sonic groove closing all those years ago was certainly a sign.

but so yeah, to briefly answer your question: i think there are still a fair amount of people into the techno here, they just got nowhere to go and hear it. same old problem, just even more so these days.

on the upside, we had ben sims here last month and it was respectively full on a night when both marco carola and josh wink were playing, so at least there's that. here's hoping things will pick up again.

Yeah the P-town is kind of similar...but less true techno heads anymore I suppose. We're lucky to pull 40-100 heads at a techno weekly...Granted the only venue which really has techno on the regular is a small spot.

All in all there isn't much exposure to the people out here. Other than in the Illegal Party scene and soon in some nicer clubs again. So hopefully it will pick up here again as well. For about 5 years I was the lone Techno Soldier in this place...haha

Things go in waves here though I suppose...Just like everwhere. Rocked this Desert Jam with about 900 heads total. But there's always multiple stages and different Genres for those type of jams. They had Frankie Bones and Adam X on right after me. Little bit of your east coast here on the west coast...

What can be done in your opinion for those of us in America who do love techno? What do you think needs to be done to get more of these sheeple here to understand??? Any ideas?
