Networking the 'scene'- easier than you think.

After a brief discussion of my blog earlier, I realised that this whole 'scene' which I have tried to explain, and being a part of it is a lot easier as it may seem. Obviously like a lot of things there are founders and important members, who spend a lot more time than others within this 'scene' doing the things which put them there.

It seems to me, that to be a part of a network all you must neccessarily do is be at a certain place at a certain time.
There are millions of other 'scenes' around- it's just that they have phases, and it seems that whatever is 'Shoreditch' is what is 'cool'. These are the hyped scenes- often the ones that can be made to be more and more obscure. They seem to be what people aspire to be, part of this scene. Like I say, there are the extreme cases, which can grab themselves as much good as bad publicity, and there are the rest, which may perhaps stumle accross this 'scene'.

Foals are not nu-rave, they're not glowsticks and neon themselves- but their fans seem to be. It's what I think has to do with the 'network'. Bands get asked to play nights- i.e The Insomniacs Ball night- Foals will play, along side The Young Knives (Indie, Oxford friendly pop) and Queens of Noize (Neon and big hair). This immediately associates them within this group of bands, particularly if they play along side them more than once, thus forming a network just from this.
