For the record, claims of Hetroertzen being new are a bit inaccurate. Their current international exposure may be recent, but the band has been active for over a decade.

I simply had to ask how local bands, which perform regularly and may vary widely in quality, can bring in a crowd, whereas critically-acclaimed international bands can't. Frankly, it speaks more about the audience of the region in question than the bands, themselves. The drawing power is there, as other locations have proven, it's just untapped. The question is how to raise awareness, and that I don't know the answer to. From what I've observed and what has been reported, most of the crowd around here can't be arsed to leave their comfort zone. That's unfortunate.

Perhaps I'm an exception to a fault. I'm so interested in the international underground that most of the local scene goes unnoticed. I won't hesitate to throw down $20+ on a band from far away, even if they're just an opener. On the other hand, I seldom bother to see the same local acts over and over again if I've caught them before. That's just where my priorities lie.

Does New Hampshire or Connecticut have the same fire codes as MA and RI?
