Finn Riggins Wins Sonicbids

Sonicbids is a total scam. Our band was stupid enough to fall into it to. It didn't take us long to figure out that they keep accepting submission money for events that the promoter has already CLOSED, they have never fixed their tracking service because they don't want you to know that the promoter you just paid $50 to never even viewed your kit, and they have NO customer service. You never hear back or maybe after four months.

We found a MUCH better service that doesn't have the BS, doesn't look like a cartoon, understands the struggling musician and works FOR us, and has customer service reps online up to 20 hours a day, seven days a week. Even on holidays!

I've used it quite a bit over the last 6 months and what I've noticed is the same companies (if they really exist) keep trying to promote the same gigs. I would apply and it would cost me $10 and then I'd get a "not selected" response a little while later. Ok, my music is probably cr@p. But then I'd see the same company promoting a gig almost identical to the previous one. When I apply for this then I get the same "not selected" and so on and so on. I've noticed this particularly in the category TV/Film/Radio. It seems a huge money spinner for someone - sonicbids and promoter.
I've noticed in one case I applied for a gig (cost $5) and got a reponse of "on file" because the promoter apparantly according to the status liked my submission. That was 3 months ago and I've heard nothing from them since. Then I saw the same gig being promoted again with a later submit by date and for $10 this time.
The only way I saw this 2nd gig being promoted was because I got suspicious and googled the gig name and type. If I go to the submission list I don't see it in there. Are there some smarts in the sonicbids website that check if you've already applied for a specific gig regardless of the date then it doesn't show the 2nd one they've created in the list so you don't get suspicious.
Has anyone else had some similar experiences.
