What's your local music scene like?

>from baltimore md

pretty boring desu nothing good comes out of here really.

I went to one DIY show and saw a sign that read "No Sexism, No Racism, No Homophobia Allowed"

I didn't return

Every band sounds the exact same and everyone dresses like Mac DeMarco wannabe.

>Greater Vancouver, BC, Canada

It sucks, even hyped bands like Japandroids, or White Lung are just shitty wealthy, progressive Liberal hipster fodder.

There are are a lot of experimental guitar-based shitty bands here that sound exactly the same, and suck really badly.

Hiphop as well, but again, they suck really badly.

Im from victoria and its pretty much the same here unfortunately :(
Shitty indie punk, shitty "experimental" indie rock and honkeys from the wealthiest suburbs in the city making trap music.

Few punk bands. Some shitty, but there are a few good acts. Other than that a bunch of shitty metal, and buttrock. I sometimes go up a little north, and catch some emo bands. Most are "Midwestern", but there's one really good garage/lo-fi group.

I´d say it´s actually pretty great. There´s thriving independent scene in the capital Quito, and in the largest city, Guayaquil though most of the good bands are in Quito. Most of the artists play various styles of rock.

Ghent, Belgium
one of the "Unesco cities of music", if that means anything. Tons of venues, initiatives for beginning bands, great festivals, most of them free. Recently the hype has been shifting from noise bands towards more experimental drone/ambient projects with lots of great labels coming up. On any given night, I can leave my place and go to at least 15 free concerts within a 2 mile radius. Can't complain.
Moved here from France so it's a nice change.

>>72147126
Portland Oregon
Surprisingly a lot of death/heavy metal
Fuck ton of indie bands trying to be the new shins too

>>72147207
I don't think that's the point. It's just a sort of indicator of absurd pretension and meek pussification. I get the whole PLUR, P.M.A, Treat others how you'd like to be treated concept, but some of us don't have the mind of a 3rd grader and don't need signs enforcing what words or concepts should be broached at a concert I mean holy fuck. Imagine hanging a sign at your venue that says "no bullying". It's fucking week, and weeker when it explicitly lists which kinds of bullying you're not allowed to engage in. No no-no words relating to sex or race mmkay! YeAh GuYs! LETs MOSH AGAINST sExIsM! Weeeeew

>>72148294

There's supposedly an okay noise scene in Philly but I don't get out all that much.

Techno artists everywhere. Lots of Indie Rock bands too

>>72147178
so everybody wins in that scenario, you don't have to deal with that and they don't have to deal with your ass

Medellín, Colombia

Occasional rock shows, occasional jazz shows, lots of salsa. Unfortunately, not much variety. But if you know where to look, there are good shows to be found.

>>72149063
Well, good god, you talk like a fucking first grader, so good on you, you fucking idiot. Jfc, get your shit together.

Everyone's saying "oh there's this ONE good group..."

Why don't you post their names and music? Spread the scene? Support them?
Wtf is wrong with you, like why not?

Jealousy?

>>72149063
Your spelling/grammar is atrocious but I agree with your point.

buncha dudes in their late 20s still playing the same crappy punk rock they've been doing for a decade. o one goes to any shows that aren't at bars.

I live near the Chicagoland area, so most people just listen to Rap, EDM or Hot Topic bands. Boring leftist state tastes.

Des Moines
A lot of garage rock/indie bands, not my thing but whatever. There's also a decent metal scene, a small but weirdly supportive noise/experimental scene, and a hip-hop scene is starting to develop. Electronic shows are kinda unheard of though.

Chicago. Really good.

The punk and DIY scene is huge on the west side and NW sides, as is the indi scene. There's a good 20+ active underground (DIY) music venues in those parts of the scene.

A loft space that came around last year also started doing a monthly chiptune show, which has been getting really good. Other DIY venues also do electronic, but not as much as concerts.

The hip hop community is certainly not as strong as the W coast, but we've got some nice stuff out here.

We also have a lot of above ground venues where local acts play, often indi.

Metal is not as good as the PNW and black metal is hard to come by, with death and thrash being more common.

Lots of free classical and jazz shows from local conservatories and art schools.

>>72150309
We used to have a really good underground psychedelic scene too, but that has died. Different loft/warehouses spaces around the city with live art, dance rooms, chill rooms, etc..

