Good luck. When I lived in Boston from 1998-2001, there was very little in
terms of IDM, Techno, or even clubby dancehall crap. The scene was dominated
by punk. Every now and then an act would come into town and play at the
Paradise or Middle East -- I recall catching the Orb a couple times as well
as a really amazing Ozzric Tentacle show once. Negativland once made an
appearance at a theater hall -- I wish I could remember where exactly, but
it was in Cambridge. I think I remember a dance/techno night at Phoenix
Landing in Cambridge, but am not sure if it held up forever.
I repeat, the scene was dominated by punk. I eventually grew to hate it.
If you do ever get a chance to see Specimen 37, do it. They are from Boston
and gig pretty regularly. They're probably one of the more interesting acts
to come out of there in years.
