Hey Bryan,
I hope the band didn't walk out of the meeting because they thought it was
"rock" to do that. I know of a few bands that have done things like this
(walked out of meetings, or refused invitations by labels to showcase for
them) because they'd heard from other bands that labels are attracted to
these types of displays of arrogance. In most cases, I would imagine that
such moves would work to the bands' detriment.
David
