If you are in a band and think you are cool enough to participate in our madness, then... sorry. The deadline for applications was August 7th! Better luck next year.

As you can tell by our URL, Music Waste is sponsored by the wonderful and stylish DropD magazine. We urge you to check them out, and support your local music scene. Also, our other sponsors are a worthy bunch indeed, and didn't even have to pay us to say that.

For a historical perspective, visit the articles page and browse through the media coverage of Music Wastes gone by, without getting dust on your fingers!

There are 12 venerable venues associated with Music Waste this year, so check them out and remember, tip those waitresses! For a complete and current listing of which bands are playing where (and sometimes, why) check out The Grid, or else the alphabetical Band Listings for descriptions of each band. If you want to know what they look like before you see them (never mistake a band for a waitress or visa versa) they may be in the Photo Gallery.
