Live Nation: Walmartizing the concert industry...

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

I think Seth should let all local bands swim in that secret swimming pool for one hour a year like they let the staff in Caddyshack. It just might fix everything.

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?

I think when new order played last they shared a picture of themselves at the pool so wasn’t a secret to me….

Not really interested in the New Order pool pics, but do you think Maggie Rogers, Laufey, or Janelle Monae will be sharing their pool pics?

[Hutch]

I think it’s very unusual for anybody to share pool pics. In the case of new order I think it was just a pic of the pool.

Well it’s secret to most people. You obvious are a man who is “in the know.”

new order are probably the kind of guys that wear black jeans to the beach and if they touch water, most likely swim in t shirts.

Ha ha in 1980!!

Bernard is quite the sailor now…you wouldn’t think it though

It’s just unfair to say Atlantis doesn’t have local acts playing. Maybe you are just not paying attention. This just popped up on my facebook



And I will add that anything Ben Tufts is doing you should pay attention….if you really want to support local music and it’s not just lip service

I dunno, I think that's the exception, can't say I've dug deep on everyone, but I'd say less that 5% of openers are local
although it's typical for openers at small clubs to be local, that's nothing new
