...fits the following description:
early 90's airplay with modest chart success
a smattering of albums since
somehow, the still hold a following that will sell 600-900 tickets at $20-25 whenever they come around, despite a lack of airplay in years
There's no right or wrong answer - just curious to see what artists better minds than mine might offer

Gin Blossoms

Good call on all. 3EB sells a bit more, at a higher price. But, thanks for humoring my mental masturbation...
Any other suggestions here?

Nada Surf
That may be more like mid 90's, though.
-
Actually, they're exactly in the era I'm looking for... Nada Surf began in '92

PJ Harvey
Edit: Weezer did actually have a few recent (terrible) hits.
-
Can Live still pull out 600-900 people?

I'm betting Weezer sells a lot more than several hundred tickets though, albeit on the strength of not so great songs...
Nice pull on PJ Harvey

At $20-25 - probably pretty easily.
-

of course
people underestimate the amount of mid-to-late 30-somethings who haven't bought an album in a decade who feel like going out to a show once a year
-
PJ Harvey's going rate is actually more than $20-25 now that I think about it.
-
I think you're right - since she hit Black Cat in 2000, and it was one of the tougher things of the season to get into. She WAS $20-25 -- now she's a bit more...
-
Didn't she play 930 for 40-50 after that?
Sun Volt's "Drown" enjoyed a decent amount of radio play.

Better Than Ezra

Catherine Wheel
House Of Love
Slowdive
Good luck getting any of them back together again.

i've always been surprised at how often cowboy mouth plays at the club for $25 or so, and how often it sells out. they haven't had much/any radio play since that one song in the '90s, have they?
-
what about Cake? Everclear?

Oh yeah...that song about turning on the radio.

I was thinking it described more Rams Head Live, but that may be 80s!

Are you making a mix, DJ list or writing an article / paper?

Letters to Cleo?

James? They only played once recently, though, but they sold it out.
-
When was the last time Garbage or Smashing Pumpkins only sold 600-900 tickets to a show priced at $25? Seriously?
-
CRACKER
CONCRETE BLONDE
maybe TRAIN

It's a potential article. I'm bouncing some ideas around in my head, and am going to look to some of the fans on some of these bands' forums for some additional input. I'm not sure what exactly is there... it's sort of a rough idea right now.

I know the last time Garbage came through they did two sold out shows at $25 each night so that's 1,100 people right there. Hell even Billy Corgan solo had more than 600-900 people and was $25 if I remember corrrectly.

2 nights... if we're talking the 930, wouldn't that be 2,200?

heres a better question. How long would you have to spare-change in your neighborhood to buy a pair of $25 concert tickets? Remember to include service charges.

Per night :) Considering some people would be counted twice then or attending both shows
