Just from looking through gig listings, reviews, and the like, there doesn't seem to be much going on compared to, I don't know, three or four years ago. In terms of new bands coming through, festivals being good, exciting gigs happening anyway. I mean, I'm sure there are some, and these things always have their own ebb and flow, but 'the scene', such as it is, seems a bit flat nowadays.

What ARE the kids up to these days?

*NB This isn't an opportunity for marckee et al to tell us how many crap gigs they've been to this week.
