  Speaker 1: Have you checked it out yet? Ero dot net a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: r oe dot net. It's not just a podcast. It
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is a podcast network that features twenty different escapes from
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this real world. One of the biggest shows is called
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The Resurrection. It's not what you think. It's an author
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: who is burying writing instruments in the soil and coming
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: back months, even years later, the rising of the writing instrument.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The Resurrection only on erow dot net, arr Oe dot net.

  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hates me that research guy, that guy
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that's always asking questions, because it is so much fun
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to dig in and start researching. Researching questions such as
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: do tribute bands have to get a special license to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: play cover songs in nightclubs and on their miniature tours?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Plus when do these cover bands have to start forking
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: out a little extra money for their on stage live performances.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: My name is Arrow. I am a daily writer, a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: wolf that means I stand on the sidelines and do
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, than activate. I happen to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: call it the Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: through an everyday world. It is my morning writing as
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to throw things to the side because we are convinced
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that we're going to come back to it later on. Well,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: when a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture does become clearer.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: This is the daily mess. Do tribute bands have to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: get a special license to play live in clubs? Well,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, these tribute bands have become the hottest
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: night scene money maker in nearly every town and city.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's because of the nostalgia, affordability, legacy, high on stage production,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and its reliable entertainment. But do they have to get
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a special license to emulate Fleetwood, mac Kiss, Zeppelin and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: countless others? Tribute bands do not have to drop change
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: into the ASCAP BMI jar. The venue should already have
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that covered. Song royalties are essential because in a very
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: long way, the original songwriters are going to be making
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: money without showing up. Most venues buy what's called a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: blanket license. It covers any song from a catalog of millions.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: The physical cost of the ASCAP BMI is a few
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars to several thousand per year. Now that doesn't
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: mean tribute bands can't be pulled into an issue of infringement.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing that bands need to have in their
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: handwritten contracts is make sure that venue has paid their
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: ascap BMI bill. Hey, coming up next, how about those
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: tribute bands? And where do they have to pay extra money?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Because it can't be all about the venues? Hey, thanks
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: for coming back to the Daily Man. How aren't tribute
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: bands covered by nightclubs and music venues monthly charges for
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as cap BMI fees royalties When tribute bands record the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: cover songs and then try to sell them, yeah, okay,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay as cap BMI. Those are
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: called mechanical royalties. Bands are also slapped with a royalty
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: charge when using the original band's logo. Plus, the bigger
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: tribute bands might have to do some forking out of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: cash when negotiating their bands and might need a license.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Many of these tribute bands don't get paid by the venue,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: but rather through ticket sales. See how important you are
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to these bands? If that's an option. Cover bands at
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the bar can get anywhere between five hundred and two
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a night, whereas a national tribute band, they're
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: guaranteed five thousand to fifty thousand dollars per show. Those
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: are the tribute players that are amping it up at
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the House of Blue, who live nation venues and casinos,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: art centers, as well as outdoor music festivals. The goal
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for any tribute band is to sell the experience. People
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: don't give a rat's butt about who is singing but
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that music. If they're feeling the experience, then that ticket
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was well worth it. I'm arrow, and that's the daily
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: mess
