"band with a complete disrespect and disdain for their audience"
I worked with one of them recently. They opened for me. One member of the audience was so incensed by their attitude that he stormed out and asked for his money back. They seemed to think that any sort of communication other than through their music would be "selling out".Actually they are the perfect band to follow. Just a smile and a "hello" and the audience are yours for the night!
