Dave Matthews Band the game from revenue sharing model

Dave Matthews Band the game from revenue sharing model has been encouraged, with major League Baseball season continues.

DMB
is the flagship act of Red Light Management, which now represents over 100 groups. Just as baseball New York Yankees closer ensure that teams like Kansas City Royals like help in sparsely populated areas of their operations subsidy clubs, Matthews believes that such an approach the red light Roster For a list makes sense.

He explains, “Look at a band like Local Natives. They’re based in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the whole country. We on the other hand, hail from little ol’ Charlottesville. Well I appreciate the way that baseball has evened the playing field. Okay, other than the pitcher’s mound, which is technically a few inches higher but that’s a conversation for another day…Anyhow, we want to apply the revenue share model to Red Light to ensure that L.A. bands do the right thing and give the rest of us out in the boonies, a portion of the income that they generate from touring, t-shirt sales, the whole kielbasa.” When informed that revenue sharing works two ways and that this means DMB would have to give the same percentage of its revenue to the Silver Lake indie rockers, the band’s namesake Matthews chuffed, “Hold on there, that’s not fair at all.”
