Do you have anything you can share? Assuming you're somewhat musically experienced, it's probably not as bad as you think.

I don't record much and the stuff I do record I never upload
I just like playing my guitar and shit
though I would like to branch out I don't feel like I'm ready

You're not missing out on a bunch.
Free week just happened and it was just aight.
Although it's suppose to be a great music city, all the local stuff is just sub-par it feels. I mean there's always SXSW and ACL, but it's people coming to the city rather than the local scene itself.

That being said there's some cool stuff if you go out and do the venue roulette, or check out stuff beyond just the usual affair that's playing on Red River, or "bigger" venues. But yeah, almost everyone sounds crappy mix of noise guitars, or variation of singer-song writer.

Golden Dawn Arkestra is groovy and their show are always a party so there's that.

I don't really get involved in any of the local stuff, I'm near Birmingham AL and from what I can tell everyone is basically doing pop rock, hip hop and metalcore. None of that really interests me so it hasn't been worth the effort. I have tried to pull together a band a few times, the two that came closest to working were a doom metal duo and a really poppy math rock band but interest waned too quickly for us to branch out and get established in whatever "scene" there is around here.

As far as finds go, this dude who worked with my girlfriend a few years ago put out this sick album of lo-fi hip-hop. Half the songs have acappella beats and I was pleasantly surprised at how experimental it was, if I can find the CD I'll rip it and share it since it is a pretty sweet album. I don't even like the genre but I was still driving around blasting his shit for like a month.

Pretty much. Last project feel apart even before it started due to insufferable cunts. Standard for this city, and everywhere tho.

I really don't know who's blasted experimental for venues or booking anything outside of indie/singer-song writer stuff for local bands.

if there was a nyc math rock scene, I'd be there
but I've never looked

Sam U'Elle Blackspeare - Undisputed Rawness
>hip-hop, R&B, lo-fi, experimental

The rawness of this album cannot be disputed. It definitely has a very bedroom quality to it, lots of tracks are cut short and five ends with some crazy haphazard riff that's basically acoustic noise rock out of nowhere. I absolutely love this kind of shit though so it was a real gem. Hope someone else enjoys this.

Unfortunately I don't have the tracklisting available so everything is unlabelled. I'm also not sure about that spacing in the name, it's written that way on the disc even though you'd think Samu'elle would be the more natural choice. I'm a terrible curator of local music history apparently.
