Deal with the hassles of venues, travel etc. Then put effort and money into producing merch to awkwardly hawk. Stand in the lobby after shows with a sharpie in their hand, desperate to make a sale. Posters, t-shirts, mugs... vinyls. Which is another reason vinyl has had a resurgence. People actually pay for them, if only as an act of charity to support the acts they like. ...
