so cristina and i busk-ed on the corner or johnston st and brunswick st for about 30 minutes earlier tonight. we made $7 or so dollars, got told by a homeless man “yeah? alright then!” when i was singing hit me baby one more time, and got lots of smiles.
then with our earnings, we went to a really fancy french restaurant and ordered two hot chocolates and laughed and spoke way louder...
so i just reaslied it’s National SLAM Day (Save Live Australian Music). so cristina and i are going to go and busk on brunswick st!
come and watch! we’re not sure where we’ll be, but somewhere along there! we’ll be busking around 6.50ish-7
comecomecome! :D

so the girl who I’m supporting emailed me back. after that big rant from me, all she said was
‘I booked you as a solo act Ange.’
that’s it.
tom-c0wans-glasses asked: let me know how it goes ok because in all honesty, i think you have a right to be so strong-willed about it. i mean, she makes it sound as if it's ~your fault~ she's a woman or not amanda or something idk

my music could never work without a small kit / brushes and such. i might as well do it solo. i think its looking like im going to be doing it solo anyways.
tom-c0wans-glasses asked: do it ange do it
Anonymous asked: Dude don't be a jerk about it. It's not your gig. By the same passage she could say it's not her fault that you can't give your greatest performance without a drummer.
tom-c0wans-glasses asked: ultimately, it's up to you, and what you think would work better. if you don't think you could do it without a drummer, and if that's what you really want, keep fighting. it wouldn't do any harm to stand up for what it is you really want. even if that means losing the gig. then again, if you really want to do it, and think that perhaps you could compromise on having a drummer...
tom-c0wans-glasses asked: yes, definitely reply with that. definitely. i don't know her or anything, but honestly, she sounds terribly rude. i also read the reply to that other post, and i agree. if she's tampering with your artistic vision, it's really not worth it.
the only other thing is that, the venue isnt really a drumming kind of venue… the drums would need to not be amplified. but still! it would work.
what do i dooooo?
tom-c0wans-glasses asked: dude, just saw your latest post. what the hell?
im thinking about sending this
“Hi Helen
If that is your decision, I can only accept it, but whether or not you are a “loud” or “bigger” performer than me, sound like Amanda or if you’re a woman shouldn’t alter your performance. Your performance will be up to you, and how greatly you perform, not by how much you sound like Amanda or the fact that you are...

this is what she replied with
“Hey Ange, it’s just that it will make my songs appear that much smaller. You’re already male, bigger than me and louder than me. If I sounded like Amanda this wouldn’t be a problem but you’ve got to remember you’re supporting my act, not upstaging it. I’m sorry.”

i emailed her back apologising and saying to her its her gig so she gets final say. i asked for clarification on the drummer. if she says no, then its no
I done it
“I just got in contact with my drummer, and he has agreed to do it for me. I would really appreciate it if you would allow me to do this, because its been years since I’ve done a gig with him / done a gig WITH drums. I don’t mean to cause any trouble, but I think I will go ahead with having the drummer.
I’m sorry again if I am causing any trouble but...

holdonnow knows.
so should i send it? i’m not being rude am i?!
and by the way, when she made the fb event page, i kindly asked her if she could include my name in the event name, and she told me no. if i wanted my fans to know i was playing at the gig, she told me i should send a message with the invites instead.
i’ve been nice to her this entire time, and she doesn’t want to be nice back. and share the spotlight. i know its not MY gig, but...

i can’t believe this
so, the girl that i’m supporting on my march 20th gig just told me she doesn’t want me to have a drummer because she is playing solo, so i have to
this is what i said
” Hi Helen!
Just a quick question, how long will my set go for, and also, I might have
some guests play on stage with me, and POSSIBLY a drummer with me for the
entire set…...

so guess who is really dumb?
this whole time, i’ve been thinking i’m without a drummer, i could have just called my drummer from my old band.
i called him before, and he said without hesitation he would love to drum for me for my March 20th gig at The Butterfly Club supporting Helen Perris!!
i can’t believe i didn’t think of this earlier. i am actually going to have...
