I LOVE small, imperfect bands in small, intimate settings for reasonable prices - usually right next door.

There is one awesome way to discover such shows, check it out: http://gruvr.com

Gruvr also lets you track bands, just add any band to the ‘band radar’ list. No account needed, and it also tracks YOU, so if you take your laptop to some other town, you’ll automatically get alerts about favorite bands nearby.

I’ll let you figure out how it works; it’s a pleasant surprise
