OK cheers guys.
Yeah we are just staying in central New York really - but then if you know anything out a bit then that could be worth considering i'll mention it to the others (i'm very much 'just the bass player', so all these decsions are up to the band overlords)
We did the same thing last year in LA and it was fantastic. Yes it will cost us - we are certainly not doing this to make a profit, but we will gig around the UK, and save up our fees to cover the costs of the trip, so in effect the band earns the money and the band spends it.
By the way we intend to do much the same thing in parts of Europe soon too. Mainly Spain, Holland and France.
We are working on putting on a very big retro event in the UK too, and if any of you guys have a retro leaning band, and can offer us a slot in your country in exchange - we can most likely put you on the bill - as I say I am just the bassplayer, the other guys are organising all this, but I said i'd talk to the other bassplayers around the world to see if anyone wants to work with us.
Cheers all
