<p>Does Cornell have an underground music/indie music scene? What is the live music like at Cornell/Ithaca?</p>
<p>Well The National has a free concert today at the Arts quad which is pretty sweet. Some bands that have come in the past few years are: </p>
<p>The Arcade Fire
The Rapture
The Decemberists
Xiu Xiu
We Are Scientists
The Mountain Goats
Art Brut
Broken Social Scene
Of Montreal
Caribou
The Walkmen
Deerhoof
Interpol
The Dismemberment Plan
The Fiery Furnaces
Dungen
Girl Talk</p>
<p>Overall, I’d say the music scene is pretty good considering that Cornell is so isolated. The student’s taste sorta sucks though.</p>
<p>Thanks…what about in the downtown area? Are there live shows there at all?</p>
