Hah! I really do need to see some more recent artists in concert, but a lot of the newer bands I like are sort of region-locked, because they're not that well-known and the concert market is cratering now because touring is such an expensive prospect and everything's oversaturated now that everyone can tour again. Like, I would love to see Graveyard Club, but I have to go to Minnesota for that. The Inflorescence is in Cali, Tribe Friday is in Sweden. Even Los Campesinos! barely even tours the U.S. anymore because it's so expensive. Most of the synthwave artists I like are in the UK, the shoegaze bands I like I are Japan, the midwest emo revival bands sometimes make it to the Northeast but it's usually NYC and Philly, which is hit or miss depending on whether or not they're playing on a weekend.
