Reply to comment by This_Cantabrigian in Local bands by MrSneakerr

Your comment reminded me, the rock and roll rumble is coming up in April. It’s not what it once was sure, but still a great way to see a lot of newer bands and meet people. Sometimes that circle of bands can feel a bit hard to break into, but it’s also a lot of people who know a lot of people.

When we still had actual rock stations who dedicated air play to local music and they sponsored this stuff it was bigger. Anngelle Wood still runs it and a podcast type local music show. A lot of the groups involved either as bands or judges tend to be people who know the host, so it can be a little circle jerky, but still a great way to network if you want to break into the local music scene.
