indie musicians are struggling lately, evidenced by the latest Pomplamoose tour, which put the band in the red despite them only giving 20 dollars per diem a day to their crew members: https://medium.com/@jackconte/pomplamoose-2014-tour-profits-67435851ba37

Pomplamoose are horrible adorkable youtube stars who do covers of popular songs and somehow they're mad that they were able to travel the world playing their drivel and the girl in the band does this stupid thing where she looks at the camera all deadpan and it's stupid. and the guy in the band is annoyingly exuberant

"it was important at this stage in Pomplamoose’s career to put on a wild and crazy rock show" Lol they just stare blankly while singing emotionlessly.

Pomplamoose sucks, do they even have any original songs? Or do they get by ripping of other pop song lyrics?

They should probably take this as a sign that they suck and to stop making lovely music

So the girl can hardly sing and they only sing covers. What a great and successful way to do music.

Pomplamoose was an goon favorite band years ago though it never made much sense. If they wanted to make money they should have been less horrible. Lowtax, if you're really going to be in St. Louis can I buy a city name sports team hat off of you?

They also live in San Francisco which is where all artists go to lose money.

I had a couple friends who were super into this band like 2-3 years ago and they would constantly play their stuff on the TV hooked up to YouTube that's my story

also they said they spent just under $8800 per week on salary for 6 people; that's about $1500 per person per week. Seems high imo but I guess what do I know.

No, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9NjntTUJ1Q They know what neighborhood they live in. The article is just about how not every band can make money on a tour, so if there are people who think that's how it works, it didn't for them. They did the tour for hype. They got hype. Now they're back to making Youtube videos.

Seems high imo but I guess what do I know. yeah paying salaries but still relying on venue receipts instead of per show guarantees, plus getting separate hotel rooms for each person, renting a fancy mercedes van for the price they could buy a gmc, using ridiculously high per diems instead of venue catering/buyouts. they somehow managed to pull in nearly 140k and blew it all because despite being internet famous "musicians" in san francisco of all places apparently they don't know a single person who's ever gone on a tour, or anyone with a shred of common sense for that matter
