I think I attempted to answer that question with a previous response. BUT, since we are talking now about the smaller venues like the Turf, The Triple Rock, the 400 Bar, and a multitude of others, I guess we can focus on the artists rather than the agencies. Since clubs like First Avenue's main room and the brand new MYTH (over 4,000 capacity, I was told), the Quest, and possibly the Fine Line, it comes down to agency support.
On the other hand clubs like the Turf and the Triple Rock (not to mention suburban spots like Renegades or Star Central) all seem to have working relationships with the local bands that attract audiences to their specific rooms. This again, is a situation that hasn't changed much except the drinking age increased and the number of roooms depending on 18+ and all age concerts have increased drastically. There is also a much larger separation now between what club's can get away with in terms of diversity. The Medina Ballroom does better with COuntry and MEtal acts than with World Beat or Reggae. The showcase clubs can have diversity still, but cannot get as many people out for developing artists.
I could go on and on. But, what was the question?
