We've got a pretty strong scene here, lots of punk, hardcore and indie

I'll be lazy and let someone else answer the question:

Brisbane bands rock

By Emma Chalmers (23 Jan 2007)

BRISBANE has rocked its way on to the international music map, being named as one of 2007's top music hot spots by an influential industry publication.

Billboard trade magazine rated Brisbane as one of its five cities to watch for exciting new sounds this year, along with Beijing, Birmingham, Berlin and Marseilles.

It is a remarkable turnaround for a city that was viewed as culturally backward during the iron-fist days of the Bjelke-Petersen government.

The international success of homegrown bands such as Powderfinger, singing twins the Veronicas and soloist Pete Murray has rocketed Brisbane up the music must-watch chart.

While recognising the likes of the Bee Gees and Savage Garden, Billboard said the city's current crop of talent was threatening Melbourne as Australia's main music city. It predicted singer/songwriters Andrew Morris, Kate Miller-Heidke and Kate Bradley were ones to watch, along with bands Butterfingers and the Butterfly Effect.

Q Music president Matt Connors said the article would shine a spotlight on the music scene Queenslanders have always known to be among the world's best.

"Queensland has been producing amazing music for many years, but the growing strength of the local industry, with steady backing from government, is starting to reap rewards," he said.

He credited the live music scene developed in Fortitude Valley as being a key to Brisbane's musical prowess and said Q Music's annual conference was now regularly attracting the cream of the international music industry crop.


Actually, I think we had it in the late 70's and throughout the 80's as well! Hell, The Saints, The Riptides, Beasts of Bourbon (well, Tex anyway), Go-Betweens, Ups and Downs, The Leftovers... yep, even during the "repressed" years, Brisbane ROCKED!

The 90's saw loads of local talent that never went very far but bands like Regurgitator and Powderfinger "made it" (I'm not really in to either band).

Anyway, the cultural backwater that is Brisbane is still rockin!

In South Florida there's a lot of Latin music, of course, and that crappy electronica junk they play in the clubs. Most of the jazz clubs have closed, but there's a strong Blues org here so there are still quite a few places to play.

I've heard that some nightspots here will let you play if you pay them and/or you can guarantee a sizeable following!! That's mostly true for alt rock and pop bands. Some bands will do it for the exposure and experience, I guess.

Its pretty lame out here in Crown Point, IN. The area is flooded with metal bands. That's all I ever see ads for in music stores too. Its very frustrating.
