In the search of good places for a band to play in NYC, I realized, what everyone has been realizing for a few years now......the venues are dying off at a rapid rate.....you cant be too selective now.....us bands here have to take the few there are and make the most.....Dont get me wrong, there are still many decent venues at NYC...but I do see the choices decreasing.....
I read an interesting article in this month's issue of the Deli Magazine...and the author was discussing this same issue and he offered a very simple idea, not to remedy this problem, but to help bands and venues stay afloat in these rent increasing times that we all live in....and he simply proposed that more people should make an effort to go out and see bands play, whether its your friends band, co-worker, a band on myspace that you heard and kind of sounds good. Don't just go see those bands that the most reputable blogs tell you are the buzz bands.....
Lets support the small (yet thriving) music scene and the venues that are out there.....I know thats easier said than done....but its worth a kick in the ass to make it happen.
See you all guys around some show in town.
