Amen regarding Tower and Stephen and Chad. Exactly what I have been trying to say in my posts; their rapid progression as venue management and bookers is playing a huge role in the undeniably improving overall scene, and I can only imagine what they will be bringing a year from now. It’s just going to take time for the market to be where we all want it to be.
Instead of sitting at home on the Internet complaining and denying that we are making any headway as a market - despite indisputable progress - I’d invite anyone who truly wants better live music in this town to go to one of the many excellent shows the Tower is bringing with regularity; and certainly few if any of them are bro bands or frat rock. In fact feel free to join me there this very week at The Black Angels/Black Lips show or The Dead South - just the type of shows we’ve had a hard time seeing with regularity in this market - and I’ll buy you a beer. The surest way to more great shows is to develop a reputation for strong sales. Period.
Also by the way should be noted that Scott Marsh is involved in the management and booking of Jones Assembly (still also working with Levelland).
