupid question but anyhoo
who knows. I suppose for the bigger gigs like jozi day they charge less? What bothered me was what i was told about their contract. tons and tons of stupid requests.
If i was in a rock band it would simply be beer, vodka, rum, mix and hot dogs

Per person, probably close to that, but i am just speculating.
It sounds pricey, but you can make your money back on it quite easily. And if its a corporate thing, then i suppose they tax write it off.
As for fresh, i asked and the corporate stuff is around 37k for him. I am sure a club gig would be a bit more, but i think he is worth every cent. He brings in the crowds and creates an awesome vibe!
I don't know where I heard this or if it's even true, but apparently the parlotones get something like R30 000 a month salary. remember with sponsorship they also get cars and probably a ton of other crap. They probably also get a percentage from record sales etc.
