Re: Can OKC become the "next great music town?"
I think the best Oklahoma City style music - music that OKC can really claim as something pretty unique - Is the peculiar psych/trippy rock that comes from our area. Think Flaming Lips, Stardeath and the White Dwarves (recently signed by Warner Bros), Starlight Mints (Norman), and Colourmusic (Stillwater).
I see a growing local music scene here, where many of these unique bands are quite popular and have growing national/international fanbases. Now that we've started embracing that on a more mainstream level with all the recent attention for the Lips, that could develop even further.
