Speakin' for Minneapolis, I think we get spoiled here since people usually go off to techno and have for as long back as I have been going to events...93' There's a lot of shows year in and year out.
Other cities around the US have pockets that keep it represented, but I haven't heard much about how expanded events are being received, or even put on.

Even if no one wants to hear it, my machines usually tell me what they want to sing. I'm at their mercy.
