Fun For the Speculators

[Swindlebiscuit]

Fuel for the band speculation fire?

Here are guideline prices for a bunch of bands. From Andrew Bird to Snoop Dogg.

Interesting that "our" headliners seem to be in the 20-35k bracket.

SURELY EELS AREN'T JUST 10k?!

Book those suckers now. And Fiery Furnaces. Bargain.

Okay, and 10k for Joanna Newson.

This is like Fantasy Festival.

Who wants to join my buddy league?

[DragKnuckles]

I'll play...

- Gomez (25-30)

- Iron & Wine (25-30)

- M.Ward (15-20)

Even be tempted by:

- Matt Nathanson (20-25)

- Ray Lamontagne (35-45)

- Xavier Rudd (20)

[Swindlebiscuit]

P.S. Apparently, these are prices for US college-kinda gigs and many of them can be got for much cheaper (or in some cases more).

Wonder what kind of budget EOTR has to play with?

Could be in the region of 150-200k, I would think. Though I freely admit I'm pulling that number out of my magical chasm.

Anathallo at 5-6K is absolutely bargaintastic! BOOK 'EM!

25-30K Broken Social Scene

25-30K Iron & Wine

15-20K Built To Spill

15-20K The National

10-15K Rouge Wave

[Elfy]

eels at 10K - complete bargain

Also......

Grizzly Bear 15-20K

Yeasayer 12.5-15K

Apples in Stereo 10-15K

Airborne Toxic Event 15-20K

TVOTR 25-30K

I'd like to see the Presidents of the USA @ 25K

[Swindlebiscuit]

Teeny weeny vulnerable hole?

[man_d]

Aqualung for $5000?!?

[liarliar]

Hah....Fantasy Festival indeed!

Drive-By Truckers at $15k seems a barg!

Ll.

[shoebox]

I can't believe that Ben Kweller is commanding 25-30K. I mean, he's good, but in the same bracket as BSS? I mean, there's about 50 of them and they must all get a cut. You'd think Ben would be able to afford a hair-cut on that sort of money. Maybe some jeans without holes in them. The youth of today!

[geofelgie]

THE POLYPHONIC SPREE 20K

THE NATIONAL 15-20K

EELS 10K

CRACKER 10-15K

DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS 15-20K

JAKOB DYLAN & THE GREEN MOUNTAIN REBELS 15K

Bargains the lot of them!

Wilco

Andrew Bird

Sunday

Grizzly Bear

Kings of Convenience

This is really interesting. Can't believe the National come so cheap. Let's have them please along with M.Ward and Grizzly Bear.

[M.G.Frogworthy]
