In return more people might show up and you will get paid more. 2) bands don't go out to support other bands unless they are on the same bill together. I realize paying a cover sucks but you do realize that if you drop $5 to see a band once in awhile you could ask them to come to your show and maybe you'll get that $5 back. I know it's not about the money but that is a big part of what stops people from going to shows in EC. I see two issues in regards to attendance at local shows…

I play in a band called Laarks, and it's ridiculously hard to get a consistent draw in EC. I wish other people in the area would realize what we had was special.

Less "sea-shanty" and more straight folk. Meridene kinda reminds me of Great Lake Swimmers, but without the wishy-washy floaty feeling. Less “sea-shanty” and more straight folk.
