Back when I was in school, that was how bands got a fan base, and as a direct result of playing at a different party every other weekend, got gigs in the local pubs, then teamed up with other bands, then got picked up by some of the bigger local acts... It was a progressive cycle that was actually pretty fun to be a part of (other than having to make sure all the 16 year old girls hid when we were raided by the police at midnight!) I dunno, it seems people want something for nothing, without actually paying their dues. Can't go from obscurity to the Annandale overnight.
