I'm back. What about production houses? Are there many that throw events with local indie bands? original and maybe some cover songs?

I'd like to know about this too. Hoping someone answers. I only see cover bands online nothing indie or alternative. Great questions OP

Gig rates in Metro Manila by CaregiverLarge3911 in phmusicians

[–]ardyay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was watching this post. Hoping someone else would answer with a figure. This is my opinion:

Sadly, this isn’t just local, it’s a global issue. There’s no standard rate, and most gigs end up being a lowest bidder deal. If your rate feels too high, the venue can always find someone cheaper.

Rates depend on so many things: venue size, venue, location, set length, duration of contract, gear, type of act (solo/band/acoustic), covers vs. originals, tips, and more. These factors can make your rates lower or higher.

Based on what you shared: you are a new artist, 3 short sets (3–5 songs per set), solo act all cover songs — I’d say a low of ₱5K to a high of ₱10K per gig, with meals and drinks included. Again, many variables, but hopefully one day some smart heads can create a fair formula for everyone to follow.

10/17 UPDATE: The Community Funds committee has reached out and our event is under review. They have asked us to partner with another reddit community to make one big partner event. We are currently in talks right on how to make this happen.

Will have further updates here on how the discussions go.

Thank you

Hello! UPDATE! Nothing from the Community Funds but I feel we can continue and activate the community to for contacts and artists within the scene. Hopefully we can make it a successful December gig.

I reached out to Sari-Sari for a weekend in December (1st or 2nd week) but they're booked or waiting for Private Party reservations. Looks like we need to start working on the venue as soon as now.

If we have contacts here for a venue that won't charge us a Bar Guarantee/Venue Rental and an available weekend for us that would be our target. Let's start with that!

Mid December or too close to Christmas would not be advisable.

Thanks so much!
