Dude... Dave Matthews rocks! Although he should write more songs about big cocks. Ladybird is a very good band from Winnepeg. I once gave the singer a "massage". T'was very greasy. It was like a cock fight with two greased up cocks pecking at each other. Magical!

we are a greedy boring crack town called Vancouver.

I've honestly wanted to start a band since I was 18, I'm 20 now and I'll probably still be bitching about this when 25 rolls around. I just want to start rebuilding a scene in this city that once was really strong from what I hear.

What a downer.

nah, I just know my city kind of stinks, and most of the scene does too.

To our greasy guest...

If that's what you're into, Vancouver is the right place. There is a pretty large homosexual population here. Very nice bunch, really... Just not my thing.

There's a band called 'Raygun' that's worth a listen... I think that they're from Victoria though... Most bands migrate at one point or another, it's just a shame that the BC ferries are so damn expensive, 'cause Victoria has quite a scene too.

Dave Matthews is ignored here. Along with Brian Adams and Nickelback... Don't mention them.

theres a rad country/horror band from victoria too

what a gem they are

the singer looks so creepy

No music coming from Vancouver? Here are some possible reasons.
-Abundance of marijuana
-Scenesters too busy talking ABOUT music to actually play it.
-Outside of Vancouver, there aren't any places a band could play without going to the States. Therefore the economic feasibility of having a profitable venture in a band is low. This problem affects all of Canada, however, in Winnipeg they just don't give a shit about that fact and just play music because there's nothing else to do so it seems worthwhile. That's my guess anyway.

Otherwise it's a nice city. It was recently ranked #3 in the world for places to live.

"nice" doesn't make for compelling art

Hey, for those into the Steve McBean thing, (Black Mountain, Pink Mountaintops, Jerk with a Bomb) check out the Hive site and look up "Ex Dead Teenager." In the unreleased section you can download their full album. Highly recomended. There are a couple of other note-worthy bands on there too... "Daddy's Hands", "The Measure" and "Closed Caption Radio." Absolute obscurity for the music snob in you to brag about. The site wont let me cut and paste the exact spot, so you'll have to find it.

Personally, I think that Ex Dead Teenager was the best band of his, but that's just me.

thanks.

i want to add to this thread that vancouver is not the worst musical region. a lot of very good bands stop here on tour.

HAHAHA holy shit you've answered the drought of music here

the reason I'm not involved a little better is lack of musical skill in anything besides singing or a little percussion and I have absolutely no money hardly

Actually, if anyone's a vocalist in Vancouver, one of my bands needs one. We're kinda mathy and abrasive... -ish. We've played some shows instrumentally and with a vocalist... Both went over well, but we still think that it needs a voice.
