Start a band in Brooklyn, everybody’s doin it.

Seems like there’s a documentary about the Brooklyn music scene called “Rockin’ Brooklyn”. Now although I’ll have to say there is no scene here but rather many bands are in one place because they have moved from Manhattan or other cities. Hell, it seems like the entire Chicago scene got up and moved here a few years ago. I’m usually against any establishment naming genres or documenting stuff that is still growing, but it’s good to have a record of this stuff. I’m currently reading “Please Kill Me” which is a history of the Punk movement and it’s great to have documentation for future generations to reference. The bands in the video are a good selection but it just saddens me when I the clip of Sea Ray which unfortunately broke up last year.
