In August Sunset Junction was denied a permit by the Board of Public Works, due to unpaid fees. This left everyone scrambling to get money they were owed, including ticket buyers, vendors, and bands themselves.

Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance proceeded to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, and listed its total liabilities as north of $900,000. Court records reveal how much each act scheduled to perform was supposed to be paid. And so here it is, every single band and DJ, listed from biggest missed payday to smallest. Surprises abound: $22,000 for freaking Clap Your Hands Say Yeah? $20,000 for Hanson? Only $500 for swimsuit edition hero Nick Waterhouse? The full list is below.

GSAA

FYI - the amounts shown here are most likely just the deposit Sunset Junction paid to the bands - NOT the actual fee.

Alana

If this journalist had bothered to follow Hanson's career progression, (for one, they own their own label and produce their own albums) let alone see them perform live, you may not be mind-boggled by the fact they're 3rd highest paid act.

Pamela Chelin

Alana, I didn't actually put that comment into the piece.

Adam

From someone who came from the touring booking world, I can tell you that many of these are pretty exorbitant for who and what the artist was actually bringing to the festival. Sounds like the booking promoter got pretty hosed.

metalFaceHeadLips

Olin & The Moon for $250.00? Looks like I am going to throw a kick ass house party soon!!!!

Timothy Realness

TIMOTHY REALNESS IS OWED ONE MILLION DOLLAZ!!!!

Sim Jackson

12 fucking grand for barely-relevant Peaches? Really?

Really?....Really?

Lina

Peaches was actually scheduled for a DJ set at SJ (though she often gets on the mic for those). Live show with full band she would have commanded much more.

matt

You forgot $250 for Manhattan Murder Mystery!

Pamela Chelin

Hi Matt, they are actually are not listed in the list of unsecured nonpriority claims filing. Not sure why. Thank you though!

Pamela Chelin

Forgive the extraneous "are" in that first sentence. :)

AiméeCandelaPhoto

now it all makes sense. isn't the sunset junction suppose to be raising money? I think if they left things like it was when it first started small entrance fee and highlight more of the local acts it would still be a nice neighborhood event without this big mess.

Thisislame

Brenda Holloway $1500.00? Criminal.

Voodootruth

Melvins 3300! Buttholes 24000!!! Buzz is pissed!

guest

Pretty sure it's Milo Greene (with an E on the end).

Pamela Chelin

Thank you for catching that error. The band's name is Milo Greene, with an "e" on the end. Unfortunately, the filing lists them incorrectly as "Milo Green" without the "e". I appreciate the correction. Cheers!
