UVic?

[nevin]

Anyone here go to UVic or know anyone who does?

I might be going to UVic next year and I have a few questions about the sort of 'lifestyle/music scene' in the area. I'm from Toronto, so I'm not expecting there to be too much going on, but I was just wondering what the scene is like there, or if there even is one? I have been looking around online and all I can really find in the area are punk bands and Nickelback-esque bands. That's a little scarey. Any info would be good though, I can live without shows, I would just like to ask a few questions from a local. So ya, it's a hard decision, so just looking for some info since I don't know anyone out there and I would be venturing into the unknown.

P.S. Victoria is freakin beautiful, I was there the last few nights.

It sounds like you figure since there's tons of bars and clubs full of shitty bands that don't actually stand for anything, and there isn't much of that that goes very far here, that there won't be a music scene? Well, Vancouver's got some beautiful stuff going on right now. There's some decent bands from Victoria, though. The music scene is about punk, though.

That's not what I meant....
I was wondering what the music scene was like out there since I know nothing of the west coast scene. I've talked to some people and they've given me some great suggestions.
Thanks for your help though.
