Fret not, FRiend.
My “hobby” is local music. I go out at least once a month to see if there is anything worthwhile. It’s $10 well-spent. And there ARE really good locals, who are hungry and not stupid. Every now and then, you’ll get a band from out of town that is worth your while.
Check out www.bandcamp.com for new, unsigned acts. Here are few that get you 2-points on your license:
