Sign in to disble this ad
Im just starting my Junior year, and starting to look into colleges and stuff. But just because im going for school doesn't mean i can't have fun right?  that's what college is all about.
So, anyone know a place, where theres a good music scene? Like a good place to start a band, or where it is fairly easy to find one. I like Metal / Progressive rock. So it would be nice to attend a place where Lots of those kind of bands go.
Thanks alot

having lived or spent a lot of time in san diego, orange county and la, i would pick the bay area any day if youre going to hit up ca.
come on out. its nice, and expensive, and pretty much always on fire or under attack by earthquakes. |

Of course at either school the same truism applied: the odds are good but the goods are odd.
Still too cold for my tastes. Then again, Atlanta is the farthest north I've ever lived.

Oh wait, you're form Atlanta, nevermind. That's the temperature of a winter day.

Yeah, too bad we can't get any major acts to come through Atlanta. There aren't many local bands either

Thanks | Computer Sciences is the general term, at least in liberal arts colleges.
In my experiences, I would say Omaha, St. Louis, and Chicago are the best music scenes. But be sure you're looking at educations too, not just colleges for the sake of landing gigs.

All have good schools. All have very good music scenes. Basically just pick which climate you like better and which major city you want to be closer to.
