I just moved from Victoria to Nanaimo and I was wondering if there is any kind of music scene in this city (specifically metal)? I am going to Malaspina and I haven't exactly seen many metalheads or musician looking types around here. However one thing I heard about Nanaimo is that there isn't even any jam spaces around here that you can rent or a music site. Is there anything :(? - Fri, 31 Aug 2007 7:16pm

Easier to jam at a drummers place. Too bad, you just missed the metal fest w/ Infernal Majesty here. - Sat, 1 Sep 2007 12:50pm

ouch good fucking burn!

However ever I have to admitt that even though I don't share many values with cordel (dose he have morals?) he has not shut down any venues in a while, he is come a long ways from what I have heard, and so have his shows... - Wed, 5 Sep 2007 11:05pm

sometimes people with really good tastes in music look like really normal people. I also find that sometimes people try to overcompensate for their lack of musical knowledge by adopting an exaggerated "look". just sayin'.

I know nanaimo had somewhat of a punk scene a few years ago. the bands I was interested in from there have disbanded. - Thu, 6 Sep 2007 1:25am

Btw, I haven't gotten back to you, but would you still like to jam, or maybe just hang out and drink some beer? - Tue, 11 Sep 2007 12:15am

I would love to set up a show, but I doubt that there would even be a turn out. I've seen maybe four people who look devoted here. - Tue, 11 Sep 2007 6:32pm

you don't need "devoted" kids if you want to put on _a_ show, the flaky one timers do just fine for that. - Wed, 12 Sep 2007 4:17pm