It was cool because it had such a diverse population from psytrance junkies, to art students, to old investigative journalists, to random burners, to just your every day psychedelic user. A huge yuppie/peacy Burner influx destroyed it though around 2011. Instead of it's raw, truthful, strange absurdity, it took on a yoga party feel to it.

Toronto. Obviously it has alot of everything. In every genre.

A very booming, fun and very much alive scene is the underground techno scene here. Hundreds of illegal after hours, dives, fronts that play techno. Sweaty grimy, drug fueled parties in basements and establishments that only open at 2 and go all day. Fun

>>72147163
but what about horse lords?

Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, other niggers rapping
Tobacco/BMSR are from here
Anti-flag too

music scene overall is pretty meh, limited/shitty venues, generally get skipped in favor of philly/some shit hole in ohio

I have a toe or two in the las vegas hip-hop scene, my brother knows some top producers here and one of them has two beats on the latest freddie gibbs album

Dead.
Hipsters killed the last independent joint that wasn't a bar 6 or so years ago.
Now I have 12 bars with shitty sound systems and an arena that books nothing but buttrock and rap.
On the plus side, I'm gonna be seeing Meat Puppets soon, so that's nice.

CLEVELAND OHIO
Always been a great place to see shows. Punk rock crowds really know how to dance around here. Lots of unity. Underground venues for EDM. Weird places you can see indie bands. Best thing about our city is FREEFORM RADIO , a couple colleges John Caroll and Case Western and Oberlin all have kick-ass radio stations.

Lowell MA

It's a college town with a pretty dedicated local DIY scene. Most of the bands are punk related most of them not that great. There's some jazz funk bands from the college's music program, but those bands don't stick around very long.

It's not the best, but it's a scene and there's music pretty regularly for something so small and DIY.

Chicago's booming right now.

Pretty good rap/hiphop coming out of the south side and everyone on the north side and their grandma is in a lofi indie rock band. Pretty solid punk scene too.

I was gonna move out to New York or LA but I'm gonna stick around here for a while because it seems like the scene's gonna grow for a few more years.

>São Paulo, Brazil

Actually my hometown, living in Austin right now, but I haven't had the time to get to know the scene.

Oh where do I start.

Funk carioca, which in all honestly is basically a hip hop genre that reminds me of gangsta rap; some guys playing rock, either fusing it with bossa nova (which in itself is a fusion of samba and jazz) or playing post-punk like Joy Division, mostly; a punk scene that is ok-ish; somehow Brazil's version of bro country is far too popular here; some samba, some pagode... Also big festivals, raves being far too common and nearly everyone playing here at one moment.

Though from my experiences in my last year of high school there was a pretty weird trend in my area of some bands that mixed riot grrl-style lyrics with hardcore punk and some heavy metal influence, EDM and Funk Carioca were really popular, some dude was into grime and actually made an EP, some guys were into Mac DeMarco and if my memory doesn't fail me there was this psychedelic folk band that showed up and they were alright.

As for Austin, how's the scene like, if anyone's here?

>>72158245
i dont blame them

>>72147126
I'm not gonna say it where it is because I'm pretty ashamed by it, but if you know this stuff you'll know what city I'm talking about.

"local scene" is nothing but niggers rapping, and all the "shows" (if could call them shows) are also niggers rapping, sheboons yelling, every white girl is either currently in a "relationship" with a black guy, or looking for one, and all the white boys are wiggers that try so hard no to be wiggers but still end up failing hard. The rest are mulattos and the folks you have no idea what their ethnicity is. Someday, I'm gonna escape this madness...I hope

Come down to Helsinki, we have decent venues and almost no metal.
Just avoid all the psytrance. I hate that shit.

>>72147126

>Montreal, Canada

Local scene is pretty diverse, really impressed everytime.

But in the French montreal scene, it's all these fuckin Cheesy-Guitar Folk band with singer that tries to breathe at the same time as singing like really close to the mic. Everyone's doing it and copying it and I hate it so much.

