A couple years ago I interned at a small booking agency in town called Billions, which represented dozens of great indie bands like the New Pornographers, Calexico, Constantines, and more. I thought I'd check out their webpage today to see how they were doing, and my goodness, has that company blown up- it looks like it's merged with a couple other agencies, expanded a Seattle office, added new employees and taken on dozens of new artists. I'm going to guess their real success started once they took on a then-little known band called, um, the Arcade Fire. Opening for U2 has to do good things for the bottom line, right? It's nice to see a little upstart indie music business doing so well!
