What’s Your Scene?

Any scene with Al Swearangen & Mr. Wu from the show Deadwood ;)
Mathas
If you’re a Max Chillington then you’re our scene.
Gunslingers
Bed. Pringles. Whisky. Attenborough doco. Wham.
Marlon Williams
Country roots, old time, bluegrass, folk, Americana scene Traditional plus :)
Whitetop Mountaineers
Anyone who welcomes a hairy, gold wearing, hot air blowing idiot to a dinner table is my scene.
Henry Wagons
All the wandering. The bastards and the angels. The sound of the rain and the pains of the heart. The silence. All the houses and all the rooms. All the keys and phones.
Raised By Eagles
Melbourne. Nowhere else is as great as Melbourne.
Brat Farrar
The Astor Theatre on chapel st. Old cinema with copious amounts of atmosphere playing classic films (Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Kubrick, etc) and me with a honeycomb choc top spilt on my Tshirt because that’s just how I roll.
Jude Perl, Comedian
Alice likes the Google. Sime likes taxidermy. It’s a pretty happening scene.
Sweet Jean
I like the beach more than anything. The beach feels like home all year round. In terms of a scene…I actually prefer to hermit most of the time.
Abbe May
It’s Thonbury. It’s my dreaming. I’ve lived here 30 years and it’s evolved with me. The more I drink wine, the more wine bars appear in the neighbourhood. The more I eat, the more cafes appear in the neighbourhood. Fantastic.
Denise Scott, Comedian
Quirky cabaret bars that serve a mean G&T and boast a stellar cocktail list..which is why you’ll always find me returning to The Butterfly Club! I also love the buzz of a Fringe or Cabaret Festival, or a smart Opening Night. Any excuse for a dress up, really!
Amelia Ryan, Lady Liberty
What’s my scene? well…
And another thing I’ve been wondering lately
Oh, baby,
Tell me where have you been?
Now the stage is set
Where’s my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe
My Midsummer Night’s Dream?
What’s my scene?

Clowns
Hot, hot lovers
Luke Monks, Gay Paris
My bedroom
Nantes
That’s a hard one, although I do love anything electronic with an indie-pop feel!
Franki
My scene is driving fast cars and shooting guns.
Ace Frehley
Leadfinger is a very strange band, hard to define, but we are free.
Stew, Leadfinger
Local bands at sticky carpet venues. Vinyl. Social networking. Keeping healthy in order to play full throttle live sets. Loud rehearsals. Good people with creative ideas. PRIMITIVE ROCK.
Jon S Williams of City of Cool
Tunes, mates, and honesty. No dickhead policy!
Buddha In A Chocolate Box
My scene is a Punk-hardcore scene or an underground, minimal electronic scene, something grungy – where everyone is wearing black. That’s my vibe; don’t go out until 11 when all the other vampires come out and go home when the sun comes up at 7. Oh shit. Creatures of the night.
Greg Puciato, Killer Be Killed & Dillinger Escape Plan
Ep. 1 Series 3 of BBC’s ’Sherlock’ where Sherlock bungee jumps through a window and kisses Molly Hooper.
Miss Adelaide Everheart from Early Burley Burlesque
I will continue the continuum, singing my Songline.
Kutcha Edwards
Staying home out of harms way.
Peter Milley, Cairo Club Orchestra
The dog park’s pretty good. I have a couple of miniature pinchers. And they’re the loves of my life. I take them for walks to the dog park; I’ve got a Harley Davidson I ride around. It’s not too exciting. It used to be sex, drugs and rock n roll; now I walk my dogs.
Stan Lee, The Dickies
All the kids who weren’t cool at school and still aren’t. Those people who didn’t manage to become awesome artists and uber hip performers. The raggy dolls who never found a way to make their raggy doll-ness work for them.
Jonathon Duffy
I am a simple man. My scene is simple. I like playing metal and spending time with my family.
Waclaw ”Vogg” Kieltyka, Decapitated
Act III, Scene VI of King Lear. A tense and gripping scene wherein the ageing king informs his three daughters that they have all been accepted as contestants on Family Feud.
Ben Pobjie, comedian
Beer, riffs, good people, good food and new adventures, anywhere those things exist, that’s my scene!
Andy, Don Fernando
Our gigs have an air of danger and sex. Beautiful women are free to express themselves and are as dangerous as hell. Everybody can have a good time ’cos there’s a lot of love in the room and we just can’t help but stomp out that primeval swamp boogie ooze.
Chris Russell’s Chicken Walk
My family, my friends, my home.
Cory Putman, Norma Jean
All of the above and more in my shed every Friday night
Hound
Book clubs, philosophy and extreme black metal
Elsen Price
My scene is Brunswick. I love it. It provides me with just about everything I need.
About Charlie Marshall
Flanelette pyjama pants.
Timberwolf
Well I’m still looking for my scene, and I think I might have found it. Between the pages of What’s My Scene Magazine.
Dave Faulkner, Hoodoo Gurus
Our scene is in the city of Bath, a small city with a very big musical identity, we play the British festivals and I am also in the ’choirs scene’. We are also in other bands for fun, music all the way, roll on summer!
Su Hart, Baka Beyond
Our scene is this big gorgeous wide world we live in all its majestic splendour!
Kim Salmon, The Darling Downs
Anywhere there is good company, great conversation, and a glass of red.
Helen Perris
It’s beards.
Nathaniel Beard, The Beards
The car wash scene from Cool Hand Luke will do just fine thank you.
Old Gray Mule
Obviously to create music. My family. I love driving my Ferraris.
Yngwie Malmsteen
The TV show “Full House
World Wild
Deep 70s disco, wonky synths, shady lyrics, fairy lights and cheap wine.