>Buffalo, NY

it's all shitty pop punk and old men in blues rock bands here

>>72147126
Chicago Punk and Alternative

They're all nu-males and feminists

Mostly bluegrass stuff. One weird sorta country sorta indie band - Firekid - that uses a modded gameboy in their music for chiptune backing stuff, and it sounds pretty good. I'm in Columbia Tennessee, we have a holiday for mules

south florida has one of the best up and coming punk scenes around. really tight music
a lot of the people suck tho

>>72150867
of course the mile end is a hotspot for indie..
I know we have a decent metal scene but I don't know where the "underground" bars are for it or where the hot spot is.

man the french just found out about garage rock. a couple of little garage rock/punk bands are coming out

hardcore scene started up again, it's a bunch of feminist acts but it's pretty cool

tons of electronic music but im not crazy about it personally

the scene is super hard to break into but it's not terrible.

and of course, like everywhere else, 90% of them dress up like mac demarco / 90s kurt cobabies

Gaytona has some reggae and ska bands, but other than that it's dead.

I want to start a surf/garage style scene, because it has the potential to spread pretty well here.

>>72148392
>>72147337
Downtown is all generic garage rock bands trying to sound like the Growlers, Allah-Las and Twin Peaks. If they do have any variation it's just some shoegaze influence, we used to have good garage rock pre 2010 like the Smith Westerns, Glyders and Grosse Pointe but for now it's scarce. In the NW suburbs where I used to live it's just as bad with pop punk that sounds the same except the singers sound like amateurs trying to sing B182 songs on karaoke night. All local pop punk is like the city's garage rock where it's a copy of what's popular so here it's just Real Friends and Knucklepuck copycat bands. Apparently there's a band from EGV trying to mix Chicago garage and pop punk, People are saying it could mend very well or be really bad. Either way I'm curious too

>>72153273

how's the San Diego scene? I'm thinking of taking a position out there soon and making music/shows are basically all I do in my free time.

Raleigh NC here. Not a lot.

Space Rabbit, Alloy Fox, Hank and Brendan, Matt Phillips, Tangible Dream

And me...

>>72167794
>Same here. Greetings my white friend.
This is sadly accurate, good bands that managed to last longer than 5+ years are few or are either stuck doing the same but more polished/tamed (like Mujercitas Terror or Olfa Meocorde), went through so many lineup changes that are hardly the same band anymore (like APZOO or DHD) or just dont play live anymore (like Cuzcos or Travesti).
The rest of the scene are just 00's indie leftovers, generic darkwave/stoner or old farts jamming
And I didnt even mention what could be considered "mainstream" scene because it's pure cringe

>>72147126

Copenhagen. Ppl brag about times they've seen or talked to Elias from iceage, bunch of pretentious assholes play noise at this place called mayhem almost about every weekend. Most music sound about the same and the entire scene is so inbred, literally all bands know eachother and it might sound cool but trust me you kinda get tired of it since most of them are again really pretentious.

I feel you on the cheesy french music I dont think ill ever get used to it. Do you know what the best places are to see local bands? Im planning on doing my best to get into the local scene this summer. The places i had in mind were Le Ritz, Casa de Popolo, La Sala Rossa and Corona theatre.

>>72158139
It's a scene but not a music scene

>>72166001
Dancing isn't music you dumb fuck.

Brussels, belgium
The rap scene is just emerging, I'm not a fan of rap usually but there's some good stuff and it has sparked a sense of pride for the city in a lot of people, I like that

>>72147178
Thank god you left. Nobody would've appreciated your presence if shit like that triggers you.

Long Beach, CA!
It's great and there is a little bit of everything. Lots of bars dedicated to providing a good mix of shows. Good house shows from time to time. Good punk and hip hop.

And if all that isn't enough, LA is 40 minutes away and has literally everything.

Ottawa, Ontario

Lots of generic pop punk/metal.

>>72148216
Montreal's dope. Bunch of shitty bar bands, people playing in the subways. Small shows with great underground artists. Music festivals from time to time. Raves. Classical shows at theaters. Well known bands at the Bell Center. Etc.

>Detroit
Full of industrial, techno, neo folk, almost every wave genre, cyberpunk and rap.
The black techno guys wear SS hats sometimes too

>>72166435
Honestly this, especially with regards to the punk scene. Very much a hivemind of kids and adult donothings regurgitating whatever the fuck they read on facebook and trying their hardest to be fidlar or mac demarco. The artsier kids coming out of the Logan Square area are doing some pretty interesting shit musically but they too have their heads so far up their own progressive assess that having a conversation with most of them is just as insufferable.

mayb im just a cunt tho lol

>>72159555

>>72168495
I'm enjoying all the EDM shows that have been coming through. And some underground stuff like the occasional Future Classic old-school "rave" events that go down every now and again in a warehouse in North Minneapolis.

