The vast majority of bands out there are small enough to interact with. I book shows in a small city, DJ on a college radio station, do some recording, and manage a label and the only bands that are too big are the ones you hear on top-40 or the Indie bands that explode. I could give you a list of hundreds of smaller bands, but I think it's more productive to give you outlets of where they can easily be discovered. Bandcamp is a good place, but really, college radio is even better. Almost all of they music play is stuff that has the potential to get more popular. Most of the bands you hear on rotation are smaller, and easy to interact with. Here are some of my favorites throughout the United States. KVRX - 91.7 FM Austin, TX WITR - 89.7 FM Rochester, NY Radio UTD - Dallas, TX KZSC - 88.1 FM Santa Cruz, CA WERS - 88.9 FM Boston, MA WICB - 91.7 FM Ithaca, NY KEXP - 90.3 FM Seattle, WA To expand on this and cover all bases...there's a lot of other sources for new, up and coming bands. You probably already know Pitchfork, but there's also the likes of: Stereogum Consequence of Sound Tiny Mix Tapes Drowned in Sound Pigeons & Planes Hype Machine Gorilla vs. Bear You can also check out some sites where you can easily compile playlists of this sort of stuff, such as Birp!. Okay, I think that's about everything off the top of my head.So my question here is, what are some bands that are small enough to be able to interact with?
