I'm not sure how things are in other towns, but the San Diego music scene is rough. THERE IS NO UNITY, only strong nitches + lonely stragglers. These strong nitches I speak of include: Art Fag, Single Screen, Obscure Magpie, North County's Cake Police & sure, even my own CS Touring family (I'm sure there are more, but I don't care). Bands/artists seem to be a bit afraid to span out & mingle with other nitches either because they think said nitch sucks or they're just too pretentious. How is the broad SD show goer / music listener audience supposed to know you if you stay curled up in your shell? Thinking your too kewl for your own good is blasphemous & unproductive. Break the cycle!
BTW - while I'm un-happy & anxious, what's with musicians in this town creating two bands that sound almost exactly alike & try to push both projects as if they're something special? Seems to be happening now more then I can ever remember. My opinion: your spawn band is a waste of space.
