if a promoter doesn't pay you or doesn't provide any reasonable explanation for why they CAN'T pay you, simply don't work with them.

I've been on the other side of this shit for a bit now to know that there are so many shows that I didn't get paid for performing at due to being young and naive. There is almost always some sort of money at the end of shows. Even if it's like $20 for gas.
I'm still hearing stories all the time about promoters/venues not making an effort to pay musicians. It's a one-way ticket to your demise as a promoter. Bands will figure it out eventually. You can only scam someone so many times.
