Many Shows, Few People

There's always the danger that when your band often turns down shows, there will be a perception that snobbery is the reason. "Oh, you think you're too good to play with us?" But in a city this size, you just can't keep playing and playing week in and week out.

Faced with a choice of being viewed as an aloof snob or becoming boring to myself and the people who like my band, I'm gonna take the former. I'm not an aloof snob, and that will be true regardless of what shows my band plays.
