I've been chasing one for a while? Where are you located? Unfortunately, I won't be coming to the U.S. until november.

Outback steakhouse could work! What about cafe's/coffee shops, is coffee as popular in Austin as everywhere else? I come from a family who have always owned restaurants, pubs, cafes, take-away shops. Hospitality etc. Perhaps buying a little cafe in austin could be my ticket?

Hey all, I came back from the U.S. in July after living in chicago for 3 months then touring around. I loved chicago, but can't do the winters. Coming from Australia, Im used to warm weather. I only visited Austin for 3 days last november, but loved it. The vibe, climate, food was great...

Well, Im obviously not doing it for cash, if I wanted cash I'd be an accountant and get 60k a year, or open up a hot dog stand or sandwich shop. The dream would be to a&r for an indie label, and to hopefully brings bands, who have some much talent and would otherwise go unheard to a bigger...

Hey all, Im considering doing a music business/industry related course, a shorter course, only 1-2 years preferable. Im australian, but want to do the course in the U.S., i feel you have more over there and more record labels - bigger industry, plus showcases like sxsw and cmj. I can't...

I’m currently in Whistler, BC Canada, and its ridiculously expensive, has a poor music scene and not a heap of culture. Only some good scenery and outdoor activities. I’m moving to the US, but I haven’t decided which city. I have been to a lot of cities in the US, and at the moment I’m...

Thanks for that. I have now decided to bite the bullet and move to Halifax to see what all the fuss is about. My current lease in BC is up on the 20th October, so I should be there around the start of november. Is Nova Scotia and ok place to get bass gear, I have bought a bass but no amp...

So if it comes down to Halifax vs Toronto, halifax should have a strong scene for original bands, as well as being relatively cheap to live in comparison? And it has a fairly young population which should work in my favour? I was all set towards Toronto, but I'm glad some of you guys have...

Well, now Halifax is definitely an option for me to consider. As for what brought me to whistler, my mate I am travelling with is into mountain biking (has bikes worth $3k, and races etc), so I agreed to come here for a little while. Then after settling in I realized that I'm paying jacked up...

Can someone enlighten me on why Halifax is considered to have such a good scene? Isn't it a town of only about 200,000, when compared to the other cities like Toronto and Montreal that have well over 1 million, actually toronto is probably like 2.5-3million. Im definately interested in checking...

Yeah I did love Chicago as well when I was there. I actually thought Ottawa was a pretty nice city, but Im not sure what they're scene is like, although there are a couple of universities there, which could work in my favour with young people etc. At the moment Im swaying towards Toronto. But...

Whats the wattage output and what size are the speakers?

Hey all, Im an Aussie, currently living in whistler, BC. Whilst the scenery etc is great up here, but I'm finding it is too much of a tourist town and I'm contemplating a move to a city. With a city, there is usually more culture and a bigger and better live music scene. Which canadian city...

Hey all, Im an Aussie living in Canada. I want to come down to Portland for music fest northwest. Particularly for Mudhoney. Im wondering if anyone in Portland would be able to put me up for a couple of nights? I could return the favour if you come to whistler, or can somewhat compensate you...

Hey, Im about to book my flight to the states later this week, but can't decide where should be first point of entry, San Francisco or NYC. They are both around $1200 return from AUS. But what has interested me in going to NYC first is the All Points West festival lineup. Im planning to...
