I mean there are local bands all the time. One of my favorites is Outer Body Llama and I have announced their shows here like 10 times and not once has anybody expressed interest by or expressed anything actually. They usually play three hour shows of original material with no cover and ten people show up.
If you want local bands you got to go see them. Just whining about the local scene sucking doesn’t do anything.
Maybe we need a local bands thread where people hype up local band shows?
