I like your first 2 reasons better than your third.  I don't know why
somebody would wear a shirt if they didn't know who the band is (though in
this case, I assume it's because of what's on the shirt).  Then again, I
don't know why somebody would buy a shirt from a tour they didn't go to

assistant: Hi Dennis -
hey're
But how hot can a band be (or did you really mean "whatever" as in genre) if
they don't have an album out?  Playing clubs only brings in a finite number
of people and possibly the same people over and over.  Without a contract,
the band is probably not doing extensive touring but only playing in their
area and not more than a few hundred miles (places they can travel to, play,
and get home the same day) from where they live.
A band records, they may get airplay, more people know about them.
Catch-22 or something like that.
plays
There are a few exceptions.  There was a band (ABC, I think) who were
supposed to tour several years ago as an opening act but had a major hit and
went out as a headliner.  Unfortunately they didn't have enough material to
be a headliner.
Huey Lewis and the News were supposed to play a club in Ottawa once but for
whatever reason, the show didn't happen.  By the time it was rescheduled,
their "Sports" album was a megahit and they headlined a show in a hockey
arena.
