      That's why I prefer smaller bands in independent venues.

        Independent venues in the US are a dying breed. This unspeakable conglomerate has been buying them up like crazy, which is why my proposed regulations included a wall of separation between the ticket brokers and the venues.

        Think it, be it.

          Here in Germany, they seem to be holding up, with gentrification being one of the bigger threats.

          If all else fails, I'm back to punk shows in squatted houses 😉

            @tody if there’s one thing I learned in Berlin, it’s that Germany is behind the US in the enshittification process. I really enjoyed it there and we could learn some things.

              @mclaincausey I've been using cashortrade.org for years. No tickets sold over face are allowed, and they've created an awesome community on there so the process is pretty seamless. Generally pretty jam or jam adjacent focused but you can find tons of other other acts on there too.

                  Went to see Mike Watt and his Italian sidekicks Il Sogno Del Marinaio
                  Fantastic concert. I have a huge respect for everything MW did throughout his carreer

                                @Matt what he and the Minutemen did was enough to establish him as a legend and he’s been nonstop ever since. Just wish Boon hadn’t died so young.

                                    I saw Mike Watt in this version of The Stooges when the Ashton brothers were back in the lineup. This is a great set.

                                      Yeah, also seen Watt with the Secondmen and that gig was one of the best ever. He is doing well, has some temporary issues - walks with a crutch, yet still performs with perfection and preciseness of a true legend. And for sure, ends every gig with a scream “Start your own band!!!!”

                                        NOFX on their final tour in Cologne. It sucked badly.

                                            @tody your last comment gave me a good chuckle and poses a good question - on a band's last tour is it better to suck or to nail it? I can see pros and cons to both arguments.
