The Bakersfield music scene is alive and well - By N.L. Belardes
Oh yes, the Bakersfield music scene is alive and well thanks to area bloggers out on the scene documenting the happenings and music news in 2006. JR documents last night’s debut of Stitch with a few photos on his site. I was hoping to make the debut, but because of prior commitment to see King Mark and St. Patrick at the Rabobank with Caleb Kelly, and Monty Byrom at Fishlips, I just wasn’t going to be able to make the 10PM debut at Vinny’s Bar. JR also documents New California Rock and their performance at Vinny's in a post that just went online moments ago. Vinny's is quickly becoming a popular hang-out by us music scene writers...
Mike Generic, punk boy supreme and scene writer of the very happening Bakersfield music scene has been tearing it up with his write-ups. He wrote a great piece about his adventures to see Conspiracy Theory and My October over at Le Corruse Rouge lounge with Hammer from KRAB radio. It’s a great piece about what it’s like to be a college student/writer/musician in the Bakersfield music scene. My October even writes a nice little piece thanking Mike… In other recent posts, Mike writes about punk guru Heath Dobbler making some punk tunes and reflects on a Pennywise show that left his punkboy head ringing…
Lone female music scene, writer, Matildakay wrote a fun piece about Norfolk and my hoarding of their CD that’s a revealing read.... I took the photo for her new site layout. Do you like it?
I have been out in the music scene in the past week and have yet to do write-ups, share pictures and edit podcasts related to Mento Buru at Vinny’s, Order 66 and Lostocean at the Boiler Room, Jessie Deluxe at Riley’s Tavern, the Empty Space Broken Heart Show, King Mark with Caleb Kelly and St. Patrick at the Rabobank Arena, and Monty Byrom at Fishlips… Am I forgetting anyone?
On a side note, let us all pray that steely-eyed Heath Dobbler gets through today without a nervous breakdown.

The Scene is alive! Another Year and Rewind Yesterday are gonna be rising up!
I love the pics you took of Matildakay! But, the egocentric person that I am... I maintain the best pics yet snapped by N.L.
