My band, FUSE, just played at Snickers last week. Great experience. We had NO expectations going in. Kevin was very pleasant and polite to us. Would we do it again? Nope. Only because we don't make a habbit of playing free gigs.
If you have the opportunity to play the show, do it. Why not? It's neat.
Kevin may be all the things that poeple say, but we "used" him just as much as he "used" us. What did we get out of it? Just another DVD to put into the collection...so when I am 80 years old, I bet I'll be happy I did it.

that's cool you had a good time and you have the correct mind set about it as well.
Right, so I read about all posts here and I'm feeling kind of pissed. I'm not a musician, just a fan and patriot of the city, but sh*t read what's going on. Like the guy keeps saying--it's the fact that Ferguson lied and talked sh*t, not any contract sh*t. A bunch of people keep saying like sorry for your tough luck but you should have been better businessmen. That's crap. Ferguson lied about these guys and what will he do to anyone else? Why aren't you guys sticking together? For christsake, this guy runs a sh*tty local tv show that you can't even see outside the immediate surrounding counties and he screws a local band. He screws his own community. And all a lot of you have to say is oh well? f**k that. You don't f**k your own town and you don't turn your head when your brother gets tolchocked.

WOW!.....Thank you.......That's some real S*#T MAN(as in MANKIND)
Ferguson's show takes up valuable air time that could be filled by Star Trek reruns. . . .

Man does that show ever bite. The only good part about it is the musical guest....when it isn't Chris & Paul, ugh.
hehe...
Ever seen Chris front a full band though? Stellar!

He sed what he sed and it's history now...we will go on to make musicas we should.My band brother just wanted to let the other "band brothers"know about this. This business can be cut throught (we all know that).It is what it is....
