Re: Whats does SA get for a gig?
I really wouldn't know, but I imagine it varies depending on the gig. I'm sure that packing First Avenue to the rafters at 20 bucks a head pays a bit more than a free show at a ribfest. But then again those ribfests and stuff like that probably bring in alot of money too. For example, they played at the Three Rivers Regatta in Pittsburgh two years ago, and that brings tens of millions of dollars into the city, so I'm sure they can afford to give the bands decent paychecks.
They definitely make enough doing it to live comfortably. I mean, I don't see any of the guys clamoring for a day job, do you? (And by "day job" I don't include Dave's record producing on the side, Danny's art-dealing, or that other band Tommy plays in.)

I don't think they are that popular on here.insomniac wrote:that other band? as in guns n roses? there one of the all time greats
Anyway, I have no idea what the band makes... it probably differs for every gig. I'm sure it's not as much as it used to be, though, seeing as it's been 15 years since their last hit and they're not exactly a big name anymore and that makes a difference.

Eleventy billion dollars. I read it on the internet.

I think that for most shows they get paid over $9000. I've heard rumors that Dave also likes Mudkips.
Some useless information on what bands are paid for gigs...
About 5 years ago, a village employee of Crestwood informed me that Night Ranger was getting $30K for a 1.5 hour show. A few years before that, he said that REO Speedwago was getting $120K for a 1.5 hour show.
More recently, as in a few weeks ago, I saw Wang Chung at a bar's festival in Chicago. A fan, who was friend's with a manager, said that they were getting just under $9K for 1.25 hours.
