In the past couple of years, in addition to many half empty Techno clubs, I've seen DJ Premier play to about 200 ppl, Flavor Flav entertain a crowd of about 50, and most shocking of all, Clipse in Leeds with a couple hundred there.. less than 200..one of the best live sets I've ever mind.

Radio One, MTV, Channel 4 etc have been pushing Rock music hard the past couple years, and alot of kids wanna go see bands instead these days..
The rock scene certainly is bigger than the last few years, things come round again and as ever its the perception of a certain type of music that matters to these kids and also where all the other kids go. Remember that even though they go to these nights its a mini meat market to them. Just go and stand outside the under 18s night at the Wely Club in Hull and watch em roll out at 10pm.. its like watching the old days at the orbit empty out at 2am.
