Cranberries and Troy

A Special Thanks

To ERC Booking,

I am writing this letter to commend the folks who make-up the local ERC booking company (http://www.myspace.com/ercbooking). My ears (and my wallet) are forever in debt. Without them, where else would I find over-priced shows that stiff local acts and idolize weak touring bands?

But I digress. The real reason for this letter would be their treatment of performers who give their time in order to fill out a show bill. In a recent show, local poet Zack Graham was told to perform fellatio on Kelly (http://www.myspace.com/neo82), owner of the booking company, when Zack asked if he received a cut of the $10 door fee.

Ladies and Gentleman, I love ERC booking so much, that I will never perform in one of their shows, nor will I attend one; No matter who is on the bill.

For other opinions on ERC Booking, contact Whalelimb, a power-violence band out of Clarkston, WA. They also know first hand the sheer beauty of being told they are nothing more than a chunk of change to be exploited.

with love,

kurt
