A few underground semi-regular events exist. We C-FOM boys have been
active of late (www.c-fom.com).. Toneburst (or whatever the moniker is
now) does quite a bit. ("Dirt" @ Montsurrat last night, Cyberarts festival
soon)

There have been a few weeklies throughout the years here. Mostly they
crumble apart after a few months at most, because it's a lot of work or
venues change their mind about what is and isn't a good idea. (read:
profitable) But if you're up for it, excellent! There are definitely
artists/DJs who would be interested.

Mmm.. but ninja tune != IDM? Although I have seen mouse on mars and u-ziq
shows sold out (or near capacity) they're the exception, not really the
rule, unfortunately. I've also seen shows in large venues with
medium-sized names go basically uninhabited. If I was pressed to give a
reason, I would say that a lot of college kids have the enthusiasm/time
to devote to music, but without publicity it's very difficult to pull
people in. Most of the percentage of folks I see at events in the Boston
area are either in the indy rock or raver category. YMMV
