that's just it - every band has the opportunity to say "yes, i will play for X amount" or "no way in hell - i want more or i don't play at all." if you feel you're too good to open for sonic youth at a small amount, then don't open for them.
my band just got offered to play siren fest - for no pay. fuck that. i know it's siren fest and it's exposure, but we're done playing for free. i'm not going to blame the people who want us to play - i'm just not going to play for them. yet we're going to open for a band i love for a very minimal amount - because i want to open for them. the minimal amount will pay us to get our equipment there and that's about it.
