Line Out - Comments on Guitar Player Makes Voodoo Doll of Bandmate http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/09/local_guitar_player_makes_voodoo_doll_of This in from Jared: I’m in a newish band and we have played a couple of house parties that went pretty well. We auditioned for a second guitarist a few weeks ago and found one that we liked, but didn’t...

But in the future, settle these things in advance. "I'm going to spend $30 on posters. If we make any money, I would like to be reimbursed out of it, cool?"

Or just start a band fund for future posters, t-shirts, recordings, etc. and don't pay anyone ever.

When voodoo dolls come out you know it has gone too far.

Keep $20 for your posters and expenses... not having communicated your responsibilities to a new band mate cost you $10.

A real estate agent once told me "When true negotiation happens over big money, everyone walks out of settlement feeling just a tiny bit screwed - everyone. That is a successful negotiation. There are no 'winners' or 'top dogs', because it was worked out for real."

Understand his desire to make a voodoo doll if there was an unexpected expense, but also understand the need for a good team over any one "Stevie Ray". If Stevie weren't a good communicator within his team, he'd have been sucking dicks for crack under the freeway.
