I'm interested. In fact, I'm fascinated. Why not?

[circusinthesky]

I like living in a world where The Butthole Surfers would have been the top paid band at the event.



John was a little crippled midget lesbian boy, but he stood ten foot tall with a knife.

[saltydogg]

Is that annual or, per show?

[travisvwright]

Paid per? Show Tour Year?

[hank57]

I was curious.

In the late 80s I think the Dead got under 40K per, playing the outdoor smaller fairground locations.

Lance! I might play with Stu Allen one of these days...maybe bass.

Its for one specific event in LA. Does no one click on the OP's included link?

After LA's Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance was denied permits and forced to cancel their event, they filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. Included in the $900,000 of liabilities are the unpaid fees of 74 artists.

My question too. I hope it's per show. Butch Walker certainly deserves it after his home burned down.
