Those of us in the middle of the country tend to assume (or have been led to believe) that music scenes are better in the Northeast. This article suggests that while things may be hot in NYC and Boston, there are other cities which are just starting to promote venues and bands.
courant.com, 2/11/07 - Pumping Up Indie Music: "Bands like The Hold Steady, Aberdeen City and Protokoll are playing Masonic lodges in Hamden, bars in Hartford and American Legion halls in Manchester, booked by music lovers who see no reason the Land of Steady Habits can't shake its somnolent attitude and build a vibrant indie-rock scene.
