A Long Hard Road for Indie Music!
Hello Indie Music fans! It's been an interesting weekend here in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I had my arm twisted by some friends to go to one of those High-Class clubs with $5.50 Coors Lights and valet' parking. I figured what the hell at least they had a band playing I could check out.
The band was just what I expected for such a high class joint... Nice equipment, great costumes, hot chick singer and or course... loads of cover music. What is it with nice clubs having nothing but weekend after weekend of refried cover music?
Maybe it's a time proven formula with these places? Can it be true that Americans are so focused on music they've already heard that they refuse to check out a club that has Indie Music? Or is it a fact that Big Clubs dislike Indie Music even though they can skip out on such things as ASCAP licensing?
Go Figure... but it seems to be the rule of thumb that new, original music can only be found in small clubs lacking in prostitutes and unbridled cocaine use.
Bottom line: Screw the big clubs... they suck.
Remember CBGB!
