Why bands are disappearing: "Young people aren’t excited by them" (www.theguardian.com)

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.

thank you for coming out and listening! Y’all are the reason i love those 20h days of playing a show.
