bands from new york city


Recommended Posts

i'm working on a little side project. can you guys help me out and let me know some bands that are from new york city?

other cities i think i'll eventually get to are:

Boston, Chicago, Gainesville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Detroit (the best, most influential music scene of the past 5,000 years).

so if you guys know bands from those cities and want to post them now, that'd be awesome too. i'll try to update the top post here with all the suggestions so there aren't too many repeats.

thanks guys.

okay, I'm not really going to help, but isn't Botch from Tacoma? If you're going to count that, then there is Neko Case and the Sonics.

But I stand by my aforementioned indignation. If you are going to ignore the best, most influential music scene of the last 50 years, then I'm afraid I just can't help you. haha.
