Going to a gig where you know none of the
acts can be a little hit-or-miss, but I’ve done it a few times now and as long
as you’ve got a reliable source giving you recommendations, you’ll probably
leave with something to talk about. Generally
I rely on my friend Nick to bug me into coming to shows, but this time I
brought him along to Howling Owl’s New Year / New Noise 2, because I’d been
following the label for a while but never actually been to any of their gigs.
Plus, their shows are always really decently priced.
