Keep in mind also that last time I checked, *both* the Cave and Local 506 were strictly 21-and-over venues, albeit with varying levels of ID-checkage at the Cave, at least. That is very much an "unapproachable" factor for the majority of undergrads.
This was something I was going to bring up, too, and I think Randy hit upon it as well when he mentioned that Charlotte had a good *high school* scene. This is indeed a balding rock scene, very much post-drinking age. Which is odd, 'cause compared to other scenes, the drinking ain't a big part of it.
But for all our sprawl, we dont' really have a suburban scene that feeds into the metro scene. I grew up in the greater Boston area, and you definitely had the "kids" bands (Gang Green, Throwing Muses) that got the matinees in the clubs, and the "grown-up" bands that never did all ages shows (Blackjacks, Til Tuesday), but there was continuity between it. Like how Til Tuesday won the battle of the bands one year, followed by Gang Green the next year, who did their own version of Voices Carry. Some of it must have to do with the transient nature of the area- I bet a lot of the high schoolers here go elsewhere for college, and we all know how many transplants there are here.
