hootenanny Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I've seen a recent growth in mainly instrumental almost jam like bands around here its wierd. there are a lot of them. of course there are still hardcore shows with 150 people shoved into a tiny whare house. but that is not exclusive to oklahoma. I hate scenes I dont think it works for the creativity of a good band. SOME MENTION-worthy bands: THE NON, EL PASO HOT BUTTON ( This guy is a one man band complete with drums and everything, He still manages to put on a hell of a show), and SPEAK OUT ( because I have to your welcome greg).

flicker Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Omaha is full of hipsters.Eagle*Seagull http://www.myspace.com/eagleseagull (for fans of Sunset Rubdown) Coyote Bones http://www.myspace.com/coyotebones (for fans of owls? (not the band, the animal....)) i really like coyote bones, we rarely have bands play in our town but little brazil and coyote bones came once and they were cool the C-boners are tons of fun. They alaways seem to put on a great high energy show every time. E*S is pretty great too. Although the record labels seem to hate them...

xxmartinxx Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Some of the bigger bands from my town, currently : http://www.myspace.com/deadhearts http://www.myspace.com/lemuria http://www.myspace.com/everytimeidie http://www.myspace.com/cuteiswhatweaimfor http://www.myspace.com/itdiestoday So it's all over the place here.

swank Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Toronto used to have a pretty strong Punk scene, and a surprisingly big Ska scene, back in the late 90s/early 2000s. But with the closing of the vast majority of all ages clubs, that scene doesn't really exist anymore. Its mostly hardcore and sort of trashy/glam-punk kind of bands now, it seems. Once you get into the surrounding suburbs, where the "scenes" were the strongest back in the day (burlington especially), now basically every band just mimics Alexisonfire. Maybe I'm just old and don't know where the good parties are anymore (haha), but thats what the Toronto scene seems like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew13 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 http://myspace.com/thepaxcecilia and http://myspace.com/somethinginitself at least they were when i last payed attention, which was around the time SII broke up. any more i just book touring bands i like, try to toss signal home on the bill, and call it a show. these last 2 years, i've just had no desire to go to local shows without SII playing, since all that's played around here is emo and metal.

controlthebleeding Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I live in Austin so there this town is pretty diverse. Everyone supports just about every scene. We have a variety of touring acts here that any one person can support. I can go see Atmosphere one week, and then go support WOrld BURNS TO DEATH the following tues night. Most here are pretty open to different genres of music, which makes it a good place for festivals like SXSW, FUN FUN FUN FEST, and Austin City Limits. So rather than most supporting one scene, we support several at a time, which is enough for every scene to flourish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skumbucket Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 despistado killed. saddes break-up since filmmaker. also, that may be the case right now, but due solely to the weakerthans, greg macpherson, and propagandhi winnipeg has the all-time edge.

corbet Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Honestly, Toledo's scene is incredibly shitty because there is no scene. I actually went to a show in a much smaller, "middle of nowhere" town and their scene was actually huge. Granted, it was a bunch of 15 year-old scenesters but it's better then nothing I guess. EDIT: We used to have some decent bands around here, and "We are the Fury" are from Toledo, but alot of people around here think they sold out (their music used to be sooo different before they changed their name). But sadly most bands broke up due to the lack of a scene! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, G7 Welcoming Committee circa 5 years ago was awesome. Gmac is still as solid as ever.
