Back in the late 80's early 90's, as you all are aware, L.A. had a HUGE rock scene. There are still some hold outs but something has changed dramatically. From what I understand, L.A. is become more Spanish, as in people from Mexico and even radio stations are starting to broadcast in Spanish. Lets face it....That scene was made up mostly of White English speaking Americans and I don't see the new immigrants there being into this music or bringing in a Mexican wave of Glam. I wish a scene would break out somewhere but those days seem to be gone forever.

Last time I checked the L.A. Scene it was all Maroon 5 and Red Hot Chilli Peppers haha
Rock n roll acts were very, very underground, or they were the original guys slogging it out in less than original line ups.
As for the Hispanic influx, it seems they are slowly but surely taking it back haha
The wife is from Oregon and it was the last place I expected to see signs with Spanish translations underneath the English ones, but there ya go!

It doesn't need to happen, as all the cool new glam bands are from Europe now  |

It doesn't need to happen, as all the cool new glam bands are from Europe now I get that. I like a lot of theme actually but is there a scene there? Yeah, there is a scene here at least (Norway). There are several bands and there are clubs where people are all dressed up and stuff like that, but of course in this day in age you don't have A&R people coming to gigs and throwing bundles of cash at any band from any scene. Those days kinda went with downloading. So the prospect of having music as a fulltime job, any kinda music, is not as realistic today as it was when the Hollywood scene was alive... or even the grunge scene in the 90's. Less recordcompany interesst and less money to start with for the bands that get record company interest, means that most of these bands will never make it really big..... But you don't care about that when you are at a show with one of these bands or listen to their CDs at home. At least they are doing it for the right reasons now and you don't have a shitty ballad for a secondsingle anymore. |