I'm a big trance guy, and that community has been growing with more frequent, and more populated shows.

We've got amazing radio, too.

Shannon Blowtorch kills it all the time. Jake Rudh is great, even though I'm not a HUGE transmission/new wave guy. There are just a ton of fun dance nights, and amazing venues. First Ave of course, Triple Rock, The Varsity, The Turf Club and laugh if you will, but I love the Skyway as well.

There was also amazing pop-up parties like Colony, before they got shut down. :/

Our indy hip-hop scene has been crazy good for a long time with Doomtree, Atmosphere, etc. Rock the Garden is always awesome. We've got Illumination Gathering, Shangra-La and other stuff at Harmony Park and nearby Infrasound and Summer Set in Wisconsin. The new Palace Theatre is amazing, too.

It just seems like there's ALWAYS a show I want to go to.
Anything to add?

>Memphis, TN

pretty perfect scene. mostly post-punk, emo revival and punk, but there's a lot more to be found if you dig deeper. The heavy blues influence from the history of the city adds a really interesting touch to the scene.

absolute garbage. a bunch of trendy indie bands. and you're not aloud to play more than once in 2 weeks. it's a joke. plus all these clubs/bars have shitty house bands/djs that go on after you, and the plays usually empties after that. i don't get it.

Chicago's like a hornet's nest of hipsters who dress like Mac DeMarco and make shitty lofi rock.

>Minneapolis, MN
Died HARD in 2011.
Used to have a thriving electro/indie and hip hop scene but a lot of the locals moved to New York or Los Angeles and died hard there and never returned or disappeared into obscurity.
Minneapolis nightlife is standard stage four genetrification: Boring ass internet soundcloud hip hop, dancehall and darkwave make up the local dance music here (boring as shit), boring ghent/metal bands replaced Mpls' twee/indie scene. Have no clue what happened to Minneapolis' twee/indie pop unless they were a part of the LA/NYC exodus of 2011/2012. I don't associate with any of my old friends anymore I used to hang out with. Most of them became hardlined liberals, crazy cat ladies, bankers/lawyers, or moved out to the burbs to become Soccer Dads/Moms. Again all disappeared into obscurity.

Tiny town in southern Oregon so, country and cover bands and country cover bands and everyone is 40+

>>72171495
What bands did you know?

Ukraine. A lot of mediocre post-punk revival, bunch of cool screamo bands, a lot of rappers (every other schoolkid want to be a cool rapper), a few nice pop singers. I believe there is no big difference between countries in Post-USSR region.

>>72171495
>Have no clue what happened to Minneapolis' twee/indie pop
They all grew up. It's hard to cultivate a scene in the cities and that's why everyone ends up leaving MN or moving on with their lives.
The hip-hop scene is all Rhymesayers rejects.
There are punk and noise shows that still happen but I'm guessing you've outgrown the basement scene.

From Ireland. The place I live in has a very pub-oriented music scene, but we've got some really talented players. A lot of strange characters in the music scene here as well. My dad told me about this guy who practically starved himself to buy guitars and got malnutrition multiple times because of it. Altogether, a very talented music scene, but the players are usually very troubled people.

A LOT of folk and indie shit, a few decent experimental rock bands, and a few Mac Demarco-inspired groups that just don't compare. The rave/edm scene is pretty big here too unfortunately. Local rap is pretty much non-existent from what I've seen.

lmao what

I'm in cincinnati, scene's pretty great. we had a golden era of a bunch of really awesome bands pop up all at once almost two years ago - nowadays less new bands show up on a daily basis but the folks around are great. Lots of like indie rock stuff, huge focus on punk and goth stuff, big focus on fem/queer/poc bands which is cool. The experimental scene is really awesome (see >>72162560) - noise guys, drone folks (like myself), lots of group improv stuff. And what's coolest to me is that all of that stuff exists in the same place at the same time - I've hosted handfuls of group drone shows with punk dudes and indie dudes all alike. Definitely a little, like, contained and incestual (everyone is in everyone elses bands, etc) but i love it
