You must not be looking in the right place for live music shows, I guess. I've heard of shows happening in Cincy and northern KY. If there aren't enough happening for your taste, get a house with a basement and throw your own.
Charalambides are a band who enjoy playing in people's houses. I've had them in my living room twice, plus Tom Carter solo one other time, and Christina solo or with guests has played at other friends' houses in Davis, plus even an impromptu show in the hallway of a building here at UC Davis (that was recorded on her ghostly awesome "We've" CDR with Gown).
Since the divorce of Tom and Christina, I've sensed a lot more tension in their performances. They build up to "ferocious" even...pretty awesome!
Tom's coming to Davis in August again to play some trombone for us in a hole in the ground....
yes, literally a hole in the fuckin' ground!
Take that as a suggestion to make your town have more choices than just Brittney Spears.
