The unfortunate state of eastern Massachusetts is that those are the only places, that I have come across anyway - 2 of those places I haven't even heard of before.

What alot of bands don't understand is how the politics within Boston (or whatever city) work in regards to licensing clubs. Places like the HOSS will eventually cease to exist because they operate without said licenses, the more people know about it, the easier the city will know about it and shut it down.
All Asia has already gotten threats to have their licenses stripped from them as well, because people do not want rock and roll to succeed for some reason.
If metal gets bigger, and moves towards bigger clubs like the Middle East and Bill's Bar, then even less bands will get gigs because those bigger clubs will only want the bands who draw the best.

To have such a club exist, that is all ages and can take chances on bands, then it would either need another business involved with it, or have it be more of a community, non-profit art space (or something along those lines). There was such a place but it was shut down last year because people take things for granted and break the small amount of rules that are put into place to preserve such venues.
