There's a band "No Men" ( https://no-men.bandcamp.com/album/dear-god-bring-the-doom ). I bought their CD on Bandcamp and wrote in the message box "I'd love to see you if you play NYC". When the envelope arrived, handwritten on it was "we'll be in NYC July 17th, come hang!"

They were playing a tiny, tiny show at some out of the way spot. The band was super nice. Basically hung out with them for an hour before the show. Their set was also amazing.

I even saw them again a year later and they remembered me and my partner.

I'm usually afraid to meet people in bands in case they're assholes, but this time it really paid off.
