So apparently this dude Jared Threatin made a bunch of fake live videos and interviews promoting his music (which is complete cringe), bought a bunch of fake likes from bots on social media and youtube, and used the fake hype to convince some actual hardworking musicians to tour with him, promising only 300 dollars but that the tour would be all expenses paid by the venues. Then he used the same hype to convince a bunch of very real and sizable European venues to book his tour, promising hundreds of fans would show up. Surprise surprise, the venues wouldn’t pay for the musicians’ food and lodging, causing two of them to back out at the last second while the other didn’t have money for a ticket home and had to stick it out for the tour. Immediately nobody came to the first few gigs he played, and before long the venues started talking to each other and found this guy out as a fraud. Now he’s trying to say he was showing how screwed up the music industry is and that it was all a masterful hoax, but it looks more like he tried to buy fame and didn’t get very far before he hurt enough people to get exposed as a fraud. Links to a couple videos discussing the story: And of course links to a couple of his music videos: Thoughts? Obviously the guy has scummy morals and a destructive ego, but I can’t help but enjoy how awfully cringe this music is.
