I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    bands aren’t disappearing. Small local bands are still cheap and great fun. I know, i’m in one. We tour locally every year and play a show every weekend throughout summer. We have to turn people down because we are so booked up. And that’s not just us, but most locals i know. People still love live music just as much as they ever did.

      Thanks for making music, I love local bands.

      The article is definitely one of those that pushes back on the editorialized headline.
