The British Invasion. Laurel Canyon. The Sunset Strip. Seattle Grunge.
Scenes come and go. They are a hurricane of energy…incredibly powerful and then their own energy fizzles them out.
But a music scene is a wonderful timestamp of artists connecting with the culture around them in a way that spins up a magnetic energy.
There’s no guide on how to build a scene but I have watched a lot of music documentaries…and at the core of all big music scenes were four or five (and then nine or ten) bands and artists who supported each other, played shows together, wrote songs together, lived together, hung out a lot, shared music, tried to beat each others songs and generally enjoyed one another.
Even if you don’t end up birthing the next big scene, it sounds like a pretty good way to go about your career.
