Obviously for bands who have a chip on their shoulder - let me put this in simple terms - it is not the job of the promoter (or club) to provide you with an audience, it is the job of the promoter (or club) to bring in bands that actually have fans willing to pay to see them. National acts don't want you on their bill no matter what they say unless you can help promote and add to the audience. There is no such thing as an opening act, they are referred to legally as "Suppprt Acts" and the duty of a support act is to support the headliner by bringing in additional audience. Local acts want to act like their not being mentioned in advertising is some sort of a slight - worng - contracts with nationals usually require that they receive 100% of all promotion and advertsing - now if they get 100% what do the local acts get? The answer is Zero by contractural obligation - so if a Prmoter does put your name on a poster. or in advertising, consider it a gift that is actually in violation of their contract witht the headliner. One last thing, nobody forces you to take a gig anywhere - if you want to play then you have an obligation to do your job, which is far more than just getting on stage.
