Yep. Unfortunately, it is political in this town (and I guess most markets for that matter). We have tried putting local talent together that we thought fit the sound for our parties and were some of the better talents that don't get heard enough. Too often, though, It's a popularity contest in some regards to get any type of exposure. But, there are still plenty of opportunities out there if you really want to play. Just gotta get out there and network a little. Sometimes it helps. Other times it doesn't.

It also depends on what you play. In a town where 'electro' and Tech House seem to be popular, it's hard to get any playing time if you play anything else. I play Progressive and Techno and usually have better luck at gigs in other Texas cities.
