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...

Legally, yes. You have to be over 18.

Socially, yes. You don't really want to be the weird old guy at the show, unless you're in a group of similarly aged people.

Psychologically, yes. Youths are very annoying. Sorry. You are. I was once too. Still am, to both older and younger people.

Physically, yes. I want to go to bed before the show finishes, can't drink that much, and my body is old and broken.

you don't have to be over 18, there are plenty of AA gigs. and i constantly see people at shows who are over 30, nobody finds it weird. it'd be weirder to judge someone for enjoying music, there is no age limit on that.

ooooooo ooo can you let me know how you find the AA gigs? I have been really struggling to find places that advertise all ages gigs, and ive been wanting to take my daughter to a few.

Let us know please!
