| Comment | Some bands deliberately do smaller, more intimate shows if a promoter asks them - especially if they're in the country for other shows anyway and can 'piggy back' it on top of their trip.
There's a relatively well-known heavy band I like called Norma Jean. They wouldn't fill the Hydro or anything, but they've done SWG3, ABC2 and places like that. While they were in the country to play a festival, a local promoter managed to book them for the tiny gig venue in The Hug & Pint. The venue is smaller than my bedroom. There were 100 people in there, and it was sold out. One of the best gigs I've ever been to! |
