i can’t imagine not going to a show every week to see music. if i wasn’t standing in someone’s backyard watching a local DIY band or going to a bar to see a small touring act, i would be rotting at home. i love supporting live music (especially when the live music is my friends!!)
i love local music as someone who books shows in my area, local bands are so awesome and i love them so much i highly encourage everyone to go to a show in your area !
the best community i have found is in the local music scene where i live. all of my friends are either in bands or are there to support their friends and their music. even if you’re not super into music, there’s still so much community in going out to shows and events to meet people you might not have met otherwise. genuinely some of the most authentic connections and friendships i have are with people i met in at diy shows in backyards. it’s worth a shot to just go to a show alone and see who you meet!!
i went to loch ness today!! i’ve wanted to go there ever since i was a little kid reading my monsters and cryptids book from the book fair cause i was a freaky little spooky kid. did not see any monsters but i bought a little figurine from the nessie hunter guy in dore :)
