The Modesto Bee's entertainment section stories this week: on the cover Indie Fest, Off The Air's Birthday, and the Pink Floyd tribute show at the Gallo Center?
Does anyone even listen to "indie" music? I sure as hell don't know anyone. Is this how the Modesto Bee is getting in touch with a younger audience? Two "indie" music stories in one week???
How out of touch with reality are these people? On Thursday Pepper came to Modesto and sold out the show in advance. The Modesto Bee? Crickets. Saturday, Pure 209 does Groovefest out in the street in front of Tresetti's on 11th and 2000 people attend. Modesto Bee? nothin'.
I heard that only 50 people came out to the Modesto Bee's entertainment cover story indie fest on Sunday over at the Fat Cat. What a joke.
I think the Modesto Bee needs to hire some people that are willing to get off their collective butts and actually get to know what is happening in Modesto. Shake some hands and get to know people. Right now they are completely out of touch.
Either that or these promoters don't know how to send a press release.
