Curious about how much $ some MB favorite bands are making yearly?

Can anyone provide any insight? Generally curious as I've never been on the business side of things. Wondering how much bands these size make after everyone takes their cut. I thought this would be a fresh topic warranting discussion.
The Revivalists for example…regionally known, decently popular, tour a good bit, how much are these guys pulling in each?
John Moreland…one guy, doesn't have to split as much, is he making a healthy living?
American Aquarium/TT? Do these guys make enough where they don't have to "sell out"? I imagine some have families
Earphunk? Young guys, gaining popularity, prob as not many expenses
The term "favorite" in OP is used very loosely of course..

The lead singer is clearly netting the most because he doesn't have to buy shirts.

i wonder how much trey cleared in 2013

I would guess Phish makes around $1 million per show. Definitely that much for something big like Jazzfest. After paying the manager and whatever expenses, add in merch sales and I would guess each member clears around $200,000 per show. This goes for any band of that level, Metallica, Tool, Pearl Jam, NIN, etc.
As for bands that play clubs like the Varsity or HOB, I would guess 10-20 grand per show. Maybe 25-30 grand tops, plus merch sales.

Probably Trae...Drake spends what he earns on buying team apparel for what ever team is hot at the moment

Apparently Trey's net worth is $75 million 
Drake's is about $40

I've heard Phish on NBC, the Weather Channel, and the Golf Network. Not sure how much they make off those licensing rights but it can't hurt.

TT is doing juuuuuuust fine. No families, really, one of the guys is married but that's it. They are doing well.
AA gets by but they're not making a lot. They're still in a van and you have to bring in at least 12500/show (I think that's the number I heard) for management to spring for a tour bus. Also, they tour almost all the time, which is expensive. Can't speak for the rest of the bands listed because I don't know them.

I thought that was funny seeing that outside the HOB in Nola. You see TT big tour bus with AA van and trailer behind it.
AA will get there one day. I think these two bands tour 80 percent of the year it seems like

These bands aren't netting a million though. A good portion of that money goes through multiple hands before it reaches the hands of the actual performers.
I have some buddies that are music promoters in New Orleans and Shreveport. They had access to a certain website/app that allowed you to look up any artists and see roughly what it would cost for a show.
