Default that's the last time you get a gig then.

I hope they kept their day jobs.

Music Trio Haim Fired Agent After Being Paid 10 Times Less Than Male Artist

https://www.thewrap.com/music-trio-h...-male-artists/

The sister trio, in the interview, discussed the struggles of fighting for recognition and equality in a sexist industry. Haim told the publication they were booked to play a festival last year where they were slotted one spot below a male artist who received 10 times more for playing the festival than they did.

The sisters didn’t mention the name of the festival, but said they were told their fee was low because “you play the festival in the hope that you’d get played on the radio.”

After that, they fired their agent.

“It’s scary out there and it’s f—ed up,” the youngest sister, Alana Haim told the publication. “It’s f—ed up not even to be paid half the same amount. But to be paid a tenth of that amount of money? It was insane.”



Even still, the group can’t be sure they won’t face pay inequality again, middle sister Danielle said, considering how secretive pay can be.

That echoes a call to action that women and other minority groups in Hollywood and across the entertainment world have made with organizations such as the TimesUP initiative.

Alana Haim tole Grazia that people still come up to her and ask whether the group writes their own songs, or questions whether they actually play their instruments — they do.

“Unfortunately, being a woman, in the early stages a lot of people think you can’t really play,” Danielle Haim said. “We were conscious that some people might not take our music seriously.”

The trio is currently on tour and had a date scheduled at Alexandra Palace. That show sold out within hours, according to Grazia, so they added another, and that one sold out too.

-----------------------------------

MM sez: the truth is that they aren't as popular as the lead acts. In the entertainment industry, you have to bring in money to make money.

their response (in CNN/MSNBC fashion): 'we are paid less because of racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobes.'

If a big act, then maybe they should of been paid 30 times less (instead of just 10).

If they appeared as a warm up to Madonna (and got paid 50 times less)... what social injustice could Haim blame that on

the Haim sisters are kinda soft rock. They try to sound like Fleetwood Mac ... but without the mega talent or curb appeal.

"would you make something for our charity auction, it'll help get your name out there?"

"would you make something unique and complicated, I'll help pay for materials?"

lots of versions of this out there.

sing for free, you might get paid down the road (meanwhile, you are depleting your meager savings and starving) (sorry, the buffet is only for paid artists).

i hope they get paid what they are worth - but be ready to find out that that isn't as much as you hope it is.

everyone wants more.

you get what you are worth on the whole.

if you let someone else determine your future, you cannot complain if you get cheated (and you will).

You don't get what you're worth.

You don't get what's fair.

You get what you negotiate.
