there is reports of other bands before using the pyrotechnics in the club.
is it possible that the owners were not aware? even if not in the contract,
if they were aware and took no action....this is going to take a time to
play out.

Having played as a "union" musician in my younger days, if it's not
spelled
out in the contract the club shouldn't be held responsible for the
band's
actions.  Word-of-mouth agreements don't hold much water, because, as I
said, it's a standard union contract.  All elements of the performance
are
spelled out: length of sets, lighting, equipment provisions and yes,
pyrotechnics.  If it's not in the contract then it's outside of the
agreement and the club could legally state that the pyros were
unauthorized.

Well, the band leader says the club management gave persmission and the
management says they did not. I saw the band leader interviewed and he
sounded bogus to me. They have other clubs who say the pulled the same
crap
with them.

So "who" is a good question!
