Miami and new York punk/hardcore scene

Djblurr · 03-08-2010, 05:16 PM

Hi,

I'm from Australia and currently on holiday in the USA. I'm desperately looking for advice on where I can find some good local shows in both cities. I was recently in LA for 3 days where I thought it would be easy to find something, but I was unable to find anything apart from some grind show which I'm not into.

I'll be specifically in Miami 12th-17th march and 18th-21st new York - I kind of assumed there would be local shows any day of the week though?

Thanks for your help!

Well whatever you do stay away from the bands that play that awful machismo tough guy hardcore, appropriately named NYHC.

Otherwise known as the only true hardcore that has ever been or ever will be.

To clarify: I'm not being an elitist. I don't like NYHC enough to even consider being a genre snob about it, and although I do like it purely for nostalgic purposes, there's none in my collection. It's just that that's what hardcore is: 90's crossover of metal and punk created and perfected in NYC , and well I'll give Boston the credit they deserve as well. everything else is just, well...very poorly named.

I listen to some nyhc like madball, but instead of all arguing can someone just try and help me out with my question? My time is running out!

Thanks

I'm sure there are plenty of whats on guides online you could look up.

I'm sure they'll be much more help than hoping that someone on a small music forum comes from there AND listens to the exact same small genre of music.

There's a spot here in Miami by the name of Churchill's Pub that has frequent punk shows.
