According to Esquire Magazine Pittsburgh has the best music scene in the country. Most people that actually go to concerts in Pittsburgh will tell you that this isn't the case. In the past year a lot of the smaller venues have closed down and thus local bands are forced to play in bars or dance clubs instead of the traditional rock clubs. This being said there a few really good bands in Pittsburgh, The Clarks who were on Letterman a few weeks ago are a staple band in Pittsburgh but anywhere else no one has any idea who they are. In addition, the bands Shade and the Pleasure Technicians, while not being that big do some extensive touring around the Northeast but they usually draw larger crowds in other towns besides the one they call home.
