| hello from a fellow bay area-er. IMO your band sounds good. Nice rhythm section stuff. Honestly that style is not my cup of tea, but the band sounds great. Unfortunately you are in Tampa and getting support for original music is like pulling teeth. Try to look around at other bands i.e., rebbekah pulley and see what they have done to maintain a descent following. It may take a few years to get something consistent happening. Or leave tampa, that is what a lot of bands do.
On a side note, and believe me, I am no expert on hip. I am not sure if that style of music is as popular as it once was back in the RATM days. I could be wrong, and I am certainly not saying to go the way of the Gaga. Also try St. Pete, there are a few metal friendly bars there. Good luck and I will look out for your band.
