It happens enough though.  The vast majority of the bands attending
South by South West each year do not have any record company contracts
or contacts.  What they have is a Web site selling music, a few
friends making the CD's in their garage, and music for sale on iTunes.

Oh, they also have DirecTV and a few other television companies
filming and playing the bands relentlessly.

I was exposed to my current favorite band in just this manner.
