In this episode of Scene Support, Mike from Lower Worlds Booking shares how booking shows went from a ninth-grade house show to a lifetime of keeping underground music alive. We talk about the early days of calling Elk’s Lodges and art spaces off a website directory, booking basements in Boston and warehouses in Oakland, and why he still does it decades later.Mike opens up about the realities of running shows today — balancing all-ages spaces and 21+ bars, managing backline and flyers, teaming up with friends to cover when he can’t be there, and learning when to finally say no. Along the way, we compare notes on mixed-bill shows, the return of ska and screamo, the role of flyering in a digital age, and the ways DIY culture thrives on collaboration, community, and mutual support.Whether you’re a promoter, a musician, or just a fan of DIY music, Mike’s story shows what it takes to keep a scene going — persistence, connection, and a love for the work that never really goes away.Lowerworld Booking https://www.instagram.com/lowerworldsbooking/DCxPC Livehttps://www.instagram.com/dcxpc_livehttps://www.facebook.com/dcxpcbookinghttps://dcxpclive.comIntro Song: "Cheap As You" By RunnamucksOutro Song: "Life Trap" By UnseemlierExecutive Producer: Trev Allen ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/struggling_artist_record_club/⁠

What happens when the person you were in the punk scene runs headfirst into the responsibilities of being a parent?On this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, Scott talks with Dan Bach, creator and host of Anarchy to Diapers, a podcast exploring the intersection of subculture, creativity, identity, and parenthood.Dan talks about growing up around metal, punk, hardcore, graffiti, and tattooing; becoming a father; stepping away from tattooing; and eventually creating Anarchy to Diapers as a way to reconnect with the parts of himself he felt he was losing. The conversation digs into what it means to stay connected to punk and underground culture as responsibilities change, why becoming a parent doesn’t mean leaving the scene behind, and how creativity and community can continue to evolve as we get older.Scott and Dan also get into documenting DIY music as it happens, Dan’s on-the-spot interviews at events like Punk Island and Camp Punksylvania, the value of keeping things raw instead of overproduced, balancing shows and creative projects with spouses and kids, raising children with different needs, burnout, self-care, and why supporting a scene can take a lot of different forms.At its core, this is a conversation about growing up without necessarily growing out of the communities that helped shape us — and finding ways to remain creative, connected, and present for the people around us.GUESTDan Bach — Anarchy to DiapersPodcast:Anarchy to Diapers PodcastInstagram:@anarchytodiapersApple Podcasts:Anarchy to Diapers on Apple PodcastsDCxPC LIVEWebsite:DCxPC LiveInstagram:@dcxpc_liveFacebook:DCxPC Live on FacebookBandcamp:DCxPC Live BandcampYouTube:DCxPC Live YouTubeScene Support podcast and transcripts:Scene SupportEXECUTIVE PRODUCERTrev Allen — Struggling Artist Record ClubWebsite:Struggling Artist Record ClubInstagram:@struggling_artist_record_clubThe Struggling Artist Podcast:The Struggling Artist PodcastINTRO AND OUTRO SONGJoshua “Danger” DobbsInstagram:@joshua_danger_dobbsABOUT SCENE SUPPORTDCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support spotlights the bookers, promoters, sound techs, zine writers, photographers, venue workers, label people, and community builders who keep DIY and underground music moving.Follow DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support on whatever platform you are listening on.

In this special Scene Support and SKAgazine crossover episode, punk comedian Rachel Summers—whom Scott affectionately calls The aSKAni Mother—takes over as interviewer for a conversation with Scott of DCxPC Live and Jess of SKAgazine and Be the Scene Promotions.Rachel guides Scott and Jess through a conversation about building DIY music communities in the Hudson Valley and Philadelphia. They share how their projects began, the people who helped shape them, and why supporting the scene means far more than simply booking shows or releasing records.The conversation covers mixed-genre bills, all-ages spaces, limited-edition live vinyl, benefit shows, paying bands, booking advice, and the work that happens behind the scenes to keep everything moving. Scott and Jess also discuss their plans for the future, from the Be the Scene Fest to Scott’s vision for an all-ages independent media space where shows could be recorded, filmed, and documented.Along the way, Rachel gets them talking about discovering punk and ska, memorable concerts, life on tour, organization versus chaos, and the relationships that make this work worthwhile.The episode closes with two reminders that sum up the conversation: DIY does not mean doing everything alone, and if you want to have a scene, you have to be the scene.INTERVIEWERRachel Summers — punk comedian and The aSKAni MotherSKAgazineWebsite:\https://skagazine.com/Instagram:\https://www.instagram.com/skagazine/Facebook:\https://www.facebook.com/p/The-SKAgazine-61552557301803/YouTube:\https://www.youtube.com/@SKAgazineSpotify:\https://open.spotify.com/show/1Nvct48ul9AmsI5C5LBPY2Be the Scene PromotionsInstagram:\https://www.instagram.com/bethescene_shows/DCxPC LiveWebsite:\https://dcxpclive.com/Instagram:\https://www.instagram.com/dcxpc_live/Facebook:\https://www.facebook.com/dcxpcbookingBandcamp:\https://dcxpclive.bandcamp.com/YouTube:\https://www.youtube.com/@DCxPC_LiveScene Support podcast and transcripts:\https://dcxpclive.com/scene-support-podcastEXECUTIVE PRODUCERTrev Allen — Struggling Artist Record ClubWebsite:\https://www.strugglingartistrecordclub.com/Instagram:\https://www.instagram.com/struggling_artist_record_club/The Struggling Artist Podcast:\https://www.thestrugglingartistpodcast.com/INTRO AND OUTRO SONGJoshua “Danger” DobbsInstagram:\https://www.instagram.com/joshua_danger_dobbs/

In this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, Scott talks with Chris Wynne, founder of In Effect Hardcore, about nearly four decades of documenting and supporting underground hardcore.Chris launched In Effect as a Queens fanzine in 1988, printing just 50 copies of its first issue. Over the next decade, it grew to 12 issues and a 10,000-copy final print run—all distributed DIY through shows, record stores, trades, mail orders, touring bands, and Chris’s own conversations with people he thought might connect with hardcore. In 2012, he revived In Effect as a website, where he and a rotating team of contributors continue covering bands, records, shows, and hardcore culture.Chris and Scott discuss learning to publish by simply doing it, interviewing bands outside CBGB Sunday matinees, distributing zines as far as Belgium and Japan, preserving underground music history, balancing scene work with family and everyday life, and the challenge of helping great bands cut through an endless stream of new music. They also talk about Chris’s work with Outsider Magazine, New Noise, and the weekly Bring the Noise radio show, along with all-ages spaces, the changing boundaries between punk, hardcore, and metal, bands that deserve more attention, and some memorable Two-Man Advantage stories.At its heart, this conversation is about what Scene Support celebrates: people doing the often-unseen work of building infrastructure, preserving history, and helping others discover something that might inspire them to create something of their own.Executive Producer: Trev Allen w/Struggling Artist Record ClubFollow and support:In Effect Hardcore: https://ineffecthardcore.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ineffecthc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InEffectHardcore/Bring the Noise Radio: https://www.instagram.com/bringthenoiseradio/DCxPC Live: https://dcxpclive.com/Struggling Artist Record Club: https://www.strugglingartistrecordclub.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/struggling_artist_record_club/
