There was a different kind of overwhelming excitement when entering the venue; one of my top two fave bands that sprouted up in the 90s was gonna be playing. After marveling at the gorgeous, vintage vibe of the venue, the next thing we noticed upon entering was how many young people were in the audience. It’s incredibly satisfying to see, any time a great band has crossed over into a younger generations conscious. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that the climate of music on the web that has made this possible. Even though most of Acetone’s catalog wasn’t available on streaming until recently, the dedicated fans who have shared the music on youtube and blogs have helped spread the word. I spent a whole lotta time shouting from the rooftop about them in the 90s via mix tapes and constant in-store play at the record store I worked at. The web has magnified this for fans, and has played a massive part in explaining audience reach.
