Yeah, I have used them a few times & got some nice shows for Lt. Mac, Vyrous & myself. Then, I realized, that I really didn't need them. but for the regular musician, band or whatever, (if the press kit, and music is great) they give good opportunities. I have a few friends who are in bands that get a few big gigs through them also.

lol I host mine on my website, with no meta tags, so that no firewall can block the content. I'm not sure about that particular one, but depending on the event, you could make it happen, and come out in the black. but the main thing is exposure. There were a few rap/hip hop gigs that popped up. Usually for showcases like that, you don't get paid to perform, you pay to perform. But you are given the opportunity there at the showcase to sell your merchandise etc at your booth. Your really paying $535 for a whole bunch of contacts, and a lot of future businesses with other peoples. Every time I went to a showcase or some sort, I met x dude from x major label.
