From the promoter/bookers perspective (and of course I can only speak from my experience) whilst we do sometimes "make money" on shows, incedentals, past losses (trying to get a scene happening and having less than sucessful shows), budget overspends and my thirst for beer generally eats up any real "profit".

I'd say the people making any real money in this niche could be counted on one hand.

Out on A ROMANTIC DATE. That's enough pretentious commentary, you mirthless clown.

chiptune can sell out without you selling out. if the standard perception of low-bit music is dance music and covers then if your tunes sound like Art Bears kicking an atari ST to death you are still an underground lich king

Not a great deal to be honest.

Sometimes I get absolutely minted for a gig, and then I put it back into the pot for playing some loss making smaller shows.
