I can understand the position of bar owners, insofar as original local music/ younger bands do not fit into their business model. However, it is a damn shame that original/ younger bands are offered a very limited local venue assortment for their excellent performances (and thus possibilities for their adoring fans to see them), as a result of this limiting business model. I can only conclude that it is not within the reach of such bar/venue owner's/manager's understanding, to comprehend the subtleties of music's inherent magnitude. Or perhaps they do understand the magnitude I relate, and but are frightened by it! One might conclude that some among the populace (bar owners/managers) are not really concerned with the furthering of musical evolution, and are perhaps concerned with other things altogether (perhaps money) Why mess with your business model if it is already working? I would argue, that by inference, this would only fuel further the volcanic resonance of bold and incredible sounding independent, local bands, and increase the patronage and income at venues, which have the foresight enough, to host such awesome bands. It's about the music anyway, and if you are not having new music at your venues, you are pandering to an outdated business model, and to a generation which is blighted by the inability to change where change is needed and downright appropriate, if not essential. If you ask me, the independent/original local bands are where it's at. And they aren't pandering to anyone. -Up the Irons!!! Dear Everybody,
