<p>What's the music scene like at Illinois? Lots of musicians / local bands on campus? I play bass and have played in 3 somewhat-serious bands back home in MD. I like punk, pop-punk, hardcore and ska.... what kinda music scene exists on/around campus? Any cool music stores/venues around?</p>

<p>I vaugely remember reading that Champaign-Urbana has the best music scene in the state outside of Chicago.</p>

<p>Here’s a list of all the venues in town, it’s a LOT: <a href=“http://www.40north.org/who/venues.html[/url]”>http://www.40north.org/who/venues.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
