Your Scene
 

Who has the best scene? (out of us MX'ers)

This is something new im brainstorming. Simply post your city and 5 links of your favorite and/or most popular local bands (preferrably Myspace or Purevolume). Bands must be within the punk or ska genre. I'll post another thread after we finish this one so we can vote...But for me its..

Someone else would probably be better off doing Detroit than me. All I know we've got is Buck, and Nuke and the Living Dead.

Actually I think Koffin Kats are a Detroit band.

Wow, my scene is awesome

[QUOTE=FunknPunk]vermont doesn't have a sceneeeee...[/QUOTE]
yesss it does. Uuumm you know where smugglers notch and stowe is? go to any of the local bars.

Our scene is non existent. The only good band is Monkey Jacket and then an okay band called Chinese Happy. Oh, Bear Vs Shark are from Michigan aren't they? We win.

Wait: we also have a band called 9miles2go except they're really bad.

Had this been asked a few years ago, I could give you some names. Now there's just a couple of bands I know.

Mustard Plug came from my city, though.

This ska band is pretty good, too:

I don't get it when people say they ahve no scene.

Book some good bands out there, start your own band, get your scene to grow.

Yeepp. Its all very easy.. like if [U][B]I[/B][/U] can do it.. anyone can

There is one street-punk band from my town.

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.

They're mostly all hardcore bands.

I can't stand any of my local bands other than Amateur Party.

Around SF and Berkeley = good scene
Vallejo and Solano County in general = crap/no scene

5 bands only people. 5 only

[QUOTE=.Jessica.]Yeepp. Its all very easy.. like if [U][B]I[/B][/U] can do it.. anyone can[/QUOTE]
How do you book bands? Plus, I don't wanna book a band for a show that will just be me and three of my friends because everyone else will just look at the flyer and go "Huh? Reatards? They sound like bad band."

[QUOTE=Anti-Prefix]I can't stand any of my local bands other than Amateur Party.[/QUOTE]
no Boils? or Cranked up!, Bob and the Sagets?

[QUOTE=.Jessica.]Yeepp. Its all very easy.. like if [U][B]I[/B][/U] can do it.. anyone can[/QUOTE]
do you make money doing this?

We have Parwana, and Chinese Delivery, too.

Texas

come on, theres only like 5 people who posted enough stuff. whore off your local bands brothas..

I am my scene.

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.

HAha isnt that your thing?

[QUOTE=40 oz 2 freedom][url]www.txhc.com[/url][/QUOTE]

You got some pretty good bands around there.

The only band that I really like from here is Miles Away.

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.
