I'm in an original band and my situation is very similar. What I like about what we do is that we are essentially self sustaining. I don't make any money from gigs, it goes back to the band, but it doesn't cost me money to go to a real recording studio or buy new t-shirts, etc. We make enough to do all that stuff.
It does cost me gas and tolls, etc to get to gigs and of course heads and drum up keep. But I can deal with that.
Thanks marko. Yea, I can't complain too hard in the same regarding money in/out.. I haven't had to help front many 'band expenditures' out of pocket except my own gas/tolls/drink money. We have the band fund too.
The overall frustration still lies within but I think sticking it out for a little while longer will confirm any doubts. It has been really nice to read everyone's experiences so far.
