There is an audience out there for non-mainstream music.  We have the
NorthEast ArtRock Festival (NEARFest) here in Bethlehem and it sells
out in 20 minutes.  Most of the bands I listen to these days you'll
never hear on the radio, but they have big turnouts at concerts.  The
'net is great for this stuff.  Word of mouth works better than radio
play.
