When I started the website and started adding bands on Myspace and making connections to help everyone out, one of the points I always tried to make is that Scene SC is here to stay. We aren’t going anywhere. It always seems like someone will start up some online zine or radio thing and it fizzles after a couple of months. One difference might be that they probably thought they were going to make money doing it. I knew I wasn’t going to make any money doing this and although it would be awesome if I could do that, I really don’t see it happening.
So as this year is starting to wind down and we have our Kick Off Party tonight, I’ll tell you where Scene SC is trying to go.
- The Compilation CD of SC’s Best Bands will be released In January.
- Next Year bands will have the option of having their live shows Professionally Video Taped and recorded off the soundboard for a small Fee. We’ll still do the video like we do now for free.
- The Podcast is coming at some point soon.
- We will have Scene SC TV where we will have live acoustic performances of National and Local bands. All who pass through Columbia.
- At some point the site will be redesigned by a professional to be more functional.
- We are in talks of starting a Network of “Blogs” covering Fashion, Contemporary Art and as much as we want to stay away from it, maybe even a neutral Political Blog to compete with the big boys. A network the way that Geekologie and The Superficial are linked. I’ll stick with the Music.
- We come up with new Ideas every day and are wide open to suggestions.
Basically this website is for you. Whether you are a fan or in a band. Support your local music scene and do your part in it if you care about it. Come to the Kick Off party tonight and show your appreciation. Even if the music isn’t your cup of tea, tonight is about the music community. It’s not Athens or Atlanta or Nashville, but we have to make the best of what we have.
