Sell Out means to betray, not to make money. Usually when a band sells out, it betrays it's ideals, artistic motivation, fans, or whatever in order to make money.
Modest Mouse sold out because they betrayed the idea of making good music in order to make money. Sonic Youth has never ceased to make good music. |

Ever notice how Sonic Youth resemble a certain famous super-team from Marvel Comics...? Maybe they should begin each of their shows with Steve shouting from his drum kit, "Flame on!!!" |

i dont think you can say that really. You might not have liked the songs Modest Mouse released but you've no way of knowing what their intentions were. unless you were their 1st drummer who they kicked out to make the mega bucks? then you'd know |

that 500,000$ is likely the total amount from the show (plus merch sales) and doesn't take into account costs (like paying roadies, tech, soundcrew, merch sellers, Ibold, etc).
I'd guess they might have cleared half of that (at most) after expenses which would be split among the core band half of which would be eaten up by taxes. So they made 30 to 50 K each for the tour... which ain't much |

Gross is one thing...Profit is another.
It costs coin to be in the music industry or do anything for that matter. Alot of bands perform at a loss...

Its not like they over charge for shows, so they made that money on their own merit in my eyes.
Good for them.
