SoCal Promo Tour: Day 5

Long story short, we cancelled Day 5 for many reasons.  Jeremiah was gettin’ sick, traffic, driving and all the bull shit we encountered, wore me down a lot.  I felt like we were wasting our time, nothing went according to plan.  I called Amaar for advice last night and based on our conversation, I felt like it was better to just pack it up, go home and reload.  LA is a whole different animal and I should’ve planned my trip better.

On the way home, we decided to hit up a publishing company.  They were stationed in Porter Ranch, about an hour north of LA.  These dudes looked like they were ballin’, the neighborhood had some real nice houses and I saw some real fly whips driving around.  We came up to this big ass gate, looked like some Lord of the Rings type joint.  They had crazy security, I bet even the cops get harassed when they try to come through.  Basically, we rolled up, security asked me who I was, took my name down, called the office, and said nobody was home and to just give them the CD etc.  Wether somebody was home or not, these dudes really screen who they work with and that’s very respectable

….I’m glad to be back in the Bay.

   

Socal Promo Tour: Day 4

Today sucked.  1st of all, thanks to my online teacher for giving me a
final exam this week.  I spent most of the morning and afternoon working
on it.  The evening came and we were ready to rock.  Got ready and hit
the road.  We got there 20 minutes early so we went through our set a
couple times.

*********************
Club La Conga in San Pedro
*********************
Notable acts that performed here:
Sugar Hill Gang
Green Day
Tierra
And a lot more for me to remember, but dude mentioned a lot of big
names.

We came in the club and that shit was empty haha.  Only people there
were the 2 bar tenders and the owner.  Again, miscommunication.  The
person who booked us said he was gonna make flyers for us to push.  When
we arrived in Long Beach Saturday night, we never got a phone call to
pick up the flyers.  Who knows if he ever got them made.  I told the
promoter that if we got actual flyers, we could’ve gotten at least a
decent turn out, word of mouth don’t go that far especially if nobody
knows you in the area.

I was told that there were 2-3 other acts performing, but in reality, we
were the only ones booked.  The owner apologized and gave us free
drinks.  It still didn’t make up for the disappointment.  The club did
nothing to promote the show, and the person who booked us told the owner
that it was already promoted.  Haha, welcome to the wonderful world of
bull shit.

I turned down two other shows to do La Conga and Rhino TV…but how was
I suppose to know that these 2 shows weren’t all that great?  When the
show was canceled, I was stuck at that point and we just went back to
the hideout.

I know for a fact that LA is the mecca of music, I’m just lookin’ in the
wrong places.  I could’ve orchestrated things a lot better, and did more
research.

I’m stuck and pissed off…
