Local Music Is a Dead Scene is proud to bring you another in our series of conversations with artists about their experiences making and playing music in their local music scenes

Scott hails from Cameron and Euan's home scene of Fife (including the towns of Dunfermline & Kirkcaldy) and is part of the 90's punk inspired Cheap Escape, as well as rising stars Shambolics

Scott joined MIADS for a conversation at the end of last year about how Fife sets itself apart from the larger cities of Scotland and why smaller scenes are worth paying attention to.

Our thanks to Scott for giving us his time for this special, we hope you enjoy this deep dive into the burgeoning scene of Fife...

Music Is a Dead Scene is doing a series of episodes about being in a band and building it from day one, I don't know if we've mentioned it before?

Anyway, it's called LOCAL Music Is a Dead Scene, and on this episode we tell some bad gig stories and construct the perfect setlist so that you (yes, you!) can figure out how to play your first gig...

Local Music Is a Dead Scene presents its first in a series of specials covering artists (from around the globe!) and their experiences making and playing music in their local music scenes

Chicago's own Lukas of the bands Griefeater and bosses spoke to us at the end of last year about being a shoegaze artist in the city and the DIY culture that informs how they make their music.

Our thanks to Lukas for giving us his time for this special, we hope you enjoy this deep dive into his world and Chicago's thriving scenes...

Every band needs to do it, every band inevitably procrastinates for half the time.

Cameron and Euan discuss some their band practice hijinks and mishaps from over the years (and some more useful insights as well) before getting to the really important question - why the hell do we have two spellings of the word practice/practise in the U.K.?!

Welcome to the brand new batch of Music is a Dead Scene - we’ve even got a name for it this time…

LOCAL Music is a Dead Scene!

Each episode will focus on a different part of the journey of starting a new band, and how to be a part of your local music scene

This episode begins with the question every musician asks themselves at the very beginning: What Do I Want from a Band?

Another year, another Spotify Wrapped, another MIADS Awards.

Whilst wrapped has everyone a bit disappointed, Cameron and Euan delve into their own listening habits and decide to take things into our own hands...

And then they chat all of their favourite STUFF of the year and award some totally meaningless and very specific MIADS Awards

Thanks for all your support this year, we hope you enjoy the festive period and will see you all again in the new year!
