Our cd's are not 18 dollars... we still sell our cd's for pretty much the same price as when we started. I use the word pretty much only because most people don't realize that most clubs including the club you mentioned "the State Theatre" get a 30% average cut of a band's merch every time they play there, the reason is that the band is using the club to sell a product therefore they are giving you a retail space for the evening hence they get a 30% average cut. (One reason why Fugazi refuse to sell anything at shows), Anyways you figure we have to buy our cd's from our label out of our pocket to sell at shows then traveling expenses, having cd's often shipped to us while we are on the road and so on figured in, then subtract another 30% to pay the club for absolutely nothing and you will find we really only make around aprox. $2.35 a C.D. selling them for $13 bucks which is what we always do our best to sell them for. $13 bucks is still selling our cd for way less than most stores do, our cd prices in stores are the same as when we started, kung fu have not changed their prices. certian major chain stores however make up their own prices by adding two sometimes even three dollars to the distributors average price of around $14 dollars, add on $3 dollars to that and you will have $17 dollars... me, I will have an excuse to shop at an indie store and avoid chain stores. although some chain stores actually undercut indie stores...
