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.

Definitely agree with the dude talking about how niche music has gotten. And to the dude who said "all new music sucks", get out from under your rock man. Theres just so many bands/artists creating so much music now, some is bound to be good. Its easier than ever to record a song and get it out on the internet. The bloat makes it harder to find stuff you jive with, but when you do it almost feels tailor made for your ears.

that feeling when you find a rabbit hole song with a full catalogue behind it.

I just discovered Snarky Puppy last night, and when I saw their catalog I just leaned back in my chair and smiled.

That band makes me lose my mind. The rhythm section is just amazing.

Snarky Puppy - Binky

kinda reminds me of the brass against cover of forty six & 2.
