I just read a pretty cool article in the city paper:

It talks about this local project to take recordings from all the bands that pass through Howlers cafe and compile them onto a blog and eventually into a huge downloadable collection.
So far the blog is actually pretty interesting:

A lot of the information in the article actually hit home with me. It seems other people in the Pittsburgh music scene agree with me that there are plenty of venues, not a lot of bands, elusive fan bases, but lots of potential.
Hopefully, blogs like the one above will act as a way to track down local bands as well as other lesser-known out of town acts. It might even give bands some incentive to play shows...if the blog gets popular enough. Maybe I'm reading to0 far into it, but I am definitely going to keep an eye on whats happening at Howlers.
