I was also in a band that drove 1200 miles and payed over 2 grand in gas to get to the finals that was held at the whisky-a-go-go. They scammed the bands for selling "presales" and only did this for the money. I'm personal friends with a few of the promoters and they charged upwards of over $1000 just to host a "local" show.
Just another scammed musician who drove and spent over $2500 for gas and hotels, just to be told "your music is amazing but you don't have an image".
