Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hair us together and we're gonna start to
party and start. I'm ready to party.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Elvis Duran after Party.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Let's do it another after party podcast. We got a
full room. We got Scotti in another room, but we
still have a full room in here. There's Scary and
the Gandhi's in another room. Hello, she's in Columbus, Ohio.
And also a producer Sam is here. And there's Danielle
Nate and our special guest in turn, Leilani. Hello, Leilani.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So let's start with Leilani if if we can. Okay. So,
Leilani is an artist. Not only is she an intern here,
but she's she does many things. Tell everyone if they
haven't met you, what exactly your artistry is all about?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
So I make alt pop question mark, it's just under
my name Leilani Pitau.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
It's like if a.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Singer songwriter got hold of a drum machine and just
what nuts is how I like to describe it?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, Okay, So basically she's told us absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Hey, you gotta you gotta tune in and listen.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, so you actually got a gig offered to you
here in Manhattan, right.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes, which is not once in a lifetime, but it's
definitely big for me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
But the unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Model of the show is that if I don't sell
at least ten tickets, I might be cut off the bill.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Here's the gag.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's four hours, ten bands, we all get three songs.
Tickets are twenty dollars. Okay, so I have to beg
on my knees to all my friends twenty dollars to
see me play three songs.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Otherwise you will be cut from the show.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yes, Like they'll put me at the end of the show.
And if someone goes over Leilani's cutch.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I think they had. That's how they do it
with a lot of things like that.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, so you think they could.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
They want you to bring the people in and if
you don't, yeah, gone.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, it's all about poll nowadays.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Can you just say it when you first get started
in the business, this is not unusual, right, it really isn't.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I mean, you've got to do the leg work for
the venue, bring the people in. You're there to play.
You are an artist. Well she's not established quite yet.
Where she's established, it will be a whole o the world.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, yeah, that's the thing. These are like showcases. So
it's people who are just starting out. I lament back
in the olden days, people just drunkenly got up on
stage and did whatever, and all of a sudden they're
Patty Smith.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well no, but see you've moved on to another level Gandhi. Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
So does it work in the opposite direction where if
you sell thirty tickets you're going to move up and
they'll give you more space or is that it? Yeah,
the more tickets you sell, the better the time slot
you get. So like if you sell like like fifteen ish,
they'll put you at a prime spot around eight. Everyone's there,
everyone's happy, drinks everywhere, but if you're bad, you go
(03:06):
either at six pm or right at nine fifty.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You know, is there a drink minimum?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
No, it's an eighteen plus.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Shows all tickets. So let's say we gave you three
hundred dollars cash right now, and you got fifteen tickets.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Right well, I would just start handing it out to
my friends. I'd be like, Elvis Duran paid for your ticket.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Please please, please, please please be there.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
When is the gig.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Coming up? It's coming up?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, well, we'll give you three hundred dollars. Yes, I
mean are your friends. I mean they're colleges friends. I
mean they don't have any money, right, yes, No, what
if we paid three hundred dollars and we just moved
you up, we're your manager.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh, that'd be wonderful to finally have management.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Subsequent question, is this like a school talent show where
I can just show up for you and then leave?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Well, it's technically not a school like a real venue.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
No, no, no, I get that. But if I'm showing
up because I'm one of your quote unquote ten people,
I don't have to stay for the rest.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
No, not at all.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, the average person shows up for the one fifteen
minute set and then like goes out in the west
village and it's done. Most of the bands don't even
stick her out.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, I paid six hundred dollars. If I give leave,
we kids, Layni. We want to see you perform, But
I don't see any of those other people. Please. If
this is how they get them in there, you know
they have no talent. No, of course, You've got all
the talent the world. All right. Well, so that's how
(04:36):
it works, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So you're gotta give her the money that she'll give
the tickets to her friends. Yes, so that she can
fill it and then you'll get a better slot.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Hey, that'd be fab I would love that.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I'm can't you negotiate like a portion of the door
or a portion of the bar sales since you are
being a salesperson and you're bringing in all these people.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well that's the.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Stupid part is that ten guarantees you get on and
then after that you get if the tickets are twenty,
you get like ten of every ticket after the first test.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So you do make some money, Yeah, get some cash back.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, it works out.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Hold on, now I'm giving you money directly.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yes, I'm here scamming you guys out of money.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Now, the crappiest deal I've ever made. Anyway, It's all
a part of paying your dues.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yes, Hey, Sabrina Carpenter started somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I gotta I don't think she paid this.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
I don't think she ever had to do this kind of.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Take into account non tangible things like if you're talking
about this on a national radio show, will they bump
you up a little bit higher if you talk about this.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh you have to say the venue the night?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yeah, you read to promote it on your social media.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We call this a value.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yes, well, actually the dollar amount for this would be crazy,
more than six hundred dollars for Elvis have.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Your own show.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
At this point, I should I should send them this
little clip and be like, so put me at the
prod James.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
We're very careful not to give the name of the venue.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I don't want to get in trouble, and so far.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
We have not made an agreement with that.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
If you bring them this clip and say look at this, listen,
and then say, if you agree to give me a
better slot and some more cash, we'll mention you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Can we say there's illegal. I'm pretty sure that's.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
She's an intern.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, this doesn't work here.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, but you have to keep in mind we're talking
about a major difference in value. I mean they're talking
about filling that place up and making a couple of
thousand dollars for the venue. The value added we would
give you would be like fifty one hundred thousand dollars
maybe even more.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Mention.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, it's pretty expensive stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Hey, any big deal here?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah? As an intern, I'm already getting to be on
the radio, like I've hit my peak.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
It's not getting higher than this. I've called it.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, that's sad.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I got to keep my expectations low. You never know
what happened him higher.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Let's think about this after the podcast. Let's let's think
about this after we're done here. We'll take a break
and listen, listen, negotiate. Let's come up with some business
plan activity.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's good. I'll call my booker. It'll be great. I'll
figure it out.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What's that Gandhi?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
So don't forget you can throw an even more added
value with Instagram and TikTok.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
We do have the gram.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yes, all right, all right.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Okay, what's your cut gonna be? Elvis?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You get half the door.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You know I was going to cut you know that. Well,
beside all of this, you know, Leilani, we love you
and we have nothing but great things for you, but
at a cost.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And so it goes and the truth comes out
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The after party
Get your hair us together and we're gonna start to
