Werd. Thats what I've found out. The closer you get to the city though, it totally changes. Everyone's been super cool downtown and at the U District. It's also awkward to be this 6'3 goofy Boston hardcore kid walking around in a stupor, not knowing where I'm going. Its not like you can walk up to a bunch of people and say "Yo dudes, can I be yer friend?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Inearthed Posted April 8, 2006 Members Share Posted April 8, 2006 Bellingham is about 2 - 2.5 hours north of you and it pretty much is just a party town, there really isn't much else to do other than get drunk and go to parties. There are some bands from up there but most of the venues are terrible.Everett is worthless, don't even waste your time there unless you're interested in Hockey, some of the events happening at the Everett Events Center, or drug labs. I used to live just outside Everett and it really is an armpit. It has truly earned its nickname of "Little Tacoma"Pioneer Square and Capitol Hill (both in Seattle) are great places to check out on Fridays / Saturdays if you're into live music or for bar / club hopping. Originally posted by Josh Savoy I heard Dick's was a cool place to grab burgers. On the east coast I'm used to run-down burger joints... out here, especially closer to the city, everythings so much more classier. I dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Dicks is {censored}ing terrible, same level as McDonalds. People just say its great because the place has been around for a while and its a trendy place to go.Originally posted by Josh Savoy How extreme? I'm definately down with some good metal.There are a bunch of quality local death metal / black metal bands. 75% of the rest of the "metal" bands are just wanna-be Pantera / Disturbed / whatever was mainstream in 2000-2002 / bands with a DJ / sample guy. As far as other music scenes, don't really know. I was told there was a good hardcore / punk scene out here but I don't know if that's true.Originally posted by Josh Savoy Werd. Thats what I've found out. The closer you get to the city though, it totally changes. Everyone's been super cool downtown and at the U District.Bellevue, Kirkland, the Island Cities, Mill Creek, Redmond, as well as pretty much every upper class neighborhood will be filled with people that basically believe they're better than everyone else. Bellevue and Kirkland are the worst, lots of rich families (or people that want to think they're rich) that are stuck up. If you go to shows, just strike up a conversation with people, most people will talk to you and you'll make fast friends. I went from literally knowing 4 or 5 people to knowing around 40 through the music scene.Originally posted by Josh Savoy Cool man. Thanks. What else is there for music around here? I dig everything... blues, hardcore, metal, classical... anything. Pick up a copy of the Seattle Weekly or The Stranger (both free papers at pretty much any bar / club / place in Seattle) and thumb through it. They usually have a sizable listing of shows in there.Seattle Symphony is always putting on good stuff. They perform out of Benaroya Hall, but it can get a bit expensive going a lot... http://www.seattlesymphony.org/benaroya/Not sure about the Blues scene. There are a couple of nice upperscale jazz clubs downtown, but I can't remember the names of them off the top of my head.Hardcore scene is more underground, as I understand it.Punk stuff... Not really sure where to get it... This site http://www.seattlepunk.net/ used to have some stuff.I can go on and on about metal acts from around here, if you want.

Members Josh Savoy Posted April 8, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2006 Originally posted by Inearthed Yeah, if you don't mind... I figured the west coast would be home to metalcore. I guess the one hitch is I'm 20. I'll be 21 in September, so anything I can't get to now, I'll get to later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks that you have to wait untill your 21, its the one thing, other than no money, stopping me visiting the states.

I don't know of any metalcore acts that are out playing from this area. There are some high school bands playing metalcore but that's pretty much it. That's weird though that you figured that... I was under the impression that the home of metalcore was Mass / Boston with a colony down in California. I'll work on a list of bands and post it tomorrow or later tonight.

One last question... do you know how I can find a band, or people to jam with? Off the top of my head, I can't think of any metalcore bands, but the ones I do think of came from the west coast. Most of the indie/emo stuff comes from the east coast. New York and New Jersey churn that stuff out by the bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most music stores have 'em as well. The Stranger / Seattle Weekly have sections for musicians. Otherwise, meeting people at shows is pretty much how I ended up being in every band I've played in. What sort of band are you looking to join / start / play in? I can ask around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLeeneX Posted April 8, 2006 Members Share Posted April 8, 2006 Originally posted by Josh Savoy Thats not even on my map. It's a small town right on the interstate (I90). Near there is a really, really small town called Roslin. The TV show Northern Exposure was filmed there. Roslin has a bar called The Brick that usually has a pretty good band playing on the weekends. The Spotted Owl BBQ is also a fun event to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ask around. I'm looking to play anything. I've been doing classical for two years, and thats a totally solo gig and I hate it. I'm really looking for a good blues gig, but to be honest, I'll play anything. Except death metal... I can dig on it, but I just can't play it. Covers, or originals.
