Doom-punk band Witch Fever say they are struggling financially despite supporting a band around Europe and the UK, and are unable to get jobs due to further touring commitments
I work in the livesound field, and to my experience, music and music business are separate things. You need business management knowledge to be a band/an artist these days. Or you hire someone for that. The desaster mentioned in the article is a home made problem, this should have been calculated beforehand (probably was) but even if artists don‘t break even there will always be someone saying „but the output and reception you will receive is your capitalism the future“ (marketing).
I pity British artists because brexit but business is business. calculate beforehand.

I genuinely believe though that artists should be optimizing for in person revenue and cheap or free music downloads as marketing.
Yes, same. Music is open source.
think about the times we shared tapes with each other.
