Ludo-the-lumberjack-roadie is worth his weight in gold, from my
experience.
as far as gogo dancers go, about ten years ago with my former garage
band, we played in a little village in Holland, and the opening band
were a sort of punk band of very local fame.
they played two songs or so, and then two gorgeous half naked gogo
dancer girls appeared on stage and the crownd of 50 or so began to
cheer.
then the guitarist/singer grabs the mic and says "oh well, we
actually wanted a keyboard, but since we couldn't afford one we chose
the cheaper gimmick"
I thought that was funny. Local bars and so here in Holland sometimes
hire an Eindhoven gogo dance group called Lucy Dee's Angels. anyone
on the list seen them?

When they came back around, they had no dancers, but did have road
manager (Grant). If memory serves, Grant was the road manager for
the Amazing (Royal) Crowns & after the conclusion of the
Cramps/Crowns/Bomboras tour (February/March 98), I believe they hired
him on to do the HSF tour. When I asked them about it, they said
they could either pay the dancers or pay Grant, but not both. In the
end, the "roadie" proved more valuable & I can certainly understand
why, at least for a band on a prolonged tour.

finished our set, then hopped in a van & drove 8 or 9 hours through
the night to Switzerland. Now if you told me I could either have a
hot gogo dancer shaking her monkeyhole at the crowd during our 45
minute set, OR have a guy named Ludo (wearing a leather vest with
tassles, no less) help us load our shit out of the club, and then
proceed to drive our sorry arses down the autobahn in the dead of
night, all night...there is no choice, baby!
