M.P.D.S

still waitin for news on a mpds patch :\

i would've loved to see something like that work out, with local chapters and such. that would be cool.

I don't think this is dying it depends in your contry or city, here in Monterrey Mexico we do some gigs with local bands and sometimes we do meetings, we also did a patch for the mexican MPDS, you sould do start some things in your city.
I think the myspace MPDS is over, but there is not much activity in facebook

more what you make of it yourself. Find some genuine bangers in your area, get to know them, introduce them to the whole idea of mpds and have meetings, backyard keggers, pubnights, whatever you like. It's up to you if it's gonna die or not :P

There's an international Facebookgroup, but there's not such a big "activity"...as it's said, try to find people in real life, my area is fucked up too :D

honestly i do still find activity in the MPDS when it comes to bands...and still,try to make the best of it yourself...here in amsterdam our scene is well...pretty much dead, we're just a small group of punks and metalheads who got together and organized gigs,tried to keep everything alive and so on... a cool example is villa friekens, a squat near my house we're alot of metalpunk bands played! including irony,nailbiter and even ENGLISH DOGS!! or mike d. he used to organize alot of short-fast-loud fests and helped the youngsters with theyr bands including my band...we got our reasons why we call him the godfather of the deadarea haha!
or maybe a better example...voorne putte, its a really small place somewhere in south holland...but still alot of punks builded up theyr own scene (VPU) which is pretty kickass, specially becouse you can see how dedicated those guys are
butyeah everything starts with yourself dude :) remember that!!
