Haha. Actually, most electronic bands totally skip Florida... or just fly
into Miami and then fly back out. It's just a fluke really. Or maybe it's
because they're on Thrill Jockey?
We're >trying< to get some sort of electronic music scene organized down
here for Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, and Tampa:

The venues in my town are our biggest problem. They focus mainly on
indie/alternarock and punk bands, totally ignoring what else is out there.
The challenge is to find places for our guys to play. Not to mention the
promoters/venues don't even think about booking non-rock bands when they put
together shows.
I'd like to see more 8-Bit, Synthpop, Electroclash, Nu-Electro and
Industrial acts take a chance on us...
