Re: Booking Agents... (Kinda Rant)

It is my understanding (I am a former executive board member of my local AFM) that an agent is supposed to find gigs for a band. The venue pays the band and then the band pays the agency (finders) fee to the agent.

In my area things are backwards... In most cases the band plays a gig, the club pays the agent, the agent takes his cut, and then the agent pays the band.
