Bad show for the guys involved, though and hope they get it resolved soon.
Which is either a staggeringly fortunate spread of skill sets or a case of 'jobs for the boys'
A chap I know does tour manager duties for a number of American bands across the Uk and Europe and described it as 'the single biggest fucking headache that lasts 2 months'
definitely one for someone with experience.
The ethos seems to be DIY so far as possible and I imagine this tour has been run as cheaply as possible.
Learning curve for all of them.
They are a very good band. They are selling out shows. They've just done it in a different way.
Also...I don't believe they're bankrolled by a guitar shop. They all have a certain amount of income generated by working for the shop, but I've never seen anything to indicate that Andertons have anything at all to do with Dorje. Even from the very early days (when it was The Rob Chapman Band), it was clearly isolated from any of Rob's other activities.
That's too much good deed for one day
This is... well, the only word I can think of for it is begging.
EDIT - How long before there's a youtube video begging for money as well?

Why on earth are they taking drones on their tour? I always thought tours were roughing it in a transit, not sleeping with 17k of tech (let alone gear) and playing with drones.
This isn't a dig btw, sheer curiosity.
They are talented and hardworking, personalities aside, I like their music.
Obviously a steep if unneccesary learning curve.
The only difference between them and any of the other DIY bands out there is that they got a head start with Rob's fanbase baked in. If it was down to being "bankrolled by a guitar shop", you'd be seeing tons of marketing everywhere to get them to this point...which is not the case.
I'm fine with criticising Rob (or anyone) for things he's done wrong, but this particular assertion is way off.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
