The show was scheduled to start around 10 PM. So, I arrived at the scene around the time they're supposed to

If it wasn't for school, this website would have been a beauty of this town's music scene. I planned on covering any and everything that is considered music from alternative rock, country, punk rock, hardcore metal, reggae, blues, techno/hip-hop, or whatnot. I have tons of ideas written down on a piece of paper, which is now stained from all the coffee spilt or Dr. Pepper and crumbs from all the

As you may have noticed, there has been miniscule amount of updates on BUMS lately because I've been really busy. Just to let you know. I'm not as active as several weeks ago. Don't worry, things will be great here again and it'll be in full throttle soon. I have plans in my mind that are on hold right now because of college projects and other personal responsibilities.

Finally another controversy, or is it?, going around in town. It ain't no Californian, it ain't no Bob, it ain't no Lord, and definitely ain't no never not me. But really, here's N.L.

N.L. Belardes is a co-blogger of mine. He is also one of most prominent novelists in town. He's an amazing writer. He broadcasts a show via podcast by launching them in episodes featuring interviews of local musicians, local film industry related talents, and the majority of Bakersfield arts. However, we will only link up the episodes related to music scene here on BUMS.All files are in MP3
