It was simple. No band, no punters, and therfor no profit.

It all worked then, but not any longer. People don't want to listen to live music anymore, a DJ is way cheaper.



cheers, niteshift


People have been going with djs over bands for at least 20 years now.

Maybe the most happening places down the Jersey Shore would pay 1500 to a band.

The reality is the economy is so bad people cant afford to go out like they used to. A night of partying at a club costs money that people dont have.

People think showing up is what u need, but u actually need them to buy food and beer and make the venue money.

Places who already sell alot of beer are the hard gigs to get.
