Often when a band wants to hit the South but doesn't have what they consider a base in any particular market, they'll choose either Charlotte, Nashville or Atlanta to play. C'est la vie. Lame, incredibly. @jsf3000 Among the reasons we get passed over for good shows entirely TOO FREQUENTLY:

This is just a handful off the top of my head. Did we do something wrong? Do our promoters suck? Somebody tell me what is the deal is here?
