🎶 Introducing Our 360 Performance Compensation Model
At Monsterboy Lives, we deliver an unforgettable indie experience powered by professional-grade tech, immersive visuals, and genre-bending original music. Our standard performance fee is $2,000, which supports our full-instrument setup, travel, and production.
But we also know that when you're building culture and community, flexibility matters.
To help venues, festivals, and organizations of all sizes bring powerful live music to their audiences, we now offer a 360 Compensation Model — a hybrid approach where part of our performance fee can be offset with in-kind promotional or logistical support.
🤲 You Know Your Market — Let’s Use It!
We get it — sometimes it’s not about having a big budget, it’s about using what you’ve already got.
You know your people, your town, and your scene. That’s powerful.
We’re not just looking for a check — we’re looking for a partnership. If you can bring valuable resources to the table, we’ll help you turn them into credit toward our performance.
Here are just a few ideas:
