I respectfully disagree that you can't carve out your niche by playing dive bars and never doing these pay to play fests...I can think of many, many bands that have great followings who'd never play a chump fest like locobazooka, or any such nonsense. And great music IS enough; people will eventually take notice of you if you just keep doing your thing, and it's good. Lastly, in reference to your "get a good number of fans out of it" point, who the fuck wants locobazookians as "fans" in the first place??? I'd rather play to an O'Brien's full of fuckers with integrity than some soccer stadium full of retards. Yeesh...but good luck, may your ozzfest dreams come true!

you definitely can carve out a 'niche' playing local bars and clubs, but everyone on this board has been to a show where fucken awesome bands played to a crowd of 3 people. why? because normal everyday joe 'stadium fans' don't even know that there is a good local scene. they haven't heard your music, and they don't care to because they don't know who the fuck you are. and i agree that there are some great locals that have awesome followings, but they didn't get them just by playing shows, they talked to people, made new friends, and promoted their ideas. they made sure everyone knew who they were, and they played a good show. if good music was enough, there wouldn't be these 'fests', bands wouldn't need myspace or websites, they wouldn't have mailing lists, and they wouldn't need flyers. people would just come out to shows by word of mouth alone. and a 'locobazookian' is just a person who hasnt been to O'Breins yet, heh.
