You just cant get rid of me can you :) here is another first hand, up close and personal interview, this time with The Rare Breed.

1. What is the music scene in dumbarton like? is it healty?

The music scene in Dumbarton is quite healthy, but limited by lack of support and promotion. There's not much diversity in bands and if there is then its unheard of due to the previous points stressed.

2. Do you feel there should be more gigs for young people

Yes we feel there should be more opportunities for young people to experience live music in and around Dumbarton.


3. Do you think there should be more facilitys for live music for young people?

Yes, since the loss of The Studio ( Deadbeats) we feel there is not much legitimate venues for live music on a larger scale for younger people (younger people being 14-17 years).

4. Is there any specific genre of music that is followed in dumbarton.

Pop/Rock has probably the strongest following in Dumbarton but Heavy Metal has a dedicated following aswell.

5. What would you like to see change in dumbarton?

More chances for gigs to be played and seen in the Dumbarton area, more diversity at gigs and more promotion for bands/gigs such as fanzines, websites etc.

6. Is there a future for dumbartons local music?

There could be a great future for music in Dumbarton, theres some great talent here and the past has proved that (Mendeed).

7. What are your main influences as a band?

Our main influences as a band are lamb Of God, Cancer Bats, Pantera and Whitechapel.

8. Do you feel you have to travel away from dumbarton to experiance more music?

We feel that the majority of gigs take plave in Glasgow and is inconvenient for younger people.

9. is there a strong demand for music in dumbarton?

We believe there is a strong demand in Dumbarton for more music.

10. What are the main sources for yourselves and young people to actually access music in terms of newspapers, online blogs, radio............fanzines?! lol XD..

Facebook and Myspace seem to be the only available way to access local music, more popular music can be accessed through magazines, other websites and off course music channels.
