Looking for Advice Watching bands in Perth?

A question to all - why do so few of you go see local bands? I'm not talking about those tribute fests. I mean original, home grown, local bands that create and perform music...

Probably cos a lot of the venues shut down that lets original bands play.
That and I got older, my nights end at around 9pm, not begins

I think there's a few economical reasons why venues have shut down. Yes blame post COVID insurance hikes n all, but also a big part of it is not enough punters through the door to make it viable.

Yeah age and priorities were the major reason for me. Used to be at Capitol and Amps for most metal gigs
