Talk:Indie music scenes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is it just me or does this page seem to state that americas indie scene basically changed music as we know it today......a tad of bias methinks
Agreed, this does sound somewhat biased. There must be indie scenes in countries all over the world and not just English-speaking countries. Russia and India have thriving underground scenes, for example. Also, this is a question: does Boston have a music scene? Blackmorningsun
This is a really important page, but it was hard to find. Almost every (real, as opposed to manufactured) band should link to it really. Metallica were a prt of the famous Bay Area Thrash Scene, Ramones they Ney York Punk Scene, the Beatles the Liverpool/Mersey Sound scene. It'd be really good if people could start making more links to this page. Tubefurnace 12:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Tubefurnace, but I think it could use a lot more work. Cudos to whoever started it, but where are the obsessive music geeks that memorize every detail of every band they've ever heard? Here's where they should be dumping all that stuff. And it would be great to have more informed documentation of the scenes. Everyone seems to agree that the DC punk scene was very influential, but the intro paragraph (not the listing) only really mentions Ian MacKaye's bands and the Bad Brains, two groups that reportedly hated each other's guts... 69.49.44.11 16:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Providence
It's cool to see AS220 mentioned. It would be cool to see if someone could track down some info on Club Babyhead too, which was where Club Hell is now. AS220 used to be were Jerky's is (upstairs from Club Hell) back in the day; you could hang out in the alley behind Babyhead and listen to bands at AS220.
Don't forget The Livingroom, which gets a mention in Rollins' "Get in the Van".
If I happen to come across anything I'll add it, but don't wait for me if anyone else can add something. maxcap 10:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Factory Records
--Allmodcons91 (talk) 00:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)I noticed that in the section regarding Factory Records and the 'Madchester' scene, the Stone Roses have been listed as being signed to Factory Recrods, this is categorically not true. They release one single produced by Martin Hannet but it was released by a label called Thin Line Records (set up by Hannet when he fell out with the management at Factory). They're albums were both released on separate labels: Debut album 'The Stone Roses' was released on Silvertone, whereas 'The Second Coming' was released on Geffen.
I feel it's important this is changed because The Stone Roses didn't like being associated with the rest of Manchester, they felt alienated because of the austerity and pretentions of bands like New Order.

Ok i've now edited that as well as adding some background info on were post-punk began in Manchester. I've also added all that info on the North East England, Sunderland scene. Mainly because it's my local scene and i actually practice with my band in 'The Bunker.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allmodcons91 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