Tegan Voltaire, The Voltaire Twins
Well these days my scene tends to revolve around my computer and being nudged by my dog to take her out for a walk. And then having my wife shout at me for spending time on my computer. I’m loving it actually. I’m quite relishing that scene. I miss them both very much.
Peter Hook, Joy Division/New Order/The Light
Sitting in the sun, in a nice chair, with a good book.
James Reyne
Right now it’s a room with no lights on. An unmade bed. A laptop with 9% battery and a mosquito that just refuses to die.
Dave Larkin, Dallas Crane
Yass KFC
Simon, Loon Lake
“Malcolm Hill is a lifetime member of the Melbourne Music Mafia and part of the ratpack of post punk Melbourne artists who have been keepin’ it real across diverse art forms for thirty years.”
Malcolm Hill
Aside from music and everything creative, I love open-mind people, unexpected humour, seeing the world and nature, riding my bicycle, playing billiards. I’m also a fan of coffee, whiskey and most things vintage.
Jessica Stuart Few
My scene is at the moment Big Wongs General Tsos Chicken as I get sauce on the keys typing to you :-)
Brian Mackey
I think my style is more just making cameos in everyone else’s scene.
Mojo Juju
Currently, I’m completely enveloped by writing my book; trying to complete the manuscript for my tome.
Jeff Duff
It’s a delirium, really, but I like to live like this.
Hugo Race
I like to be out in the nature, to get away. Go to the woods. My dad lives in the woods. Maybe once or twice a year I don’t have phone reception there is no Wi-Fi
Fredrik Åkesson, Opeth
Art is my scene. No labels, restrictions or judgement. I love art in all it’s varied glory.
The Last 5 Queers
Comedy, surreal show girls, burlesque and theatre
MC KREWD
When I’m not working in the studio or doing shows I’m at home with my partner and our baby so I guess they are my scene.
Way of the Eagle
My scene is finding any excuse to dance with my 2 year old daughter Ruby.
Matthew Hardy, Comedian
Going to the river on sunny afternoons with the blow up dingys and resting your beers on lily pads.
The Frowning Clouds
Currently its the Yarra River Trail I’m walking along. Generally my scene would be Melbourne. Nothing feels or compares to home.
Simon McConnell, The Delta Riggs
Cool small bars with good food, good wine, good company
The Backsliders
Hiking a 14K foot mountain in Colorado
Cole Washburn
I like to think that I belong to the head-strong Independent Music Scene – where we – musos and audience and everyone in between – all make gigs/tours, recordings, releases happen for ourselves and work our arses off to keep it going for the rest of our lives – all for the love of Music!
Florelie Escano
I’m in with the Out-Crowd
Dave Warner
No set scene. We have played with a variety of bands from King Parrot to The Datsuns. Offer us a show and give us a try!
Los Hombres Del Diablo
I don’t wish to belong to any scene that would have me as a member (with thanks to Groucho Marx).
Bob Spencer, Raw Brit
World/folk. Acoustic and proud of it!
Ilana Cravitz, The London Klezmer Quartet
Fuck the Fucking Scene question! xo
Fuck The Fitzroy Doom Scene
Rock’n’Roll
About Heels on Decks
Cool venues with good beer on tap that don’t mind us getting loud and getting room grooving so hard you feel the floor shaking.
Papa G and The Starcats

The beach. Tea with gin at your grandparents house. They have the best stories.
Betty & Oswald
Scones, savory, sweet I don’t mind
The Wooden Sky
Experimental electronica, musical metacreation, multiplicitous media, hacking.
Ollie Brown
I love being on a little boat near home in South West Victoria with a fishing line in the water, the Sun coming up or going down. I also love walking the streets of Melbourne or Manhattan or many of the beautiful towns and villages of Ireland or anywhere. My partner and my family are central to it all. I also love being in the midst of a great music session, anywhere, anytime, being transported into the soul of the Universe.
Shane Howard
I have no idea what my scene is; I have been listening to Dubstep and a bit of Drum N Bass. I found a lot of Hip Hop and RnB stuff is getting very interesting again it is pushing different sounds out. I’ve been really into cycling since the early ‘90s; racing mountain bikes and racing road bikes. So between cycling and music there is not much time left, a bit of sleep now and again.
Mike Edwards, Jesus Jones
Our scene is folk that are interested in change. Not just music, but breaking the norm, the boundaries and stereotype of Australian ’rock/pop’ music. Unpredictable, the question marks, the new jokers in town. Don’t Believe The Haze.
Slumberhaze
Wherever there is music is where I feel most at home
Toby Robinson
We can be dirty, we can be imperfect, we can be classy, it doesn’t matter. We drift between scenes and eventually may just create our own.
The Ugly Kings
I just do my best to live a life full of the things I love. Rock’n’roll, photography, New York City – they are three things right there that I love a lot!
Paul Miles
