*...good luck finding *anything* in fairbanks, pal. :( the only city with
an active scene at all is Anchorage, a hefty 352 miles south of
Squarebanks. Check out Bytet, Suture, and other electronic bands that
stem from there...also, anchorage is the cultural mecca of alaska, as sad
as it may seem...

...not to rain on your parade, but good luck finding any local *musical*
or *cultural* items of interest up in fairbanks...(i lived there from '75 to
'88, the last time i was up there was in 1991)...couldn't take any more of
that cultural void and a general neo-conservative, homophobic attitude of
fairbanks...not to mention those -40 degree days...

m.c.d., who now finds Oregon somewhat repressive and boring...

p.s. as for the fairbanks concert scene, the whole city went apeshit when
Styx played there in the summer of 1991, and Vanilla Ice cancelled his
fairbanks appearance at the very last minute...

Well, afraid I don't know anything about Fairbanks, it's been years since
I've made it up there. Admittedly, haven't been in any hurry...<grin>

Down here in Anchorage, about the best place to find anything is at
Mammoth Music. They've got two locations for new cd's/tapes, one musical
instrument store, and one used-cd store. Always have a good selection, and
can generally get ton's of imports and rare stuff that can be hard to get
anywhere else. Apparently companies think Alaska's so out of it, they all
send their stuff to us, so we get more than other places can. <grin> Not a
bad setup.... I don't know quite how this site is doing, it was seriously
under construction last time I checked, but they're working on putting up
a WWW site...try:

http://mammoth.alaska.net/

...and see what you get.
