It’s a trend that local music promotion company Family Tree Presents, hopes will turn around. “You know, I have been noticing that there are less and less metal shows. There are fewer younger bands, which are the ones who are going to grow up and play in the bars. I think it is in part because of a lack of venues,” says Family Tree Presents’ Sarah Pederson. 36 Crazyfists’ lead singer and co-founder Brock Lindow shares a similar sentiment. “I think at some point we all become our dads in terms of the music we play and like,” laughs Lindow.
