Kim Logan hasn't added a story.
Hello friends and family of Kim Logan + The Silhouettes! We have been offered the opportunity to open for Low Cut Connie, a brilliant and successful American band, who will be coming overseas this month for their first full UK/EU tour. Kim has just come from singing and playing guitar and percussion in Low Cut Connie for their 9-week American tour this spring, and she and her band have just been asked to open two tour dates for Low Cut Connie here in Europe! These two shows alone would put us in front of over a thousand new fans, giving us the chance to spread our wings at a high level in two cities we've never played to before.
These two support slots for Connie ALSO enable us to play in two other cities for the first time ever as the full band Kim Logan + the Silhouettes... Glasgow and Amsterdam. These incur more travel expense... but put us in front of hundreds MORE people! So our full tour looks like this:
June 5th -- The Flying Duck, Glasgow Scotland
June 6th -- The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh Scotland
June 14th -- Kantine Am Berghain, Berlin Germany
June 15th -- Epidemic Sounds, Amsterdam Netherlands
Exciting!! HOWEVER... this wonderful news comes with the frustrating fact that promoters/venues (no matter which country you're in), don't pay artists nearly enough for gigs, often leaving us in the lurch to cover everything from travel expenses to meals to lodging to other incidentals. The travel to and from Edinburgh and Berlin from Paris for the four of us will amount to around 1,800 Euros, and we are only receiving 50 Euros TOTAL for each show... that's for the round-trip transportation, lodging, and per diem of four people. EVERY CENT of the money raised in this campaign will go to train/bus tickets, Uber/taxis from stations to venues, meals, etc. As an enormous thank-you to everyone who donates here, I will send a signed copy of the new album we just finished here in England, as soon as it is ready for release this fall!
ALSO... if these financial facts make you feel ruffled about the widespread economic injustice in the music industry... GOOD!! That means you're a cool human.... so please support the artists in your life whenever and wherever you can... we really need and appreciate it!
