well here in the "dirty south",if a punk is seen they are usually harassed.that is probably how the punk scene got started out being called the underground.

only local groups around here are rock,country,alt or rap.

[QUOTE=Aus Rotten]There is one street-punk band from my town.

[url]http://www.theclaustrofobics.com[/url]

But, CT is literally a jump away from New York, and know many more local CT bands such as

Pistol Whipped Bastards, Rat Byte, and Copyright Chaos.[/QUOTE]
Wait, you're from CT?

Uumm about the promoting. Its all very easy. You book bands that you like.. If you book bands no one has heard of.. then people might not come.
For us. If we book the johnstones and say 4 really good bands, but lesser known. The Johnstones will draw a rather big crowd. One or two headliner local bands and 2 or 3 smaller ones will get a good crowd and make a good show. you CAN make money if its done right. We rent the venue pay the bands and if theres anything left from the door costs we keep it.

my town is a little village and our scene is 2 punks in the entire town of 300. although the westloc area about 50 km from us has alot more punks. imagine 2 people out of about 360 metalheads and hics

imagine one...

[QUOTE=Anti-Prefix]I can't stand any of my local bands other than Amateur Party.[/QUOTE]
I didnt like them much.

But theres tons of good Philly bands.

Slint
Breather Resist
Emanuel

Where do you live?

I've been meaning to help out my scene, but I don't think seattle is too punx.......Theres a local band from white center that has quite a following

myspace.com/ratcityruckus

theres always nirvana! :(

Sinking Ships
Champion
both seattle bands.

Here in Australia nobody really gives a **** about punks. The emo's cop a bit of flack though. Then again, I don't really dress like a punk so I don't really know.

[QUOTE=Lazybassplr56]Where do you live?[/QUOTE]

Santa Clarita, where Magic Mountain is.

You going to the Adicts/Blitz/Total Chaos show in Lancaster? I'm pretty on the fence about it, but I probably won't get a chance to see another good back again till Propagandhi comes around.

But then again, Total Chaos suck, I hear Blitz suck live now, and I've seen the Adicts a couple of times.

Although they are awesome every time.

Blitz only has one original member left, and they're not very good live anymore.

I'm seeing blitz at the Allen Theatre in Southgate.

Whens that? I heard Friday was in Lancaster.

The Allen Theatre is awesome, I saw Leftover Crack there. The nieghborhood is totally ghetto as well.

My friend Derek : Holy crap, a prison!
Girlfriend: Uh...thats a school...

Bands from my town:

Bleeders
Losing Face
Missing Teeth
Task One
Cold By Winter
Cobra Khan

Dammit. If I wanted to draw ANYONE in my town, I'd have to book MCR as the headliner.

Plus, I found another local band that was around for a year in the 70's and reunitied last year. [url]www.ramrodsdetroit.com[/url]

[QUOTE=Abandon all hope]I've been meaning to help out my scene, but I don't think seattle is too punx.......[/QUOTE]
There's a band from seattle that tours sometimes, and when they do, we always play with them when they get to our city. They're called Sledgeback:
