in honest response to the question, if I go see an unknown band play a show with 6 other bands at the small stage of a local club, and the crowd that showed up to see them looks like al l their fruiends from their high school, it does affect my view of them.
for one, I am more lenient if they suck. I think "oh, they're just kids and will get better with time".
Oddly enough, it also makes me less likely to expect anything good though...
