Just act like you know what you re doing. In 1995, Fanali began booking bands himself, at any of the dozen all-age venues in the South Bay. The all-ages circuit that Fanali caters to consists of small clubs, community centers and abandoned warehouses. Unglamorous as it may seem, there s sincere intentions on both sides of the guitar monitors. And while it s easy to bemoan the lack of outreach to under-aged music fans, the Bay Area does have a segment of the music community committed to making music accessible to people of all ages.
Records are at all-age venues.
The premiere punk label has an unofficial policy of pushing for all-age shows, and its acts are some of the most adamant on the subject. There are circumstances where the bands would make more money playing over-21 places, but they choose not to. The bands I work with cater to the youth. They want to nurture that audience and maintain a good relationship. It s common sense.
