Well you see a 20 dollar per diem for 8 salaried people over four weeks is a necessary operating expense

I think it's a nice thing to do (beats the hell out of the Amanda Palmer approach) but if everything's coming out of your own pocket I don't know how you can justify 5ish grand on per diem in addition to salaries (I also don't know how you can justify a six member band to play Pomplamoose songs either but hey whatever man)

I also don't understand bands that complain about the cost of touring but also bring lighting on tour with them

thats not the diy ethos tho more like a riff on how its supposed to be "its own reward" to kill yourself trying to make a living as a musician? idk

it's because the dude owns patreon and they raised like 20 million in venture capital, so this guy is a tourist and taking a loss on his magical mystery tour doesn't matter because he's actually rich

plus all of their loving target commercials or whatever

diy isnt an ethos its a practical necessity and if weird dude hardcore became the new trance i think people would reconsider some things

which isnt a defence of pomplamoose, someone who has had less money than these absolute loving bellends wouldve also made more money with that poo poo
