bass players and drummers have the unique ability to write their own ticket in so far as being able to pick up a gig pretty much anywhere. I'd make the decision based on one of two factors.\n1.Which band has better dynamics in so far as band memebers being personable? No one wants to stay in a band with people they hate.\n2.Musically which band is writing better material? Even if the folks in the other band are cool and the music sucks or their playing skills aren't up to yours you're eventually going to realise they are holding you back and quit.\nDynamics and personality are a big part of the picture so decide which is more important and if you can have your cake and eat it too so much the better.

If you're talking like major arenas then Verizon Amphitheater in Charlotte is your best bet. There's a few clubs in the Winston-Salem area that get what I would call "B-list" acts to play there from time to time. The Greensboro Coliseum gets some decent acts too. In S.C. the Bi-Lo center in Greenville is the only one in that area that I am aware of. Hope this helps somewhat.

DMB is up there (or at least used to be before they got crappy) but the Grateful Dead has got to be the best live band of all time. Rusted Root is good live too.

Underground bands? OK, well if you're looking for rock then the bands making waves right now are the likes of Absentee, Larrikin Love, The Pipettes, Guillemots, The Paddingtons and Pink Grease. All of those bands and more recently featured in the Camden Crawl showcase of up and coming bands, and are getting loads of publicity right now. \n\nThe best place to look for new bands in my opinion is a website called Drowned in Sound (www.drownedinsound.com). It's written by fans from all over the country, so they tend to hear bands before anyone else. That was the first place I ever heard of The Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party - and they're both huge now. Check it out!

Check if your band has a fanclub you can buy your tickets through. Ticketmaster is safe in terms of not getting your credit card stolen, but sometimes will lose your tickets, as well as charging you absolutely insane service fees for everything imaginable. You even have to pay to use your own damn printer to print out your own tickets instead of letting them send it to you a day before the concert which doesn't get there on time all too often. As a last resort you can use Ticketmaster though. Almost anywhere is 'safe' to buy tickets from anymore as long as it's a company and not a ticket scalper site. Just check the site out and their reputation, the internet's pretty safe to buy things off of anymore.

I'm gonna have a listen to your stuff.  I'm always up for going to gigs, and Camden isn't too far away.  In fact, I'm desperate to get in a band, if I can work it out around my nasty shift work!

Would it be great to arrange the logistics for bands that travel?  Can't you get ahold of major tour companies to research this?

Most bands put a few songs for download on their websites. Go to the sites of the bands you like and see what they are offering, and if you like it, buy the album.

I'm a classic rock kind of girl myself, but there are PLENTY of bands out there today that are worth looking into. Some of my personal favorites are Dave Matthews Band, U2, Radiohead, and the foo fighters. You can also take into account the older bands that are still touring and releasing albums, like the Stones.
