Green Bay, Wi, USA - The scene here seems somewhat strong, though I think the fact that I am part of it somewhat distorts my view of things. There are a good deal of metal bands if you look for them, and even more extreme stuff can be found. People seem to react to my band with a lot of energy, which is encouraging. On the other side of things, however, you have popular culture and all of the shit that comes with it. As is typical, you will find more cover bands and mainstream bands around, but that is not to say that the scene is not strong here. We try to do a lot of networking via the internet to get people to support local bands. The bars seem to be supportive and it is not difficult to find a metal show on a Friday or Saturday night. We are close to Milwaukee. There used to be a large Metalfest held there annually. Considering all of this, I do have a positive view of the scene in this area. I think that the internet will continue to allow groups to pave paths and open areas and communities that is difficult to do networking on the streets. I am excited to see what the future brings.
