Concerts in Spokane

[prob23]

Why don't more rappers come to Spokane for concerts? Tech comes like every year and easily sells out,and he's like the only rapper that comes to Spokane.

Well, off top, becuase its in the middle of nowhere, I mean, you got to drive hella far from I-5 to get there -- most tours shoot up from Cali and do Portland, Tacoma/Seattle, and maybe Vancouver BC. Think about all the time and gas money you have to recoup to get to Spokane from I-5....

Spokane isn't so small that it alone won't give you a profit. Like he said, the shit sold out. And rap is definitely popular there.

 

[Sketchy B]

OK, I believe you, but the perception out there I bet is that Spokane is too far in the cuts to be worth booking. But I know there are some shows, Cool Nutz and Jus Family is out there all the time. Shit bugs me too when tours skip Portland so I know what you mean.

PS. if you posted your question in the NW Forum you would get some better informed answers.

Being an artist from Spokane....The shows don't get crackin...

But you gotta remember over the last year or so we've had some good shows, DJ Quik and Mitchy Slick, E-40, Luni and Spice 1 came, Dogg Pound,
Cool Nutz is coming in March wit Too Short and Luni, and others.....and remember....COME TO LOCAL SHOWS BRO!!!!

EDIT: There's a little over 400,000 people here, in the area probably like 500 thou.
