With the live music circuit currently being dominated by Ticketmaster and LiveNation, the only options left for amateur musicians are Pay-to-Play venues which carry mixed appeal, or turning to more outside-the-box venues commonly referred to as 'DIY'. These shows more often happen, in record stores, art galleries, residential basements and basically wherever a set of amps can be set up without drawing to much negative attention from neighbors or police. The major appeals of going DIY are the bypassing of promoters, giving the venue a cut of the door revenue, and any time or age restrictions an established venue may utilize. If you do decide to go this route, either as a one-time thing or a matter-of-course, you really need to kick into a high gear in terms of promotion and taking responsibility for things like a proper sound system. Otherwise you stand to face a disappointing turnout and you'll find yourself without any drink tickets to ease your pain.
