Everybody loves to go see there favorite band play live. Rock fans often listen to Rock n’ Roll lore about when their favorite band was just starting out and what the “scene” was like that produced them, and they moan the fanboy lament: “Man, I wish I go go back in a time machine and see _that_.” People! Go out and see what the artists in your own town have to offer! I’m in a wonderful point in my music-fan life right now in: I get to see most of my favorite bands play live several times a month! Almost every week I see at least one of my favorite bands perform! And I get to see them in intimate venues! And I get to see them mix and collaborate and book shows together and jam and it’s freaking awesome!
