I do! I hang out, go to concerts and festivals, and meet other bands because I'm in one myself. We're playing at the Elysee Montmartre (cap. 1500) in Paris next Sunday and have stickers all over the city.
However, I am not a label. Pitching BS and signing artists to typical label & publishing deals is not my calling in life. Being a studio owner, producer/engineer, and artist is more than enough to fill my plate and I'd be very happy to be able to fulfill those roles well already.
So I try to introduce good bands to people who ARE good A&Rs...but there are very few of both!
