yes yes yesI think most if not all of the bands here have played benefits, put together benefits, etc. Many have played free shows and a variety of venues. Benefit shows are almost always a good vibe although let's face it, many bands are playing for next to nothing already anyway so a benefit isn't a big stretch. Many have involved media and some have been on t.v. Also, there's been quite a bit of combined art with fashion shows, dancers, fire-breathing dragons, etc. These are all good things and I don't think anybody could complain about seeing more of it. I can't wait to see more new ideas put into play. All the action is better than this goofy posting. Many a meeting has been called for brain-storming and scene-uniting among Valley musicians. Most of us just adore music and going to see the bands that we like. We just need more folks like us. Let's clone us. Let's teach the little children how to drive and go see us and our clones. Then let's clone some more of us.
i was going to go on a rant but it's probably not worth the time
anyway there is a synergistic element to good scenes that tend to snowballl ...... blah blah ... it's like a hurricane, it will build up till it gets to be a category 4 or 5 & if you work at it & you're lucky maybe this will be the next 'seattle' or 'austin' or whatever ........ we all do our part in this wonderful scorching hot valley to try to make that happen.
