This is great, and probably the way to go. We do have a number of venues who update their listings on a weekly basis, so we must be doing something right by them.
So it's sort of a three link chain:
1. help the fans to find bands they like (and help the band to promote themselves to a wider audience)
2. help venues find bands with the most fans
3. connect these bands with the venues so the bands play in front of large audience and the venue sells more beer.
Point 3 is where we get the revenue stream.
This is good stuff, and helping me see things a bit differently. Thanks
Don't forget to close the circle - make sure the (local) fans know what's on at the venues, even if it's unfamiliar to them. Remember being young and single, and going out for the sake of going out. The exploratory and habitual aspects of cultural behavior are at least as important as the directed ones - but I'll stop here lest I start to sound like a marketing course :-)

Lots of luck, and congratulations on the baby!
