THD - "evolution of our decay" album

"I've heard a lot of bands complain that they don't get enough for a
show, but it's usually on them to sell the tickets to the show."

I'm not sure what you're talking about there. It's a promoter's job to
promote a show. It's a band's job to play a show. Bands make music.
Promoters sell tickets. If bands sold tickets themselves, they
wouldn't need promoters.
