Somebody's watch in' you
You know what I saw the other day? A membership card to the Crow’s Nest East. I was there when it closed. The crowd tore the place apart while the Savage Grace and All the Lonely People played. It was, in many ways, the epitome of what has happened in the last 18 months in this town.

New groups, last year’s young kids who used to play anywhere for almost anything just to play their music, don’t do that anymore. Most of them have records out and their prices went up.
Now I can see the validity in charging $750 at the Eastown but to ask the same price from Silverbell is ridiculous. The Hideouts used to book groups. The Crows Nests. Something Different. Silverbell. The Grande. The high schools. All share the praise for keeping the second-wave bands alive.
The groups charge more, clubs have to raise their admission prices andTthe kids can’t support them. The result; the clubs go under, groups find themselves with no gigs and kids don’t got no music!
