No need to mention the band. But it was a very well known prog band, not a tiny band.

I certainly don't want to single out one band, or point fingers at artists. We are trying to help them if anything by going to the show, or having them come out to play at one of our events.

What you don't understand is that for a real scene to happen, you need bands supporting one another within a given geographical area. It has to start locally somewhere. Not on the internet. It's genesis has to come from live performances, not youtube views.

There is a club nearby that won't book a band unless they have x number of facebook followers or youtube views. That's really crazy. It has nothing to do with the music. Also, those views could come from anywhere. And in fact, people are actually buying fake views and likes and other nonsense. That is what people are buying into today. Sorry, but that is not good.
