As everyone knows, rock stars make disgusting amounts of money. David Bowie commands over 19 billion dollars to hum a single bar of “Rebel Rebel.” Keith Richards once made 650 trillion dollars by coughing up a loogie and selling it on eBay. Bono is so rich that he no longer accepts currency as payment, and instead demands compensation in the form of human souls.

Of course, not all musicians are so fortunate. Charlie Salas-Humara and Joe Kelly of Portland’s very own Panther recently popped up in Stereogum’s Quit Your Day Job column to talk about some of the ways they earn a dollar when they’re not melting our faces off with spazztastic dance pop. Check it out here, and don’t forget that Panther’s new album 14kt God just came out on Kill Rock Stars.
Panther plays Thursday, March 6 at Holocene.
