according to Wikipedia next to New Brunswick, NJ we have the biggest indie/emo scene in the USA.. kinda nutty when you think about it

Oo just remembered a pretty good band.

Portishead, from Portishead, Bristol. Bout 30 - 40 mins from me.

[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena]I claimed both for Missouri, but I guess I was wrong. Jay Farrar was from MO, though, and both bands spent a lot of time in St. Louis...

I'll just settle for the Get Up Kids, unless Kansas wants them back.[/QUOTE]

Yea, Wilco is from Chicago, and Uncle Tupelo is from Bellville, which is close to St. Louis but still in Illinois.

:)

If we're talking state, Miles Davis was born in Alton, IL, and he would probably get my vote.

wow, just remembered that Herbie Hancock was born in Chicago...this is tough.

uhhh... no good Florida bands?

Of currently active musicians, my favorite group from Minnesota would have to be either be Low or someone from the Rhymesayers label (probably Brother Ali).

Older favorites: Bob Dylan, The Suburbs, and Hüsker Dü.

Hello:wave:

Most Serene Republic are from my hometown... other than that the scene is pretty emo around hurr.

The French Horns!

there are three bands i really like from my state (MI)

we're pretty good friends with BVS, and have played with fordirelifesake, but i've only seen the black dhalia murder @ ozzfest. Awesome

The Red Paintings :cool:

Superchunk is from here

wait, does it have to be an indie band? because i don't really think there is such a thing in Croatia...my favourite croatian bands at the moment are The beat fleet and.....hmm.....well actually that's about it.....:)

[B]Scientist Vs. Werewolf[/B]. they're from mah town and they're pretty sweet...i saw them play live and while the guitarist was doing a swing this kid got nailed right in the head with it...

Flee the Century and Death to Grays, who have recently broken up, are both amazing bands from Spokane, WA, about 90 mins from where i live.
