I haven't seen a damn battle of the bands since I was like 15. Just because a band is not on TV doesn't mean they dont play shows. They still form a small percentage of what I've seen anyways. Bands all write songs, get on a stage, and have people come out and see them play. That constitutes a concert. Maybe not a large one, but a concert none the less. I see national acts that have cds in all stores and are on MTV and **** play those same venues I play. It's not like some biker bar. Additionally, I've seen big outdoor festivals, and I've been in crowds of 25,000+. I don't find it nearly as interesting. Good for you if you do.
