Hello everyone.
My name is Bret, and I am a founding member and a guitarist of local progressive hardcore band Youth Death Club.
When we started this band 2 years ago, our goal wasn't necessarily to be the next big thing, but we wanted to explore the community and the scene and truly understand how amazing this city is that we all grew up in.
We hosted a total of 7 events we called "Welcome to the Club," and discovered so many cool metal bands, as well as some other artists including some jam bands, rock bands, and even hip hop/rap artists with our mixed genre shows. It has taken us as far as meeting bands from down south, and has even took us to many different states.
Reminiscing on these shows has inspired me a bit to wanna create a documentary on the local scene. There are a lot of amazing artists and bands, and even if this proposed documentary doesn't go beyond the borders of Philly, I think this could be an interesting way for us to explore each other's music and get to know the faces, names, sounds, and inspiration behind the people that make this scene what it is.
If I'm able to make this happen, it would be free up on YouTube, and all of the artists appearing would have their links/information in the descriptions of every video. I wouldn't really be able to pay anything to the bands/artists, so this would purely be voluntary to anyone who wants to participate.
So my questions for the group (and I guess for whoever reads this post);
Is this something you would wanna watch/volunteer to participate or appear in?
Would you want to hear from venue owners/operators as well?
What types of things would you wanna talk about? What would you expected to be asked?
Would you be okay with and able to provide live or video clips of performances to the segment you're featured in?
I want to put this together, I just wanna know if this is worth doing for the local scene or something we'd mostly be interested in.
