THE POLYPHONIC SPREE - "IT'S THE SUN (LIVE AT WERCHTER 2003)"

[@heddalee]

how did these folks make enough money while touring to even eat, with a band that large? i've always wondered.

I don't think they did. I think it was summer work and they probably lived off summer festival perks like free food and shit. But I think many have other jobs too. It's similar with some of Do Make Say Think, for example. Artists have to sacrifice a lot to produce something beyond the commodifying constraints of a monetary economy.
