roving community

Last night I went to watch some bands and I realized I’ve been going to shows by some of the musicians there for about 15 years.

Right now I usually see them at the local legion, but I’ve watched them in pizza places, pubs, coffee shops, restaurants, theatres, a record shop, and above a bookstore, most of which are now closed (!).

When I started going to shows I found out about them via a local online forum, but now it’s Facebook.

I used to stream their music on MySpace, and we’ve gone through several other iterations including Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

The places and platforms change but they keep finding ways to put their music out there and I keep finding ways to listen to it.
