So what are local gigs exactly?
Gigs of local artists or DIY-gigs organised in your locality?
Last year I went to about 50-60 gigs and in 2008 I must be at around 20-25 already after just 4 months, but maybe about 1-2 of those were actual "local" bands. So in the first definition that would make me a prick.
But if you mean the second definition and want to know if I'm one of those 15-20 people that bothers to go to some cold and windy squat/basement every time to check out some poorly attended show set up by some local dudes in their free time... then yes, that's me.
Holland is too small for local scenes anyway I have the idea. Rotterdam, Den Haag, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Tilburg are all between 20 and 60 kilometers (fuck off with your imperial units) away from each other and that means 95% of interesting stuff is all within reach if you're living in that area and are dedicated enough. The only place I just really can't go to that sometimes has cool stuff happening is Groningen.
