For a year now I've been trying to locate musicians who are making a living solely from their music. Anyone here either in that position or know someone in that position? Can you share your stories? Thanks.

My only employment is teaching guitar lessons right now. The bills barely get paid, but I find a way to eat the rangoons. It ain't glamorous, but it beats most horseshit.

my music owes me 1000s

Can you elaborate about how you're doing it? email thefutureiswideshut(at)gmail.com if you like / don't want to post here.

It's very helpful, thanks.

Yeah, shit was way more lavish a year+ ago, before the economy turned to shit. Smokin drugs n bisking on the reg.

I like it.

hopefully soon...starting to generate label interest with Hard No. 9

that's awesome to hear, tom.

Music is a stupid waste of time. Play Tetris and drink Gansetts instead you faggots.

If by "make a living" you mean "stave off suicide another year," then yes.

and wear a wifebeater with your nipples sticking out of the sides or you're a pussy

LEGIT.

You and me both, but I meant being able to pay the bills and even maybe move up a little in life.

this

suicide is painless

Aspirations are for queers

well, its been a tough market for brutal death metal this year, but the health insurance is really good and we still have a competitive 401k match

when i start not loosing tons of money on rttp each year, i will let you know. maybe if i had some musical talent.

Alan from Goratory is...Job for a Cowboy, Despised Icon etc...

so basically to make a living off music, you have to play wicked homo music...

HA! The breakup song is gonna get you guys MAD PUSSY!

living is for pussies. music is for faggots. dreams are irrelevant. give up on music.

become a luddite and kill people.

hard to do that in MA...thats why i moved back home
