Today, I was in a band with some friends and we got our first gig at a local festival, but I'd already agreed to work serving drinks at the festival. My bandmates got really annoyed and kicked me out of the band. They then went ahead and performed the song that I WROTE, without me, at the festival where I was working. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my band got booed off stage. FML
Today, my bandmates showed up to our gig drunk. Our drummer kept losing the rhythm and the lead guitarist was more concerned about staying drunk than playing the right notes. In the middle of a song, they both gave up, put down their instruments, and kept sipping a beer, while at least cheering me on while I finished it. FML
Today, I got kicked out of my band by the guy who quit two weeks ago. The bad part? Everyone else agreed with him. FML
Today, I got kicked out of my favorite pub. I yelled at the group behind me for being annoying. They were extremely irritating, singing songs and cheering, but the manager decided to kick me out instead. FML
Today, at a talent show, my band got booed before we even started playing. FML
Today, my band and I played at our first ever real gig. Our drummer turned up high out of his damn mind. After ruining our act with his godawful performance, he screamed "HELL YEAH!" then ran and dove off the stage into a nearly non-existent audience. We were told to never come back. FML
Today, my (now former) best friend kicked me out of the band I started because I wasn't 'dedicated enough' after a 3 day 'holiday' to visit my dying uncle. He also during this 3 day 'holiday' convinced my girl friend to leave me and date him. FML
Today, ever supportive of my friends, I went to a concert and tried to really get into the music. I was jumping and dancing, only to realize I was at the wrong concert. My friend's band was playing next door. I spent half an hour dancing with strangers to music I didn't even really like. FML
Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML
Today, I had drinks at a friend's house before going out to a concert. I still had a bottle of beer left, so I brought it along with me. I got kicked out five minutes into the show for bringing my own drink, which is apparently against the rules. I paid $75 to get kicked out over a $3 drink. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why not back out of serving drinks?

If you're serious about your music you need to be putting your music first if you want to be a successful musician. Your band mates seem like they know this as they don't want someone who wont prioritize the band the same way they do as a member. Take this as a learning opportunity if you make amends with the band or join/form a new one.

I'll bet the drinks were better than your song.

I’ll agree. That was cruel. Then again Dick Pencil has a habit making comments and acting as his name implies.

Look, serving drinks would just make the whole band seem uncool and would jeaopardise their future. Do you understand nothing about rock n roll? As for performing your song, wtf did you expect?

Which is the bigger problem? The festival having to replace a server, or your band having to replace a musician? Who do you think guests will remember? The servers or the performers?

This is--literally--an episode of Parks and Rec. Is the name of your band Mouse Rat?
