This question kinda asks, near your area, what kind of bands go and play live near you, are they good bands/bad bands/well-known/etc.? I'll start first.

I live in the Northwest part of Iowa, so I get to see almost no shows live at all. There are a few areas for me to go to, like Omaha Nebraska, Des Moines Iowa, and even Kansas City, but thats stretching it out quite a bit. Anywho, some of the bands that come up are like some from the Honda Civic tour, like Phantom Planet, Motion City Soundtrack, Panic! at the Disco, etc etc. Just a few months ago we had 3 Days Grace/Breaking Benjamin in my hometown which turned out to be an awesome concert. Also, Snoop Dogg, 311, and POD came up to Omaha during the summer to play, which I heard was another good show. But yeah the main thing for me is that there are usually good live shows available, the whole problem is I have to travel hours at a time to find a good show.

How about you guys?
